“…Our results showed the moderate evening type to be the most common among the participants, closely followed by the intermediate type. Recent studies on shift-working nurses with a similar mean age to the participants in the current study showed a similar distribution of chronotypes (Kang et al, 2021;H. Lee & Jang, 2022).…”

PurposeShift‐working nurses must function against their natural circadian system and are, thus, bound to be detrimentally affected by social jetlag. Circadian rhythms play a crucial role in regulating homeostasis, and social jetlag may increase one's risk for obesity. Therefore, this study aimed to identify associations between social jetlag and obesity among shift‐working nurses.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study included 183 nurses working rotating shifts in South Korea. Chronotype and social jetlag were measured using the Morningness‐Eveningness Questionnaire and the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire for Shift‐Workers, respectively. Obesity was defined as a body mass index of 25.0 or higher, which was calculated using self‐reported height and weight data. The associations between chronotype, social jetlag, and obesity were investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis.FindingsA total of 183 nurses were included in the analysis (81.4% women and 80.3% single, median age = 27.00 years). Majority of the participants’ (95.1%) chronotypes were moderate evening or intermediate type. The mean overall social jetlag was 3 h and 31 min. The odds for obesity were 8.44 times higher among shift‐working nurses whose social jetlag was over 3 h and 31 min (95% confidence interval: 1.66–42.99) while controlling for chronotype, exercise time, and eating habits.ConclusionsSocial jetlag may increase the likelihood of obesity among rotating shift‐working nurses.Implications for Nursing PracticeTo achieve positive outcomes for promoting nurses’ health, upper nursing management should consider individual nurses’ social jetlag when scheduling shifts. In addition, nursing managers should have the responsibility to educate nurses involved in shift work about the adverse effects of social jetlag.

“…The ensuing stress of preparing for and performing independent nursing tasks may negatively affect nurses’ health. Although the adjusted model did not show a significant effect of gender and age on depressive symptoms, characteristics such as young female nurses have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of depression [ 51 – 54 ]. In particular, about two-thirds of participates are in young adulthood (aged 20–35), and this period is well known to be strongly connected with later health and key point to overall health status [ 55 , 56 ].…”

The role of sleep quality and perceived stress on depressive symptoms among tertiary hospital nurses: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2023

Background Nurses in tertiary hospitals are at high risk for depression. Understanding sleep quality and perceived stress may contribute to nurses’ mental health and health-related nursing productivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of sleep quality and perceived stress on depressive symptoms among nurses in tertiary hospitals. Methods A total of 2,780 nurses (overall response rate = 91.1%) were recruited through a cross-sectional survey in 23 tertiary hospitals in China. Questionnaires included the Self-Rating Depression Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale. Variables that were significant in Chi-square tests were further entered into binary logistic stepwise regression. Results The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 60.3% (n = 1,676), of which 97.4% (n = 1,633) were female, and 77.8% were younger than 35 years (n = 1,304). Nurses who had moderate, poor, severe sleep quality and poor perceived pressure were more likely to be depressed. Master’s degree, 6–10 years of work, and physical activity were protective factors, while the opposite was the case for shift work and high dissatisfaction. Conclusions More than half of nurses working in tertiary care hospitals reported depressive symptoms, and lower sleep quality and higher perceived stress were more associated with this. Perceived stress is an interesting concept, which may provide a new entry point for the well-known idea that there is a relationship between poor sleep quality and depression. It is possible to reduce depressive symptoms among public hospital nurses by providing information on sleep health and stress relief.
