Abstract

Background

Shift workers are recognized to experience circadian rhythm disturbances, metabolic risks, and oxidative stress, increasing their susceptibility to numerous diseases. This study compared day and rotating shift nurses' metabolic, oxidative, and psychological profiles.

Methods

A random sample of 212 eligible employees from a tertiary care hospital at Hamad Medical Corporation in Doha, Qatar, were assessed for anthropometric and laboratory parameters related to metabolic risk, oxidative stress and psychological impact.

Results

Descriptive and inferential statistics (alpha = 0.05) were applied in this study. Unlike previous investigations, our study demonstrated no statistically significant correlation between changed metabolic, oxidative, and psychological profiles among nurses working day shifts compared to rotating shifts. Although abdominal obesity was slightly more prevalent among rotational workers (68.7 % vs. 63.3 %), this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.457). Our analysis revealed that RANTES and IL9 were expressed in higher amounts amongst rotational shift duty workers.

Conclusion

The study results imply that, even if not much changes were observed in metabolic and psychological differences, rotating shift workers' immunological changes might have been influenced by disruptions in their circadian rhythms. Prolonged monitoring and interventions are advised to mitigate the health hazards linked to shift work.

在卡塔尔多哈工作的护士样本中，代谢风险、氧化应激和心理参数之间的关系

轮班工作者被认为会经历昼夜节律紊乱、代谢风险和氧化应激，增加了他们对许多疾病的易感性。本研究比较了白班护士和轮班护士的代谢、氧化和心理特征。方法随机抽取卡塔尔多哈哈马德医疗公司三级医院的212名符合条件的员工，对其代谢风险、氧化应激和心理影响相关的人体测量和实验室参数进行评估。结果本研究采用描述统计和推理统计（alpha = 0.05）。与之前的调查不同，我们的研究表明，与轮班相比，白班护士的代谢、氧化和心理特征的变化没有统计学上的显著相关性。虽然腹部肥胖在轮岗工人中更为普遍（68.7%比63.3%），但这种差异没有统计学意义（p = 0.457）。我们的分析显示，RANTES和IL9在轮班工人中表达的量更高。结论研究结果表明，即使轮班工人的代谢和心理差异没有太大变化，但他们的昼夜节律紊乱可能会影响他们的免疫变化。建议进行长期监测和干预，以减轻与轮班工作有关的健康危害。
