Terauchi M, Ideno Y, Hayashi K. Effect of shift work on excessive daytime sleepiness in female nurses: results from the Japan Nurses' Health Study. INDUSTRIAL HEALTH 2024; 62:252-258. [PMID: 38447994 PMCID: PMC11292310 DOI: 10.2486/indhealth.2023-0116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
We investigated the relationship between shift work and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) among participants in the Japan Nurses' Health Study (JNHS). Responses of 9,728 female nurses to the 6th follow-up questionnaire were cross-sectionally analyzed. EDS was defined as an Epworth Sleepiness Scale score ≥11. EDS-associated factors were evaluated using Poisson regression analysis after adjustment for multiple confounders. Of the participants (mean age, 52.2 ± 8.0 yr), 28.7% were engaged in shift work, and the overall prevalence of EDS was 24.6%. EDS-associated factors were investigated separately in women aged <40 yr (n=250), 40-59 yr (n=7,467), and ≥60 yr (n=2,011). Current engagement in shift work (prevalence ratio: 1.92 [95% confidence interval: 1.20-3.06], compared with no experience of shift work) and obesity (2.08 [1.11-3.88] for BMI ≥30 and 1.39 [1.02-1.90] for BMI of 25.0-30.0, compared with BMI of 18.5-25.0) showed an independent association with EDS in women aged ≥60 yr. The effect of shift work on EDS in female nurses differed by age, as shift work and obesity contributed to EDS only in older participants. Shift work should be assigned after full consideration of age, sleep, and health status to minimize medical errors.

Abstract
This study examines the associations between working night shifts and various outcomes, including sleep patterns, healthcare workers' sleep quality, and physical, mental, and social well-being. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted, where the findings revealed that night shift healthcare workers experienced poor sleep quality and pattern. In addition, night shift healthcare workers were more likely to express their intent to leave, the impact of work on their social lives, and a low level of job satisfaction. Healthcare workers showed moderate anxiety and mild depression levels. Lower job satisfaction correlated with higher anxiety and depression levels among healthcare workers, while the negative impact of working hours on social life was associated with increased anxiety and depression. Organizations should consider establishing comprehensive wellness initiatives covering work-life balance, stress management strategies, and mental health resources.

Abstract
Objectives: To gain a comprehensive understanding of the occupational hazards encountered by home health care nurses in Japan and to elucidate the reality of harm they incur, the hazardous situations, and the protective measures taken. Methods:A questionnaire survey of managers of home health care nursing agencies in Japan was conducted, and 355 valid responses were obtained. The survey questions concerned the occupational hazards experienced by home health care nursing staff. The occupational hazards were classified into 6 categories, and responses were obtained regarding harm, hazardous situations, and protective measures in each category. Results: The types of harm that occurred at highest rates during the previous 3 years were emotional abuse by the patient or their family members, lower back pain resulting from improper posture while providing care, sexual harassment by the patients and their family members, automobile accidents while traveling to home care sites, and allergic reactions to the environment at home care sites. Some hazardous situations were caused by the unique environments of home care sites. Conclusions: In order to prevent the occurrence of harm, the development of risk assessment tools, educational initiatives to increase awareness of occupational hazards, and consideration of the financial and technical support that will enable the use of assistive devices in the practice of nursing techniques were considered necessary. The development of effective guidelines and manuals specific to the occupational hazards encountered by home health care nurses is an important challenge.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES The response of sleep depth to CPAP in patients with OSA is unpredictable. The odds-ratio-product (ORP) is a continuous index of sleep depth and wake propensity that distinguishes different sleep depths within sleep stages, and different levels of vigilance during stage wake. When expressed as fractions of time spent in different ORP deciles, nine distinctive patterns are found. Only three of these are associated with OSA. We sought to determine whether sleep depth improves on CPAP exclusively in patients with these three ORP patterns. METHODS ORP was measured during the diagnostic and therapeutic components of 576 split-night polysomnographic (PSG) studies. ORP architecture in the diagnostic section was classified into one of the nine possible ORP patterns and the changes in sleep architecture were determined on CPAP for each of these patterns. ORP architecture was similarly determined in the first half of 760 full-night diagnostic PSG studies and the changes in the second half were measured to control for differences in sleep architecture between the early and late portions of sleep time in the absence of CPAP. RESULTS Frequency of the three ORP patterns increased progressively with the apnea-hypopnea index. Sleep depth improved significantly on CPAP only in the three ORP patterns associated with OSA. Changes in CPAP in the other six patterns, or in full diagnostic PSG studies, were insignificant or paradoxical. CONCLUSIONS ORP architecture types can identify patients in whom OSA adversely affects sleep and whose sleep is expected to improve on CPAP therapy.

