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.

“…One study showed that shift workers, in comparison with daily workers, had a greater amount of work interference with family life (workto-family confl ict), and the amount of interference increased with time (27). However, an impact on family-to-work confl ict can not be excluded.…”

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).

“…Because family situation is expected to affect the level of WFI and also moderate the relationship between working hours and WFI (Albertsen et al 2007, Jansen et al, 2004, we control for family composition and children's age in the regression analyses. In both countries, hospital nurses in household with two adults and children are most common (59.5 per cent in Norway and 53.7 per cent in Finland).…”

“…In addition to high workload, nurses mainly have to work schedules that include shift work and weekend work, which has been reported to increase work-family conflicts substantially (Albertsen et al, 2007:52; Jansen, Kany, Nijhius, Swaen, & Kristensen, 2004). A number of studies have dealt with the question of how the length of working hours affects WFI, and many have found working hours to be associated with conflicts between work and family (Crompton & Lyonette, 2006;Jansen et al, 2004; Tynes et al, 2007:76). However, in most studies, only full-time employees were included.…”

Abstract:The aim of the study is to investigate the level of work-family interference (WFI) for part-time nurses in Norway and Finland. Part-time work is usually cited as a desirable way in which to facilitate work and family harmony. However, the opportunity to work part-time in professions may be associated with greater difficulties and challenges than commonly presumed. Part-time professionals are often stigmatized as being less committed to work and report fewer job rewards than colleagues in full-time positions. This study challenges the notion of the desirable consequences of work hour flexibility concerning the integration of work and family. Part-time nurses in Norway and Finland report an equal level or even higher levels of interference than nurses in full-time positions. A disproportional distribution of inconvenient work schedules appears to be a central explanation for the results reported by Norwegian nurses, but to a lesser degree by Finnish nurses.Keywords: nursing profession, part-time work, inconvenient work schedule, workfamily interference, Nordic countries Academic attention to professionals' part-time work has increased in the past decade, mainly driven by the increased demand for professionals in Western countries (Amble, 2008). The connection between the shortage of personnel and part-time work is clear. Part-time professionals are potential full-time professionals and constitute a major labour resource, particularly in countries with a high proportion of part-time work. However, part-time professionals are often stigmatized as being less committed to work, which can have profound consequences for their status and professional career opportunities (Epstein, Seron, Oglensky, & Saute, 1999). Women's career patterns, involving career breaks and part-time work, are at the root of assumptions about commitment. However, job rewards appear to be an equally relevant factor (Abrahamsen, 2010;Wallace, 1995). Within professions, part-time workers frequently report fewer job rewards and poorer work conditions than do colleagues in full-time positions (Abrahamsen, 2010; Andersen, Køber, & Rønning, 2008:27). Nevertheless, part-time work is usually depicted as positive for women and their work experience and home life. A common reason among women professionals for choosing part-time work is the need to be able to manage multiple life roles, especially those involving a caregiving responsibility (Jamieson, Williams, Lauder, & Dwyer, 2008; Olsen, 2002:59).The aim of this study is to investigate work-family interference (WFI) among Nordic nurses in part-time positions. Previous research has revealed that some nurses find the combination of full-time work and family obligations to be challenging. In addition to high workload, nurses mainly have to work schedules that include shift work and weekend work, which has been reported to increase work-family conflicts substantially (Albertsen et al., 2007:52; Jansen, Kany, Nijhius, Swaen, & Kristensen, 2004). A number of studies have dealt with the question of ho...
