Design and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a random sample of 297 nurses in a research hospital. Findings: There is a negative correlation between nurses' emotional eating and life satisfaction (β = −0.192, p < 0.001), and a positive correlation between emotional eating and perceived stress (β = 0.392, p < 0.001). Perceived stress, life satisfaction, and marital status constituted 24% of the factors affecting emotional eating behaviors. Practice Implications: Psychiatric nurses would benefit from developing effective training programs that support nurses in making healthy lifestyle choices. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEmotional EatingHealth PromotionLife SatisfactionNurseStressArticle
