Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare nutrients intake, anthropometric, biochemical and psychiatric indices between shift working and day-time nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in which ninety eight female nurses (55 day-time workers and 43 shift workers) from six educational hospitals of Jondi-Shapour University of medical sciences, Ahvaz, Iran were participated. A questionnaire including dietary, anthropometric, disease history and lifestyle pattern questions was completed and 3-day 24-hour recalls, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were collected. Serum hs-CRP and 25(OH)D 3 concentrations were measured by immunoturbidimetric and electrochemiluminescent immunoassay method, respectively. Anthropometric indices were measured according to World health organization standard protocol. Independent sample t and chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: There was a lower dietary intake of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, magnesium and iron in shift worker compared with day-time nurses (p < 0.05). No significant differences in serum hs-CRP concentrations, serum 25(OH)D 3 levels, vitamin D deficiency percentage, hemoglobin and hematocrite concentrations, and also anthropometric and psychiatric variables were found between two groups. Duration of exposure to sunlight was significantly higher in shift workers than in day time nurses. Engagement time in weekly physical exercise was around 11 times greater in day-time nurses compared with the shift work nurses (p = 0.001). Conclusions: This study showed that shift working is associated with some nutritional deficiencies and sedentary lifestyle among female nurses.

“…These studies did not include information on the extent of outdoor work but were based on expert classifications of jobs into indoor and outdoor jobs. Outdoor walking has been shown to have a therapeutic effect on patients diagnosed with SAD comparable to that seen for light therapy (17), and occupational exposure to daylight has been associated with less symptoms of burnout (18). Contradictory findings are made for the association between objective measures of winter illumination and a diagnosis of SAD, SAD scores, or low winter mood in the general population (19,20).…”

“…Burnout and the degree to which nursing professionals are impacted depend on many factors, such as their age, gender, and marital status, as well as the duration of professional life and suitability of the job [25,26]. For instance on gender, some studies found that there was no association between gender and burnout [22,23], although other studies found that women had a higher risk of burnout [21,28,29].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the burnout of nurses, to determine whether burnout levels differ according to specific demographic variables and the unit is working and to identify the problems related to the subject. The research was conducted at a university hospital in Manisa. The sample of this study was conducted 204 nursing students. The data were collected by a nurses identification form, Maslach Burnout Scale. ANOVA, Kruskall Wallis, Mann Whitney U and Pearson correlation were used for statistical analysis. According to the results gathered from the findings; nurses live in moderate emotional exhaustion, and depersonalisation, nurses perceive as lower personal accomplishment. With respect to nurses of gender, educational status and work services that it was found that there was a statistically significant between score of scale of personal accomplishment subscale (p<0.05). Graduated degree and female nurses perceived as a high personal accomplishment. As for, age and working years that scores of subscales they received on the scale of nurses is evaluated that it was determined that there was a statistically significant between scores of depersonalization subscale (p<0.05). As the period of working in the job and ages decreased depersonalisation rised in nurses and the burnout was seen to be higher in staff nurses. Nurses within the scope of this research are experiencing burnout. Therefore, actions to prevent and to develop strategies for dealing to burnout of nurses must be planned and implemented in both organizational and individual basis.Â
