Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Occupational Health
  • Sociology of Work

Background:

  • Shift work tolerance studies often fail to integrate physiological, psychological, and social factors.
  • Nurses' perspectives on night work are underrepresented in research.
  • Critical issues for nurses working night shifts in 24/7 healthcare settings are frequently overlooked.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a conceptual model of nurse-identified effects of night work.
  • To provide a platform for nurses' direct input on the challenges and benefits of night shifts.

Main Methods:

  • Inductive qualitative content analysis of survey responses.
  • Analysis of open-ended survey questions from 1355 registered nurses (RNs) working night shifts.
  • Focus on nurses' perceptions of night work advantages and disadvantages.

Main Results:

  • Identified four key categories: nurses' 'Lives' and 'Bodies', the 'Work' performed at night, and the 'Workplace' environment at night.
  • Descriptive summary of the major elements impacting nurses during night shifts.
  • Data highlights the unique aspects of night work within the nursing profession.

Conclusions:

  • Night work and its demanding clinical environments are intrinsically linked to the time of day.
  • The developed Nurses' Night Work model challenges traditional worker considerations by incorporating a 24/7 perspective.
  • This model acknowledges the interplay between night shifts and the subsequent day shifts in rotating schedules.
