“…Many studies have elucidated the association between shift work and health (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22), and shift work is considered detrimental to health. Shift work has been associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction, coronary events, ischemic stroke (17), gastrointestinal symptoms, gastric ulcers (18), and metabolic syndrome (19).…”

This is the first systematic review examining the association between long working hours and health after excluding differences in the definition of long working hours and the influence of shift work. We concluded that long working hours are associated with depression, anxiety, sleep, and coronary heart disease. Further studies dealing with long working hours and shift work appropriately are needed.

“…Limits which are sometimes organisationally imposed on coffee consumption cause workers' dissatisfaction together with a related stress, as well as demotivation and a sensation of excessive fatigue in workers. Studies confirm that the incidence of diseases of the digestive system is several times greater in workers working on night shifts than in the rest of the staff [14,21,27,32,35,36]. This is associated with the impaired intestinal peristalsis and the irregular secretion of digestive juices.…”

“…15-20% of the working population performs shift work, which includes night shifts [12]. The situation worldwide in the industrialised countries is estimated to be similar -almost 20% of workers perform tasks on rotational shifts, and in the United States alone more than 6 million people work in this way [13][14]. This type of employment applies mostly to sectors, such as healthcare, manufacturing, mining, transportation, communications and hospitality [12].…”

The Model of Changes in the Psychomotor Performance of the Production Workers

et al. 2018

Abstract:The results of the study indicated a relationship between the worker's psychomotor performance at a certain time of the work shift and the changes in the level of their fatigue. The performance is reflected in the production results, such as the decrease in the productivity and an increase in the number of defects. The results of the study made it possible to define a model (algorithm) of changes in the worker's psychomotor performance. The developed model identifies the direction of the organisational changes in a production plant environment operating in the rotational shift pattern. The organisational changes can relieve staff in the night and minimise the risk of the declining production efficiency during work at night.

“…In the short term, shift workers suffer from insomnia and/or excessive sleepiness, performance decrements, and mood swings (Boudreau et al, 2013;Drake et al, 2004;Rajaratnam et al, 2013). In the long term, workers may develop shift work disorder and a variety of other physical and mental health-related problems (Roth, 2012;Wright et al, 2013). Higher incidence rates of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, mood disorders, and cancer among shift workers have been well documented (Puttonen et al, 2010;Vogel et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2011).…”

The aim of this longitudinal study on novice police officers was to investigate inter-individual differences in sleep response to shift work, and to identify potential baseline predictors thereof. A total of 42 subjects were assessed at baseline, prior to commencing shift work. They were re-assessed during three follow-up sessions within the first 2 years of shift work exposure after approximately 4, 12, and 20 months of rotating shift work. Wrist actigraphy and sleep logs were used to investigate nocturnal sleep at baseline and daytime sleep after night shifts during the follow-up sessions. Actigraphically estimated total sleep time and subjective sleep quality were analyzed as outcome variables, using mixed-effects analysis of variance. Systematic inter-individual differences were observed in the overall response of these outcome variables to shift work. In this sample, flexibility of sleeping habits and gender were found to be predictors of daytime total sleep time in the first 2 years of shift work exposure. Flexibility of sleeping habits and subjective quality of nighttime sleep prior to shift work were found to be predictors of subjective quality of daytime sleep. These results suggest that it may be possible to detect and even predict sleep deficiencies in response to shift work early on, which could be a basis for the development of individualized interventions to improve shift work tolerance.
