Abstract

Background and Aims

Night-shift work disturbs sleep and is associated with poor health conditions among workers. We aimed to investigate the association between night-shift work and gambling among workers and the association between night-shift work and problem gambling in working and gambling participants.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used data from an online survey conducted between February 6 and 27, 2023 in Japan. A total of 21,134 workers participated in this study, including 9,739 respondents who had gambled in the past year. We estimated the association between night-shift work and gambling among workers and the association between night-shift work and problem gambling among those who gambled at the survey. We defined problem gambling as a score ≥ 8 on the Problem Gambling Severity Index. All estimates were weighted using a nationally representative survey in Japan. We fitted multivariable weighted logistic regression models after adjusting for 14 confounders.

Results

The weighted prevalence of gambling among non-night and night-shift workers was 42.1 % and 55.4 %, respectively. When focusing on workers gambling in the survey, the prevalence of problem gambling among non-night and night-shift workers was 8.8 % and 24.2 %, respectively. The weighted multivariable logistic regression analyses showed that night-shift work was associated with gambling participation among workers (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.39, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.25–1.53, p < 0.001). In addition, night-shift work was associated with problem gambling among those who gambled (aOR 1.94, 95 % CI 1.57–2.40, p < 0.001).

Conclusions

Night-shift work was associated with gambling among workers and with problem gambling among those who gambled.

日本工人夜班工作与赌博和问题赌博的关系：一项全国性横断面研究

背景和目的夜班工作会干扰睡眠，并与工人的不良健康状况有关。我们旨在调查夜班工作与工人赌博之间的关联，以及夜班工作与工作和赌博参与者中的问题赌博之间的关联。方法这项横断面研究使用了 2023 年 2 月 6 日至 27 日在日本进行的在线调查数据。共有 21,134 名工人参与了这项研究，其中 9,739 名受访者在过去一年中参与过赌博。我们估算了夜班工作与工人赌博之间的关系，以及夜班工作与调查中赌博者的问题赌博之间的关系。我们将问题赌博定义为问题赌博严重程度指数得分≥8。所有估计值均采用日本一项具有全国代表性的调查进行加权。结果非夜班工人和夜班工人的加权赌博率分别为 42.1 % 和 55.4 %。如果将调查重点放在参与赌博的工人身上，非夜班工人和夜班工人的问题赌博率分别为8.8%和24.2%。加权多变量逻辑回归分析表明，夜班工作与工人参与赌博有关（调整后的几率比[aOR]，1.39，95%置信区间[CI]1.25-1.53，p <0.001）。此外，夜班工作与赌博者中的问题赌博相关（aOR 1.94，95 % CI 1.57-2.40，p <0.001）。

期刊介绍： Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings. Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
