Job stress is highly prevalent among healthcare professionals and is modestly associated with certain eating behaviors. Although job stress was not directly associated with BMI, maladaptive eating behaviors-particularly restrained and emotional eating--were significantly related to higher BMI. These findings highlight the importance of workplace strategies that address both stress management and healthy eating behaviors to support the well-being of healthcare professionals. This study is based on a cross-sectional design and is classified as level of evidence 4.
