Investigations of mood and workload in health care settings have focussed primarily on nurses and junior doctors. Given the critical shortfall in the Australian midwifery workforce, and the specialised nature of midwifery as an occupation, it is important to understand how mood and workload are experienced by midwives. Twenty midwives (18F, 2M) in an Australian metropolitan hospital completed logbooks assessing daily fluctuations in subjective mood and workload. Participants also provided information about history of psychopathology and sleep quality. Results revealed that midwives were relatively stable in terms of mood but did experience increased fear and decreased happiness when at work. Further, workload factors significantly predicted mood at work. Specifically, when participants felt that their work was more demanding and frustrating and required more effort, or when they felt that they could not accomplish all that was expected, mood was negatively influenced. This supports the connection between workload and negative mood change in healthcare. Given the potential for mood to influence a multitude of functions relevant to safety, performance and psychosocial wellbeing it is important to understand the factors which influence mood, particularly in light of the current shortfall in the Australian healthcare workforce.

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to identify quality of sleep and health-promoting behaviors in rotating-shift nurses and to explore the influence of health promoting behaviors on quality of sleep. Method: Participants were 161 staff nurses working in an irregular three shift system in one of three general hospitals located in Kyungpook province. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱand were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results: The majority of the participants had very poor quality of sleep and performed a low level of health promoting behaviors. In terms of health promoting behaviors, nutrition and stress management significantly influenced quality of sleep of these nurses. Conclusion: Results indicate the importance of encouraging rotating-shift nurses to enhance their health promoting behaviors in order to improve quality of sleep.
