“…Aufgrund der Desynchronisierung des Schlaf-Wachrhythmus finden sich Hinweise für psychische Störungen. Costa (1996) Gastrointestinale Beschwerden gelten in der Literaturnach den Schlafstörungen -als die zweithäufigsten Probleme infolge von Schicht-und insbesondere regelmä-ßiger Nachtarbeit (Angersbach et al 1980;Wedderburn 2000). Costa (1996) spricht bei Nachtschichtarbeit von einem 2 bis 5-mal häufigeren Auftreten von Magenbeschwerden.…”

“…Er kennzeichnet den Umstand, dass an besonders belastenden Arbeitsplätzen, wie u.a. in Nacht-und Schichtarbeit, vorwiegend Menschen arbeiten, die gesund und leistungsfähig sind, weil andere, die diesen Arbeitsbedingungen nicht oder nicht in ausreichendem Maße gewachsen sind, diese Tätigkeit entweder gar nicht erst auf sich nehmen (dürfen) oder bei gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen aufgeben (Angersbach et al 1980;Wedderburn 2000). Aus drei Gründen kann im Folgenden ein Healthy-Worker-Effekt weitgehend ausgeschlossen werden.…”

Working at the wrong time at the wrong place? A matching-analysis on health stresses for shift and night work Abstract Many studies report diseases caused by shift and night work. As a rule, however, such studies do not take into account socio-demographic factors and job characteristics. Based on the BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey 2006, the present paper looks into the effects of various job-specific and socio-structural factors on physical and mental health as well as sleeping disorders. The analysis was carried out using the matching approach. Furthermore, the matching approach was used to form to shift and night work groups as structurally identical references as possible with regard to social-structural characteristics and job features. This strategy makes it possible to extract independent effects of the timing of work on health problems.

“…The few, already aging, epidemiologic studies on the relationship between shift work and gastrointestinal disease indicate that gastrointestinal problems are the most prevalent among young shift workers aged 21 to 25 years (20). The mean interval between the start of working in shifts and the diagnosis of peptic ulcer is short, only 5 years for rotating 3-shift workers and about 6 years for permanent night workers (21).…”

Harma MI, llmarinen JE. Towards the 24-hour society-new approaches for aging shift workers? Scand J Work Environ Health 1999;25(6, special issue):610-615.The new "24-hour society" increases night work and the diversity of flexible workhour patterns. At the same time, the number of older shift workers is growing in most developed countries due to the general aging of the working population. Together with new experimental and epidemiologic data on the alarming relationship of shift work to fatigue, performance, accidents, and chronic health effects like coronary heart disease, there is reason to believe that shift work may become a major occupational health and safety problem in the near future. The prevention of shiftwork-related health and safety problems will be a major challenge for the employer, employees, and occupational health professionals during the next few decades. The present paper shortly summarizes the current knowledge on the relationship between shift work, aging, and health and outlines practical countermeasures and research needs to improve the health and well-being of aging shift workers.

“…Shift-and nightwork have been associated with considerable negative impacts on health and well-being. Effects have been reported for cardiovascular (3)(4)(5)(6)(7) and gastrointestinal (8,9) health, obesity (10,11), the metabolic syndrome (12), sleepiness (13), need for recovery from work (14), fatigue (15)(16)(17)(18)(19), accidents (8), and well-being (20).…”

van Amelsvoort LGPM, Jansen NWH, Swaen GMH, van den Brandt PA, Kant I. Direction of shift rotation among three-shift workers in relation to psychological health and work-family conflict. Scand J Work Environ Health 2004;30(2):149-156. ObjectivesThe aim of the present study was to investigate whether the direction of shift rotation was related to the need for recovery, fatigue, sleep quality, work-family conflict, and leisure time among three-shift workers.Methods Data of 95 workers in forward-rotating three-shift work and 681 workers in backward-rotating threeshift work, with 32 months of follow-up, in the Maastricht cohort study (N=12 095) were used. Both crosssectional and longitudinal analyses were carried out.Results A backward rotation schedule was prospectively related to an increased need for recovery [relative risk (RR) 2.88, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.06-7.81] and poor general health (RR 3.21, 95% CI 1.32-7.83), as compared with a forward rotation schedule. Adjustment for demographic and health variables and the characteristics of the work environment did not alter these relations considerably. Furthermore, a forward rotation schedule was prospectively related to less work-family conflict and better sleep quality over the 32 months of follow-up. Finally, high levels of fatigue, need for recovery, poor sleep quality, poor general health, insufficient leisure time, and work-family conflict at first measurement were associated with an increased risk of leaving shiftwork during the follow-up. ConclusionsOptimization of shiftwork schedules, in terms of shift rotation, seems a promising method for decreasing the negative impact accompanying shiftwork. Future studies should investigate whether these findings for three-shift workers are applicable to other shiftwork schedules as well. Furthermore, this study clearly illustrates the existence of secondary selection processes among shiftworkers and thereby emphasizes the complexity of valid shiftwork research.
