Filter by:This study aims to explore the impact of individual workload and fatigue levels on the sleep quality of operating room (OR) nurses, highlighting a critical aspect of healthcare professionals' well-being that directly affects patient safety and care quality. Operating room nurses face unique challenges due to the high-stress, fast-paced environment of surgical settings, which can lead to increased stress levels, emotional challenges, and a higher incidence of fatigue compared to other nursing specialties. Factors contributing to this fatigue include the demanding nature of surgical procedures, the need for constant vigilance, and the irregular hours associated with shift work, all of which can impair sleep quality. The literature review suggests that while the relationship between workload, fatigue, and sleep quality has been extensively studied in general nursing populations, there is a lack of specific focus on operating room nurses. These professionals work under distinct conditions that may exacerbate the effects of workload and fatigue on sleep quality, yet comprehensive studies targeting this group are limited. Understanding the nuances of how workload and fatigue specifically impact the sleep quality of OR nurses is crucial for developing targeted interventions aimed at improving their health and job performance, thereby enhancing patient care and safety. This cross-sectional and correlational study seeks to fill the gap in the literature by examining the specific effects of workload and fatigue on sleep perception among OR nurses. By identifying these relationships, the study aims to contribute valuable insights into strategies for mitigating fatigue and improving sleep among this critical group of healthcare workers, with the ultimate goal of ensuring both nurse well-being and patient safety.
The goal of this observational study is to compare different work schedules in adults above 30 years of age. Shift and rotational work have become increasingly common owing to the demand for 24/7 availability, especially in the province of Newfoundland, where a large cohort of workers are involved in shift working hours. There is an emerging body of evidence linking shift work with adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Short and poor-quality sleep usually results from repeated exposure to shift work, leading to disturbed circadian rhythms and energy balances. The main question this study aims to answer is the effect of shift and rotational work on physical activity, sleep and food choices in adults. Participants are required to do the following: 1. Wearing an actigraphy watch, which is very similar to any other wristwatch, for seven days to objectively record their physical activity and sleep. 2. Participants will be asked to do two 24-hour food recalls using Automated Self-Administered 24-hour (ASA24), a free dietary assessment web-based tool. 3. Fill out a few questionnaires regarding demographics, chronotype (evening or morning preference), work schedule, sleep quality, stress levels, and physical activity levels. This is a field-based observational study collecting data both objectively and subjectively. The target population comprises 15 shift workers, 15 rotational workers and 15 daytime workers. This study will involve two visits to the lab. At the baseline, after taking informed written consent, anthropometric measurements, which include height, weight, and blood pressure, will be taken. Along with that, demographic, work schedule, and chronotype questionnaires will be filled. Participants will be instructed how to use the Actigraphy watch, ASA24, and sleep diary at home. After 7 days, participants will be asked to return to the lab to return the material. Participants will be asked to complete the physical activity, sleep quality and stress questionnaires. This study aims to monitor free-living behaviours in actual shift workers while participants are engaged in real-life work shifts.
The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the acute impact of diet quality modification during night work on 24-hr glucose variability (GV) and heart rate variability (HRV) in healthy free-living employees.
Staggered work affects about 20% of French employees and its health risks are now well known. They concern physical health (sleep disorders, weight gain, cancer, cardiovascular disorders, nutritional problems, etc.) and psychological health. Faced with these "alarming" findings, it is necessary to find ways of improvement and levers of action to prevent them. This project aims to set up and evaluate a nutritional health prevention programme for the benefit of employees in staggered hours from CITEO. CITEO is a company of social mediation. The objectives of the project are twofold: to evaluate the impact of working conditions in shifted schedules on food behavior and on to improve their eating behaviors. How? Focusing on the pleasure of eating through a nutritional prevention program in which various and varied actions will be proposed but always adapted to the life of the company (example: culinary demonstration, physical activity, provision of baskets of Fruits, etc.).
