Introduction & Objective Lifestyle is one of the most important factors affecting health. Nurses, as health promoters, are at the forefront of the fight against Covid-19 disease; thus, they are at risk of the disease and its subsequent problems. The present study aimed to determine the lifestyle and influential factors among nurses with Covid-19. Methods This is a cross-sectional study performed on 250 nurses with Covid-19, working in hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2021. Samples were first selected by multi-stage random sampling method. Then, they were classified into clusters using purposive sampling method based on inclusion criteria. The data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and a cross-culturally adapted nurses’ lifestyle questionnaire. Then, the data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests in SPSS ver. 25. Eventually, p-value < .05 was considered as the significant level. Results The mean score of nurses’ lifestyle was 4.06 ± 0.39. The highest scores of lifestyle subscales include competency (4.69 ± 0.30), systematic interactions (4.66 ± 0.35), responsibility (4.086 ± 0.55), role management and work system (3.68 ± 0.52), management of individual life (3.49 ± 0.68), and interactions (3.34 ± 0.44), respectively. The findings of the linear regression statistical test showed that sex, marriage, work shift, and work experience have significant predictive power for the overall lifestyle, respectively. Conclusion Nurses with Covid-19have an acceptable lifestyle level. Factors such as sex, marriage, shift work, and work experience affect the lifestyle of nurses with Covid-19. Accordingly, planning is necessary to improve the lifestyle of nurses and the factors affecting it during the Covid-19 pandemic.
