Social jetlag and depression in female rotating-shift nurses: A secondary analysis
1Red Cross College of Nursing, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose:
This study aimed to identify the predictors of depression among female rotating-shift nurses.
Design And Methods:
This secondary data analysis used data of 190 Korean female rotating-shift nurses from the parent study conducted in 2018. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of depression.
Findings:
Young age, poor sleep quality, and greater morning-shift social jetlag predicted depression among female nurses working a three-shift schedule.
Practice Implications:
Nursing management should consider scheduling shifts to minimize nurses' social jetlag and develop interventions for improving sleep quality to prevent depression among female rotating-shift nurses.
