“…This agrees with the evidence linking sleep to stress, 37,38,45 fatigue, 36,46 and perceived health. 47,48 Therefore, improving sleep may lead to better perceived health independent of stress and fatigue, possibly through inflammatory 49 and neurobiological 50 pathways.…”

Background: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 4 primary care MetroNet centers in metropolitan Detroit. Our objective was to describe the causal role of fatigue in the relationship among stress, stress resiliency, and perceived health in primary care. Fatigue is a public health problem that has been linked to stress and poor health. The causal role of fatigue between stress and perceived health is unknown.Methods: Four hundred surveys were distributed to adult patients in 4 primary care centers in metropolitan Detroit between 2006 and 2007. Internal consistency reliabilities and principal factor analyses were calculated for the key psychological scales. Perceived health is the primary outcome. Path models were used to study the relationship among stress, fatigue, and perceived health. We also modeled the impact of select stress resiliency factors including sleep, recovery, and social support.

“…It could be suggested that higher indices of chronic fatigue, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion among nurses working for 12-hour shifts are associated with poor general sleep qualities. [58,59] Thus, to improve the circadian rhythm, good sleep habits and a comfortable environment are important to improve the quality of sleep. This could be explained to staff so that they are better able to manage sleep disturbance.…”

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.

“…Sleep problems have been linked to a variety of physical and mental health-related outcomes (Nakata et al, 2000;NHLBIWG, 1999;Edell-Gustafsson, Kritz, & Bogren, 2002). A recent meta-analysis demonstrated relationships between sleep problems and the risk of myocardial infarction as well as coronary heart disease, concluding that the magnitude of these associations rival those of more conventional risk factors (Schwartz, Anderson, Cole, Cornoni-Huntley, Hayes, & Blazer, 1999).…”

“…Poor sleep quality may also affect the functioning of the metabolic and endocrine systems, increasing the likelihood of diabetes and hypertension (Spiegel, Leproult, & Van Cauter, 1999). Individuals reporting sleep problems also indicate lower overall health quality (Kuppermann et al, 1995;Edell-Gustafsson et al, 2002) and greater physical health problems such as muscle pain, headaches, and gastrointestinal problems (Kuppermann et al, 1995). In addition, sleep disorders are a risk factor for the onset of mental health problems, such as depression (Gillin, 1998;Breslau, Roth, Rosenthal, & Andreski, 1996;Chang, Ford, Mead, Cooper-Patrick, & Klag, 1997).…”

Given the associations between poor quality sleep and health, it is important to consider whether job stressors are related to sleep-related outcomes. Studies from Europe and Japan suggest that these stressors negatively impact sleep, but there are few studies of job stressors and sleep quality that draw upon large representative samples of workers in the USA. Using data collected via telephone interviews from a nationally representative random sample of 1,715 American full-time employees, this research considers three dependent variables of past-month poor sleep quality: number of days the respondent had difficulty initiating sleep, number of days of difficulty maintaining sleep, and number of days of non-restorative sleep. Negative binomial regression was used to estimate a count data model of the associations between the frequency of these three types of poor sleep quality and the job stressors of work overload, role conflict, autonomy, and repetitive tasks, while controlling for socio-demographic characteristics. The average American worker reported 5.3 days of difficulty falling asleep, 6.6 days of trouble staying asleep, and 5.0 days of trouble waking up for work in the past month. Across the three types of poor sleep quality, work overload was positively associated with the frequency of poor sleep quality. Role conflict was positively associated with difficulty initiating sleep and non-restorative sleep. Repetitive tasks were associated with more days of difficulty initiating sleep and maintaining sleep. Job autonomy was negatively associated with nonrestorative sleep. Given that sleep quality is associated with other health outcomes, future research should continue to explore the associations between job-related stressors, sleep quality, and workers' health status.
