Nightly shifts may increase sleepiness risk for healthcare workers. While psychological stress is perceived, this study found no direct link between shift work and gastrointestinal issues in nurses.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Nursing Research
  • Psychology

Context:

  • Healthcare professionals face significant occupational stress.
  • Shift work is common in nursing, potentially impacting well-being.
  • Understanding stress-related health risks is crucial for workforce management.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate occupational stress risks in a diverse group of healthcare workers.
  • To compare stress factors and health outcomes between daily and shift workers.
  • To investigate the association between shift work and health issues like sleepiness, hypertension, and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Summary:

  • A survey of 197 healthcare workers (nurses, auxiliary staff, physiotherapists, midwives, lab technicians) assessed occupational stress using the S-90 questionnaire.

  • Workers were divided into two groups: 100 with daily and nightly shifts (Subset A) and 97 with only daily shifts (Subset B).
  • Results indicated a higher risk of daily sleepiness in workers with nightly shifts. Hypertension prevalence in the daily-only group was potentially linked to higher average age. No statistically significant association was found between shift work and gastrointestinal symptoms, despite a greater perceived psychological load.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the potential impact of nightly shifts on sleepiness in healthcare workers.
    • Suggests age as a significant factor in hypertension among daily workers.
    • Informs strategies for mitigating occupational stress and improving health outcomes in shift-working healthcare professionals.
