20241 citationOpen accessUniversité de Kinshasa (UNIKIN)

Abstract

Our results underline an important prevalence of hypertension among healthcare workers in Kinshasa, despite their medical knowledge of the causes and the risks. A healthy lifestyle among healthcare workers is fundamental for ensuring the efficiency and productivity of the healthcare system. Regulating multiple job holding and implementing a hypertension prevention intervention encompassing their holistic support is crucial for reducing job stress and promoting well-being.