Abstract
This study aimed to measure the spectral power differences in the brain rhythms among a group of hospital doctors before and after an overnight on-call duty. Thirty-two healthy doctors who performed regular on-call duty in a tertiary hospital in Sarawak, Malaysia were voluntarily recruited into this study. All participants were interviewed to collect relevant background information, followed by a self-administered questionnaire using Chalder Fatigue Scale and electroencephalogram test before and after an overnight on-call duty. The average overnight sleep duration during the on-call period was 2.2 hours (p<0.001, significantly shorter than usual sleep duration) among the participants. The mean (SD) Chalder Fatigue Scale score of the participants were 10.8 (5.3) before on-call and 18.4 (6.6) after on-call (p-value < 0.001). The theta rhythm showed significant increase in spectral power globally after an overnight on-call duty, especially when measured at eye closure. In contrast, the alpha and beta rhythms showed reduction in spectral power, significantly at temporal region, at eye closure, following an overnight on-call duty. These effects are more statistically significant when we derived the respective relative theta, alpha, and beta values. The finding of this study could be useful for development of electroencephalogram screening tool to detect mental fatigue.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Aufgrund von Arbeitszeiten, die außerhalb der normalen Tagesarbeitszeit liegen, kann es bei Pflegepersonal zu Störungen der inneren Uhr kommen. Durch zusätzliche Verpflichtungen im familiären Bereich kann sich möglicherweise eine Normalisierung der zirkadianen Störung bei weiblichen Pflegenden erschweren, da sie zu Hause nicht genug Zeit für Schlaf und Erholung finden.
Fragestellung
In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll explorativ untersucht werden, ob Beschäftigte in der Pflege ein höheres Risiko für Tagesschläfrigkeit haben als andere Berufsgruppen, die nicht im Schichtdienst arbeiten. Darüber hinaus soll ebenfalls explorativ analysiert werden, inwiefern das Geschlecht in Verbindung mit der Beschäftigung im Schichtdienst eine Rolle hinsichtlich der Tagesschläfrigkeit spielt.
Material und Methoden
Aus der 10.000er Baselinestichprobe der Hamburg City Health Study (HCHS) wurden alle Proband:innen selektiert, die beruflich in der Pflege tätig waren. Anhand des Alters, des Geschlechts und des Chronotyps wurden aus dem HCHS-Datensatz aktiv Beschäftigte im Verhältnis 1:3 gezogen, die aus Branchen mit vorwiegend keiner Schichtarbeit stammen (Kontrollen). Die Tagesschläfrigkeit wurde anhand des Epworth-Sleepiness-Scale-Fragebogens (ESS) erhoben.
Ergebnisse
In der Gesamtstichprobe der HCHS waren 4646 Personen aktiv beschäftigt. Unter diesen befanden sich 134 Personen, die angaben, in der Pflege zu arbeiten. Anhand des Matchings von 1:3 wurde ein Datensatz von 536 Personen erzeugt. Insgesamt konnte für 19 % der Stichprobe eine exzessive Tagesschläfrigkeit beobachtet werden, davon betroffen waren 25 % der Pflegenden und 17 % der Beschäftigten anderer Branchen. Weibliche Beschäftigte in der Pflege hatten im Vergleich zu Männern aus anderen Branchen ein statistisch signifikant erhöhtes Risiko für exzessive Tagesschläfrigkeit (OR 3,5; 95 % KI 1,32–9,23).
Diskussion
Anhand der Ergebnisse der bevölkerungsbezogenen Untersuchung zeigt sich, dass Pflegepersonal im Vergleich zu Branchen ohne Schichtarbeit öfter von Tagesschläfrigkeit betroffen ist. Inwieweit Frauen, die in der Pflege arbeiten ein noch höheres Risiko für Tagesschläfrigkeit besitzen, sollte in weiteren Studien anhand zusätzlicher Merkmale präziser untersucht werden.

