| Research Abstract |
This aims to this study was to assess two patters of rotating shift work (16-h night shifts and 8-h evening/night shifts) with respect to nursing health and nursing service. We conducted a self-reporting questionnaire survey including 14-log books. No differences in the occurrence of near-miss medical error between the two shifts schedules were observed. The results showed similar level of physical and mental fatigue, and sleep quality between the work-related programs in 16-h night shifts nurses and in 8-h night shifts nurses. However, daytime sleepiness was stronger in the 16-h shift group than in the 8-h shift group. Our study suggests that the work-related problems in 16-h night shifts nurses may not be excessively greater than those in 8-h evening / night shifts nurses.
