study was to determine if there are statistically significant associations between insufficient sleep, abnormal eating patterns, working
12-hour shifts, years of working night shift, age, stress, marital status, nursing units, decreased physical activity, and level of weight
gain among female Filipino nurses working the night shift in the hospital. The theoretical foundation of this study was locate evidence,
evaluate evidence, assess evidence, and informed decision model. An online survey through Survey Monkey was used to access nurses via
a convenient sampling. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation, multiple regression, and ANOVA. According to study findings,
there were significant associations between insufficient sleep, abnormal eating patterns, marital status, 12-hour shifts, number of years
working on night shift, and increased in body mass index. The implications for social change include information that nurses can use to
better understand the negative implications of night shift work on health. At the organizational level, this study provides information for
administrators and nursing leaders that might facilitate change in policies by improving working conditions for nurses.
