“…[14] This result is in accordance with studies reporting that an accumulation of fatigue is associated with extended working days (12-hour shift). [18,67] However, when considering critical care units, fatigue is the most common complaint among emergency nurses, as a result of long working hours of physical activity. [68] While in the ICU, the ICU nurses working for 12 hour shifts were more exposed to a psychological workload than nurses who worked for 8-hour shifts.…”

Objective: This review was conducted to investigate the impact of applying 12-hour shifts in comparison to 8-hour shifts on nurses' health wellbeing and job satisfaction. Methods: MEDLINE, CINHALE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases were searched, covering the period between 1980 to 2017. Studies were included if they concerned nurses working for 12-hour shifts in comparison to 8-hour shifts in hospital settings, based on observational/surveys studies. Results: In the yielded 12 studies, 3 studies reported that 12-hour shifts had an impact on nurses' health and wellbeing, such as cognitive anxiety, musculo-skeletal disorders, sleep disturbance, and role stress; however, there was no significant difference between 12-and 8-hour shifts with digestive and cardiovascular disorders, psychological ill health, and somatic anxiety. Of the 4 studies measuring the impact of 12-hour shifts on fatigue, three studies showed that the nurses experienced more fatigue in the 12-hour shifts in comparison to 8-hour shifts; nevertheless, one study did not find a significant difference in fatigue and critical thinking performances between 12-and 8-hour shifts. Nine of the 12 studies measured job satisfaction in 12-and 8-hour shifts, 5 studies showed a greater dissatisfaction regarding 12-hour shifts, while 3 studies found that the nurses were more satisfied with 12-hour shifts than with 8-hour shifts; but one study pointed out that there was a difference between the two shifts considering pay and professional status. Conclusions: The findings of the review suggest that 12-hour shifts resulted in negative health concerns and job dissatisfaction; however, there is a need for more empirical evidence to support this.

“…The risks of making an error at work were signifi cantly increased when work shifts were longer than twelve hours, when nurses worked overtime, or when they worked more than forty hours per week (12). Extended daily working hours have both negative (example fatigue) and positive effects (more time for the family, social life, and domestic duties) (13)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”

The objective of this study was to examine the perception of confl ict between work and family roles and job, family, and life satisfaction among nurses in Croatia. One hundred and twenty-nine nurses (married mothers) working in hospitals in Zadar, Šibenik, and Split were divided in four groups according to their worktime schedule. The participants completed a survey, which included a set of sociodemographic-type questions, questions about the level and allocation of family responsibilities between spouses, and scales measuring the perceived negative effects of worktime, psychological demands of the work, work-family confl ict, and semantic differential scales for measuring the affective and cognitive-evaluative component of job, family, and life satisfaction. This was the fi rst study in Croatia to deal with work-family confl ict among nurses or workers with different shift systems. The results of this study indicate that nurses working morning shifts only experienced less confl ict between work and family than other groups of nurses, who worked the morning, afternoon, and the night shift. The cognitive-evaluative component of job satisfaction was the highest among morning shift nurses and the lowest in nurses who worked 12-hour shifts, while the affective component of life satisfaction was the lowest in nurses working irregular and backward rotated shifts. These results confi rm that shiftwork makes the work-family role confl ict even worse. They also support the view that the type of shift rotation matters. Arh Hig Rada Toksikol 2012;63:189-197 Women and worktime stress Although the number of working women is increasing and attitudes about gender roles are changing, the society still expects women to take responsibility for most childcare and household tasks (1). Research results show that women indeed see themselves as more responsible for the family domain than men (2). This "woman's work" often takes priority over other duties and can not be delayed (3). Studies show that levels of stress hormones such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol remain high in women after the work day is over, women with children in particular (4). Certain types of work schedules can be a signifi cant stressor for a working mother. For example, shift work has been shown to have negative effects on physical health, sleep quality, and mental health (5-7).

“…Results from meta-analysis show that the majority of shift workers favour 8-h shifts over longer shifts [15]. Furthermore, work periods longer that 8 h, or series of shifts also increases the risk of accidents and the risk increases with time [13,16].…”
