Outcomes included fertility (<i>n</i> = 5), irregular menstrual cycle (<i>n</i> = 1), early menopause (<i>n</i> = 1), endometriosis (<i>n</i> = 1), and serum hormones (<i>n</i> = 1). Study findings included that women with high job demands and low job control were less likely to conceive, and working over 40 h per week and frequent heavy lifting, and rotating night shift work increased the risk of earlier menopause. Studies on night shift/rotating work and fertility outcomes showed no significant differences.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This review underscores the insufficient high-level evidence regarding the association of psychosocial factors at work with fertility and menstrual disorders, emphasizing the necessity for future well-designed studies.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50265,"journal":{"name":"Japan Journal of Nursing Science","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jjns.12624","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142447710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
