Shift Work Schedule

More and more medical staff is involved in work in a continuous mode, and therefore the study of their health problems becomes more and more relevant and practically significant. In the article, we summarized domestic and foreign data of the problem of sleep disorders in employees with shift work, gave modern approaches to the classification and diagnosis of insomnia. We have described the adverse physiological effects of the daily and night schedule on the body of medical staff. Analyzing the literary sources, we came to the conclusion that the state of health and the violation of circadian rhythms due to the shift work schedule are directly related. To date, there is no undisputed curative and preventive doctrine of insomnia. Scheduling nursing staff according to circadian rhythms, maximizing schedule stability and adhering to a healthy lifestyle can minimize most of the problems caused by shift work.

Night Shifts

Circadian rhythms may be disrupted when shift workers rotate from one work schedule to another. It has been suggested that in order to minimize the time needed to readjust circadian rhythms to a new work schedule the work time of shift workers should be rotated in a delaying rather than an advancing direction. However, delaying or advancing the work time does not imply that the sleep-wake cycle is also shifted in a similar manner. Indeed, after a complete rotation between the day, evening, and night shifts the sleep time will be advanced once, delayed once, and not shifted once, regardless of whether the workers are on a delaying or an advancing work rotation schedule. Thus circadian rhythms are likely to be perturbed in a similar manner whether the work schedule is rotated in a delaying or an advancing direction.

Increased Risk

Abstract Background A significant percentage of the population is working on shift work and according to several studies this type of work schedule has been associated with an increased risk of developing some pathologies, such as obesity, which are one of the biggest mortality causes in the world. To understand if the shift work has a negative influence on the workers' diet and if it affects the Body Mass Index. Methods Observational and cross-sectional research was conducted, through an online survey designed for this purpose, including fruit and vegetables consumption, sociodemographic characteristics, shift work schedule, sleep hours and reported values of weight and height. The study was ethical approval and statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics software. A critical significance level of 5% was considered. Results 145 workers were evaluated with an average age of 35.90 ± 10.92 years and an average Body Mass Index of 25.12 ± 4.54 kg/m2, 76.6% were female. 51.7% of the individuals worked on shift work. Body Mass Index of shift workers is higher than Body Mass Index day shift workers (P = 0.001), and they sleep, on average, less hours than day workers. No differences was observed related to fruit and vegetables consumptions. Shift workers reported to have higher difficult to management food intake when compared with day workers (P < 0.001). Conclusions Shift work seems to have a negative influence on the workers' sleep and in Body Mass Index. This study is important to develop, in the future, individualized strategies, for these workers

A shift work schedule is extremely important to obtain the optimum result of work allocation since it involves 24 hours of continuous services. Every nurse could not avoid shift work schedule since their services are very important towards the patients in the hospital. The major objective of the study is to propose a cyclical nurse scheduling in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at Shah Alam hospital using Goal Programming. It is to help the head nurse to spend less effort on building new schedules periodically and increase the satisfaction among nurses by providing fairness towards their schedules. There were nine hard constraints and three soft constraints for the nurse scheduling model. The results presented the optimal solution where all goals were achieved thus, it provided a fair schedule for 15 nurses in 15 days. Then, the schedule pattern was rotated among nurses based on the 15 schedules set in 225 days. The first schedule set will be used by the nurse for the first 15 days, then will be continuously rotated for another 15 days until all the nurses reached and experienced every 15 sets of the schedule. The schedule was generated using LINGO software which it took a short time to solve the problem.
