| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Japan, many visiting nurses work carrying cell phones to respond to calls from users even at night (on-call work). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether on-call work affected heart rate variability (HRV) before bed and decreased sleep quality in visiting nurses even if their sleep was not interrupted due to actual calls. Thirty-one visiting nurses (mean age, 49.8 years) were asked to record their HRV before bed, and to undergo sleep electroencephalography (EEG) and subjective sleep evaluations, on on-call and non-on-call days. Including HRV parameters, sleep macrostructure variables, and subjective sleep quality scores between on-call and non-on-call days were compared. As a results, there were no differences in HRV measures and objective sleep EEG variables. Adverse effects of on-call work on sleep quality in most visiting nurses are thought to be subjective, and relatively younger nurses tend to notice a decrease in sleep quality.
