Abstract:
Introduction: Employees working in shifts are exposed to many threats affecting their health, quality of life and safety at work. Those who perform their work only at night are particularly vulnerable. The purpose of the review is to identify risks to the health, quality of life and sleep of shift health workers. Method: A systematic review (SR) was used in the analysis. Electronic databases were searched. The search was limited to the latest studies published in the last five years: 2019-2023. Results: Finally, 36 articles were included in the review. Most authors have shown a link between sleep disturbance or its quality and shift work/night work. Moreover, a three-shift schedule was the most significant factor for poorer subjective sleep quality when compared to other work schedules. Furthermore, many authors have shown a link between shift/night work and health problems, which include cardiometabolic risk, glucose intolerance, breast cancer and immune vulnerability. Conclusions: The research results clearly show a significant impact of night work on the increased risk of sleep disorders and health disturbance. Healthcare workers should be aware of the risks associated with night work in order to take measures preventing sleep/health problems. Shift/night workers should have the opportunity to be screened for disorders linked with their work.
摘要:
简介:轮班员工面临许多影响健康的威胁,生活质量和工作安全。那些只在晚上工作的人特别脆弱。审查的目的是确定对健康的风险,轮班卫生工作者的生活质量和睡眠质量。方法:采用系统评价(SR)进行分析。搜索了电子数据库。搜索仅限于过去五年发表的最新研究:2019-2023。结果:最后,36篇文章被纳入审查。大多数作者已经表明睡眠障碍或其质量与轮班工作/夜间工作之间存在联系。此外,与其他工作时间表相比,三班制时间表是主观睡眠质量较差的最重要因素.此外,许多作者已经证明了轮班/夜班与健康问题之间的联系,其中包括心脏代谢风险,葡萄糖不耐受,乳腺癌和免疫脆弱性。结论:研究结果清楚地表明,夜间工作对睡眠障碍和健康障碍的风险增加有重大影响。医护人员应该意识到与夜班相关的风险,以便采取措施防止睡眠/健康问题。轮班/夜班工人应该有机会接受与工作相关的疾病筛查。
