[Investigation of functional dyspepsia and functional gastrointestinal diseases in shift nurses]
1The First People's Hospital, Shangqiu, Henan Province 476100, China.
Objective:
To investigate the functional dyspepsia (FD) and functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGD) in shift nurses.
Methods:
139 shift nurses were investigated while 104 nurses on daytime duty served as control at the same time. Two groups accepted investigation including digestive system questionnaire and the psychological mood table format.
Results:
78 shift nurses (56.12%) had FD and FGD and the incidence rate was higher than the control group (41 nurses 39.42%; chi2 = 6.633, P < 0.01). In its sub-model, FD, IBS and FD + FGD symptom were present in shift nurses while FD, FD + FGD symptom and IBS predominated in the control group (P > 0.05). The SDS total score, SAS total score, work pressure total score and work tiredness in group A were higher than the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
Conclusion:
Shift nurses tend to have the functional dyspepsia and functional gastrointestinal diseases, which relates to passive mood work hard and nerve stress.