Abstract
An increasing body of evidence suggests that fatigue among healthcare staff is widespread, owing to a combination of high work intensity, long daytime hours and night-shift working. This has been linked to poorer outcomes for patients and longer inpatient stays, and to increased risks of work-related accidents, errors and injuries for practitioners. These include needlestick injuries and motor vehicle accidents, and other impacts on practitioner health, ranging from cancer, mental health problems, metabolic disorders to coronary disease. Other 24-hour safety-critical industries have fatigue policies that acknowledge the risks of staff fatigue and provide a system to manage it and mitigate harm, but these are still lacking within healthcare. This review explains the basic physiology behind fatigue and outlines its impacts on healthcare practitioners' clinical practice and wellbeing. It proposes methods to minimise these effects for individuals, organisations and the wider UK health service.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As shift workers, nurses are at an increased risk of drowsy driving because of long hours at work and/or short sleep periods between shifts. METHODS In this study, a descriptive cross-sectional cohort design was used to examine the prevalence of drowsy driving among nurses. FINDINGS An electronic survey was sent to 7,217 nurses of which 2,205 (30.5%) completed the survey. Thirty percent (672 nurses) reported having dozed off while driving during their commute to work. In addition, 44.6% (976) of nurses disclosed feeling unsafe or uncomfortable during their commute due to drowsiness or fatigue. CONCLUSION/APPLICATION TO PRACTICE As shift workers, nurses are subject to drowsy driving and its untoward effects. Healthcare leaders and nurse executives are in a position to evaluate and explore fatigue mitigation strategies such as napping, as this may prove to be beneficial in supporting nurse well-being and public safety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Burnout and work satisfaction have been shown to be associated with risk of commuting crashes and drowsy driving. Although health care workers (HCWs) were found to have high burnout, no study has yet examined the relationship between burnout and commuting crashes in this occupational group. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine the relationships between burnout, commuting crashes and drowsy driving among HCWs. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 291 HCWs in a tertiary hospital, using an online survey focusing on burnout subscales, work satisfaction, commuting crashes, and drowsy driving to and from work. RESULTS One third of the sample population reported commuting crashes that led to physical, mental, and quality-of-life harms in more than half of them. Burnout was not associated with commuting crashes; however, it was associated with increased drowsy driving. Nurses reported on more physical, emotional, and quality-of-life harms, and administrative staff reported on more physical harm. Low work satisfaction was significantly associated with higher severity of reported mental harm (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Burnout and commuting crashes are more common among physician and nurses, compared to other HCWs. Work satisfaction and sense of personal accomplishment can reduce the negative outcomes of commuting crashes and may contribute to recovery of HCWs after commuting crashes.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: analyze the relationship between sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, and health symptoms among the nursing team working in a hospital. Method: cross-sectional research, carried out with the nursing team of a public hospital in Brazil, between September 2017 and April 2018. A sociodemographic questionnaire, health symptoms, Sleepiness Scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used. Data are presented as absolute and relative frequencies, means, standard deviations, bivariate analysis, and binary logistic regression. Results: a total of 308 workers participated in the study, and poor sleep quality and absence of daytime sleepiness predominated among them. There was an association between sleepiness, children (p=0.006), and work accidents (p=0.044). Factors associated with poor sleep quality and drowsiness, appetite disorders, feeling of poor digestion, flatulence, weight gain, irritability, headache, feeling of low self-esteem, and mood lability. Conclusion: appetite disorder was the main factor for poor sleep quality for the nursing team working in a hospital in Brazil. This suggests that it is important to consider sleep quality when examining a worker´s health.

Abstract
RESUMO Objetivo: analisar a relação entre qualidade do sono, sonolência diurna excessiva e sintomas de saúde entre a equipe de enfermagem que atuava em um hospital. Método: pesquisa transversal, realizada com a equipe de enfermagem de um hospital público do Brasil, entre setembro de 2017 e abril de 2018. Foram utilizados questionário sociodemográfico, sintomas de saúde, Escala de Sonolência e Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (PSQI-BR). Os dados são apresentados como frequências absolutas e relativas, médias, desvios padrão, análise bivariada e regressão logística binária. Resultados: participaram do estudo 308 trabalhadores, predominando entre eles a má qualidade do sono e a ausência de sonolência diurna. Houve associação entre sonolência, crianças (p=0,006) e acidentes de trabalho (p=0,044). Os fatores associados à má qualidade do sono e sonolência foram distúrbios do apetite, sensação de má digestão, flatulência, ganho de peso, irritabilidade, dor de cabeça, sensação de baixa autoestima e labilidade do humor. Conclusão: o transtorno do apetite foi o principal fator de má qualidade do sono para a equipe de enfermagem que atuava em um hospital no Brasil. Isso sugere que é importante considerar a qualidade do sono ao examinar a saúde do trabalhador.
