“…In the study of Shao et al, most of shift work nurses had a problem with sleep (22). In Vallieres et al study, insomnia in shift workers worsened certain physical and mental health problems in them and impaired their quality of life (23). In another study by Asaoka et al conducted on 1202 nurses, the prevalence of insomnia was 24.4%, they had lower healthrelated QOL, more severe depressive symptoms, and more errors than those without insomnia.…”

Background: There is no doubt that problems during wakefulness can affect the quality and length of sleep. Sleep disturbances can have a serious negative effect on a person's ability, function, and overall well-being. One of the most important issues that can result in sleep disturbances is professional causes, and the most important of which is shift work. The present study aimed at investigating the association between shift work and various sleep disorders and quality of life. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The data were collected using the Persian version of Epworth sleepiness scale andSF-36 questionnaires to assess the participants' sleep disorder and quality of life. The questionnaires were filled in by 207 shift workers. Age, gender, shift works experience, and working experience were recorded for all participants.

“…Keywords circadian depression diabetes neuroticism nightshift obesity shiftwork well being BACKGROUND Shiftwork is associated with detrimental effects on health and wellbeing, including increased risk of diabetes [1][2][3][4][5] and sleep problems, [6][7][8] higher body mass index (BMI) [1,[9][10][11][12], and increased signs of anxiety and depression. [8,13,14] Shiftworkers were once predominantly male, manufacturing sector workers, but this is no longer the case; a recent government survey reported that security services, transport and communications industries were the most common occupation of shiftworkers in the United Kingdom.…”

“…In particular, rotational-shift workers, including those who work night shifts (e.g., nurses, police officers, airline pilots, and truck drivers), have been reported to experience greater life-or work-related problems relative to day-shift workers [4][5][6]. The problems related to rotational-shift work affect sleep [4][5][6][7] and work performance [4][5][6]8]; furthermore, they lead to an increase in lifestyle-related health [9] risks such as obesity, diabetes [10], heart disease [11], depression, hypertension [12][13][14], and cancer [15]. Therefore, the improvement of rotationalshift workers' sleep quality and quality of life is important.…”

Purpose This study aimed to explore the association between sleep quality and subjective fatigue in nurses who performed rotational-shift work. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted and included nurses working day and night shifts (n = 35) at Toyama University Hospital in Japan. To examine the influence of sleep quality on subjective fatigue, participants were categorized as poor (n = 23) or good (n = 12) sleepers. They assessed their own sleep status using the St Mary's Hospital Sleep Questionnaire and subjective fatigue following shift changes (holiday to day shift, day shift to day shift, before night shift, after night shift, and day shift to holiday). Results Poor sleepers' State-Trait Anxiety Inventory scores were higher relative to those of good sleepers. Moreover, good sleepers recovered from subjective fatigue after sleep following all shift changes. Poor sleepers' subjective fatigue also reduced after sleep following 'before night shift', 'after night shift', and 'day shift to holiday' shift changes but not 'holiday to day shift' or 'day shift to day shift' shift changes. Sleep duration was stable across shift changes in good sleepers, and poor sleepers' sleep durations were significantly longer following 'before night shift', 'after night shift', and 'day shift to holiday' shift changes relative to those following 'holiday to day shift' and 'day shift to day shift' shift changes. Conclusions The results suggested that poor sleepers' subjective fatigue following 'before night shift', 'after night shift', and 'day shift to holiday' could be reduced by increasing sleep duration, indicating that it is important to ensure sufficient sleep duration to improve all nurses' sleep quality and reduce poor sleepers' subjective fatigue. Furthermore, sufficient relaxation at bedtime and the reduction of anxiety are important in maintaining good sleep quality.
