    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Healthcare Management
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Night shift work is integral to maintaining 24-hour hospital operations.
    • Nursing predominantly employs females, yet research on night work's effects on this demographic is scarce.
    • Objective descriptions of nursing practices during night shifts are infrequent in existing literature.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review existing literature on night shift work in general hospital nursing.
    • To identify key themes and research gaps concerning night nursing.
    • To explore challenges faced by night and shift workers and the provision of continuous nursing care.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of approximately 250 articles, reports, and books.
    • Analysis focused on night work in general hospital nursing settings.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Thematic synthesis of research findings.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified three primary themes: challenges for night/shift workers, maintaining 24-hour nursing services, and ward activity at night.
    • Highlighted a significant lack of research on the specific impacts of night work on female nurses.
    • Noted the scarcity of objective data describing night nursing activities.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is critically needed to understand the effects of night work on nurses, particularly females.
    • There is a need for more objective data collection on nursing activities during night shifts.
    • Addressing the challenges of night shift work is essential for sustaining effective 24-hour hospital nursing services.
