Longer 12.5-hour shifts negatively impact registered nurse performance. Effective shift-work management is crucial for nursing workforce well-being and effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Practice
  • Occupational Health
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Shift work significantly impacts registered nurse (RN) performance and outcomes.
  • Previous research indicates potential negative effects of specific shift lengths on nursing quality.
  • Understanding these impacts is vital due to evolving work patterns in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on shift work and RN performance.
  • To present findings from a study observing early-career RNs.
  • To identify key factors for future research on shift work's influence.

Main Methods:

  • Non-participant observation of 34 staff nurses in their first year of practice.
  • Data collection focused on nurses within the UK Professional Register (Part 1 or Part 12).

Main Results:

  • Findings support previous research linking 12.5-hour shifts to less effective RN performance.
  • Observed performance indicated potential detriments associated with extended shift durations.

Conclusions:

  • Effective shift-work management is essential for enhancing nursing workforce well-being and effectiveness.
  • Further empirical research is needed to investigate shift work's impact on nursing processes and outcomes.
  • Study findings offer indicators for designing future research and managing nursing shifts.
