“…In particular, rotating shift nurses experienced the most job‐related stress, followed in turn by the afternoon, day and night shift nurses (2). A Japanese study that examined the short‐term effects of shift work on mood changes in 1608 female nurses working on rotating 3‐shift schedules observed changes in subjective fatigue, activity and confusion, especially when shift changes occurred (16). The changes of mood were contingent on changes of sleep hours; however, because they were also observed after adjusting for the effect of sleep hours, the authors concluded that other factors than irregular sleep pattern affect the mood of nurses working rotating shifts.…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe and compare the self-assessed quality of sleep, occupational health, working environment, illness experience and job satisfaction among female nurses working different combinations of shifts. Background:Evidence from several studies indicates that there is an association between the disruption of the circadian cycle caused by shift work and adverse health effects. Methods:A cross-sectional design was used with a sample of 348 nurses drawn from the registry of the Icelandic Nurses' Association, representing 17% of the workforce of Icelandic nurses. A self-administered questionnaire, measuring occupational health, quality of sleep, the illness experience, job satisfaction and working environment was used. Data were analysed according to type of shift (days only, rotating days/evenings, rotating days/evenings/nights) by use of analysis of variance and chisquare. Results:No difference was found between participants based on type of shift with regard to the illness experience, job satisfaction and quality of sleep. Nurses working rotating day/evening/night shifts reported a longer working day, more stressful environmental risk factors, more strenuous work and that they were less able to control their work-pace. In general, the nurses reported low severity of symptoms; however, nurses working rotating days/evenings shifts experienced more severe gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal symptoms as compared to the others. This was explained by the short rest period provided for between evening and morning shifts. Conclusion:In general Icelandic nurses are satisfied with their work and their shift assignment does not seem to pathologically disrupt their circadian cycle.Nevertheless, nursing directors are advised to look more closely at the organization of nurses' work during night-shifts, as well as the rest period for nurses changing from evening to day shifts.

Mood Change and Perception of Workload in Australian Midwives

et al. 2010

Investigations of mood and workload in health care settings have focussed primarily on nurses and junior doctors. Given the critical shortfall in the Australian midwifery workforce, and the specialised nature of midwifery as an occupation, it is important to understand how mood and workload are experienced by midwives. Twenty midwives (18F, 2M) in an Australian metropolitan hospital completed logbooks assessing daily fluctuations in subjective mood and workload. Participants also provided information about history of psychopathology and sleep quality. Results revealed that midwives were relatively stable in terms of mood but did experience increased fear and decreased happiness when at work. Further, workload factors significantly predicted mood at work. Specifically, when participants felt that their work was more demanding and frustrating and required more effort, or when they felt that they could not accomplish all that was expected, mood was negatively influenced. This supports the connection between workload and negative mood change in healthcare. Given the potential for mood to influence a multitude of functions relevant to safety, performance and psychosocial wellbeing it is important to understand the factors which influence mood, particularly in light of the current shortfall in the Australian healthcare workforce.
