Shift work significantly impacts leisure activities for petrochemical plant workers, with day and shift schedules affecting activity frequencies. Further research is needed to understand how work schedules disturb leisure time.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Sociology
  • Industrial Hygiene

Background:

  • Working and living conditions in Brazilian petrochemical plants were assessed.
  • Leisure time activities of day and shift workers were analyzed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze reported leisure activities of day and shift workers.
  • To identify differences in leisure activities based on work schedules.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study involving 116 workers (67 shiftworkers) from two petrochemical plants.
  • Workers logged leisure activities daily for three weeks.
  • Chi-squared statistics and log-linear models were used for analysis.

Main Results:

  • Meals with family and TV viewing were the most common leisure activities.

  • Initial analysis showed no relation between activities and work schedules.
  • Further analysis revealed significant differences (p < 0.0001) in activity frequencies between day and shift workers.

    • Conclusions:

    • Shift work schedules significantly alter the frequency of most leisure activities for petrochemical workers.
    • Factors like home placement and shift rotation type may influence leisure activities.
    • Further investigation into work-schedule-disrupted leisure activities is recommended.
