Abstract

The ever-demanding job of nurses necessitates night shift work for 12 hours at various healthcare facilities to improve continuity of care. Working at night is associated with physical and mental stress as it disturbs circadian rhythm, affects sleep, influences dietary and eating routine, and impairs cognitive function. Nursing is a high-demand profession that requires working for longer hours, due to which, nurses are at increased risk of occupational fatigue. This occupational fatigue involves various components of one's life including poor physical performance, poor mental health, impaired cognition, and sensory overload on account of high work demand but low energy restoration. The current scope review aimed to assess the effect of night shift and occupational fatigue on nurses who work 12 hours. A systemic search of PubMed, EBSCO, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar was conducted. A total of 245 full-text articles underwent eligibility evaluation. In the end, 17 full-text articles were included in this scoping review. This scoping review found that there is a significance positive association of occupational fatigue with 12 hours nightshift work and that chronic fatigue leads to negative emotions, lack of concentration, and decreased motivation and subsequent reduced physical performance. In addition, nurses' 12 hours nightshift work results in psychological, physical issues including anxiety, depression, burnout, exhaustion, and professional performance as well as affects nurses' social and quality of life. Therefore, policymakers need to work on circadian rhythm-based interventions considering the work duration, speed of shift change, number of consecutive shifts, and social support.

吉达工作12小时的护士的夜班和职业疲劳。
护士的工作要求越来越高,需要在各种医疗机构夜班工作12小时,以提高护理的连续性。夜间工作与身体和精神压力有关,因为它扰乱了昼夜节律,影响睡眠,影响饮食和饮食习惯,并损害认知功能。护理是一个高要求的职业,需要长时间工作,因此,护士面临职业疲劳的风险增加。这种职业疲劳涉及生活的各个方面,包括身体表现不佳、心理健康状况不佳、认知受损以及由于高工作要求而低能量恢复而导致的感觉过载。本研究旨在评估夜班和职业疲劳对工作12小时的护士的影响。系统检索PubMed、EBSCO、CINAHL、MEDLINE和谷歌Scholar。共有245篇全文文章进行了资格评估。最终,17篇全文文章被纳入本次范围综述。本综述发现,12小时夜班工作与职业疲劳存在显著的正相关关系,慢性疲劳会导致负面情绪、注意力不集中、动力下降和随后的身体表现下降。此外,护士12小时的夜班工作导致焦虑、抑郁、倦怠、疲惫等心理和身体问题,影响护士的社交和生活质量。因此,政策制定者需要考虑到工作时间、换班速度、连续轮班次数和社会支持,制定基于昼夜节律的干预措施。
