Abstract

Objective: Rotation work involves travelling to work in remote areas for a block of time and alternate with spending another block of time at home; such work arrangements have become common in the resources sector. The intermittent absence of workers from the home may adversely affect the health of the workers' families. This study synthesises research on mental and physical health outcomes in partners and children of rotation workers in the resources sector.

Design: A systematic review was conducted. Studies were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus. Nineteen studies were included and findings were summarised narratively.

Results: The impact of rotation work on the mental health and well-being of partners and children of rotation workers remains unclear. However, on days where workers are away, partners may experience greater loneliness and poorer sleep quality.

Conclusion: Partners may benefit from support, particularly when they have younger children and/or their spouses first begin rotation work. Research is limited, particularly regarding the impact on health-related behaviours and physical health outcomes.

Registration: This review was registered on PROSPERO (ID: CRD42020167649).

资源部门的轮岗工作：对工人家庭影响的系统审查。

目的：轮岗工作包括在一段时间内前往偏远地区工作，并与另一段时间在家中交替；这种工作安排在资源部门已很普遍。工人间歇性不在家可能对工人家属的健康产生不利影响。本研究综合了关于资源部门轮转工作者的伴侣和子女的身心健康结果的研究。设计：进行系统评价。研究检索自PubMed、Medline、EMBASE、CINAHL、PsycINFO和Scopus。纳入了19项研究，并对研究结果进行了叙述性总结。结果：轮岗工作对轮岗工作者的伴侣和子女的心理健康和福祉的影响尚不清楚。然而，在工作人员不在的日子里，伴侣可能会感到更孤独，睡眠质量也会更差。结论：伴侣可能会从支持中受益，特别是当他们有年幼的孩子和/或他们的配偶首次开始轮岗工作时。研究有限，特别是对与健康有关的行为和身体健康结果的影响。注册：本综述在PROSPERO注册（ID: CRD42020167649）。
