“…Shift work is defined as work that is performed intermittently and at different times, without a fixed schedule (2) , it is related to the stress characteristic of this condition and the resulting physiological responses, such as activation of the neuroendocrine reaction of stress by the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal axis and glucocorticoid secretion, and of the autonomic reaction with the release of catecholamines. Prolonged and repeated release of these primary stress mediators with action on different target organs can trigger changes in blood pressure, heart rate, thrombotic and immune response processes, lipid and glucose metabolism, and central nervous system functioning (3) , increasing the risk of becoming ill.…”

Objective: To analyze the influence of shift work on blood pressure, the presence of burnout and common mental disorders in nursing professionals. Method: A cross-sectional study. Burnout was assessed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Common Mental Disorders by the Self-Reporting Questionnaire. Casual blood pressure measurement and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) were performed. Results: 231 professionals participated. The majority (59.7%) worked in shifts, and this condition was associated (p≤0.05) with: higher weekly workload; doing the night shift; shorter training and work time at the institution; alcoholism; leisure activity; and alteration in ambulatory blood pressure monitoring of the sleep period. The professionals with common mental disorders and who worked in shifts had lower casual diastolic pressure levels (p = 0.039) and higher hypertension prevalence (p = 0.045). The presence of emotional exhaustion was associated with normal waking blood pressure and depersonalization with altered sleep blood pressure. Conclusion: Shift work was associated with a higher prevalence of work-related negative factors, inadequate habits and lifestyles, and change in sleep blood pressure.

“…Dessa forma, o reflexo do mal estar mental no cotidiano passa por todos os trâmites da vida (SÃO PAULO, 2014). Somado a esse pensamento, os trabalhos intermitentes e sem escalas fixas, têm contribuído para o aumento dos fatores estressores que provocam a liberação prolongada e constante dos mediadores primários de estresses que resultam em diferentes ações nos órgãosalvo, desencadeando alterações nos níveis pressóricos, assim como na resposta de defesa do organismo, favorecendo o risco para o adoecimento (VICENTE-HERRERO et al, 2016). Através de um estudo feito por Kim et al (2021) ao decorrer desta pandemia, a maior parte dos enfermeiros (80%) relatou estresse em níveis de moderado a alto, enquanto os demais (20%) não apresentaram queixas para o adoecimento.…”

RESUMOApós os primeiros casos da COVID-19, na cidade de Wuhan, na China, e com o decorrer da evolução global da doença, houve impacto significativo na qualidade de vida e trabalho dos profissionais da enfermagem no Brasil e no mundo. Este estudo objetiva identificar os fatores que contribuem para a ocorrência dos sintomas preditores de sofrimento mental nos profissionais de enfermagem durante a pandemia por COVID-19, adotando como metodologia a revisão integrativa de literatura, utilizando apenas artigos originais e na íntegra, que foram recuperadas nas bases de dados: MEDLINE, LILACS e BDENF entre os meses de maio e junho de 2021, utilizando os descritores: "saúde-mental", "COVID-19" e "enfermagem", que responderam a questão norteadora: "Quais são os fatores que contribuem para ocorrência dos sintomas preditores de sofrimento mental nos profissionais de enfermagem durante a pandemia por COVID-19?". Foram localizados 278 artigos, após a utilização dos filtros restaram 255 periódicos completos e disponíveis na íntegra. Sendo: 174 da MEDLINE, 54 da LILACS e 27 da BDENF. Após a leitura dos títulos, foram selecionados 57 artigos, onde após a leitura dos resumos foram desconsiderados 43, pois se tratavam de artigos de revisão de literatura (11), apresentavam outros métodos (02) ou não respondiam à questão norteadora e não abordavam o tema central (30). Logo, a amostra foi constituída por 14 artigos. Após a leitura na íntegra, análises, interpretações e apresentações sob a forma de texto e quadro através de uma avaliação da síntese e considerações de cada estudo selecionado e organizados contendo suas principais informações, objetivando-se captar as evidências

“…Especially in the organizational context, night shift work has been linked to various negative outcomes such as workplace accidents and errors (Åkerstedt et al, 2002;Gold et al, 1992), reduced operational performance (Waggoner et al, 2012), turnover intentions (Lee et al, 2015), and absenteeism (Costa et al, 1990;Shen & Dicker, 2008). Additionally, previous research on occupational health also highlights the disruptive role of such shifts on employee health as well as social wellbeing (Price, 2011;Vicente-Herrero et al, 2016). Having all these issues still, the night shift remains highly necessary and in a managerial perspective it remains challenging to motivate employees to perform well during such symptomatically labeled "graveyard shift.…”

The main purpose of this research is to examine the role of psychological resources in predicting the engagement of night shift employees. Specifically, it tests how resources like supportive organizational climate, family support, and self-efficacy could help employees stay engaged during night shift work. Additionally, this study explores the mediating role of positive affect and ego-resilience. The cross-sectional data collected from night shift employees ( n = 208) working full-time in Canada, the UK, and the US were collected over a period of 3 months. Results of the statistical analysis confirm the significant direct role of self-efficacy and supportive organizational climate in predicting employee engagement. Furthermore, the indirect role of such resources through the mediation of positive affect and ego-resilience was also found. The impact of family support on employee engagement appears significant only through mediators. The current study extends the existing understanding about the role of psychological resources in determining the engagement of night shift employees. It further adds to the literature by explaining mechanisms using positive affect and ego-resilience as mediators.
