| Research Abstract |
The study aimed to examine possible contributing factors to stress at work among shift-working caregivers and to illuminate an effective strategy for occupational health. Our data suggested that these workers often regard human relationships with others (e.g., coworkers, superiors) as one of the biggest factors to occupational stress. Given that the ability to recognize others' emotions affects the status of human relations in workplaces, this study targeted shift-working caregivers in a dementia ward because skill in that arena is very important. The findings showed that workloads from night work and/or care at the time of death increased sensitivity toward aversive face among other emotional face categories. Besides this, significantly worse quality of sleep and more fatigue were found in the situation. Thus, effective strategies for managing workloads are needed.
