CASTILLO-GUERRA, Belinda; GUIANCE-GOMEZ, Lidia María; MENDEZ-PEREZ, Cristina e PEREZ-AGUILERA, Antonio Francisco. Impact of shift work on the sleep quality of nursing staff attending two tertiary hospitals in the Canary Island. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2022, vol.68, n.267, pp.105-117. Epub 20-Fev-2023.

Background:
It is known that the characteristics of work activity influence the sleep quality of workers. An element of work activity is turnicity. The aim of this study was to analyze the sleep quality of the nursing staff of two third-level hospitals in the Canary Islands and its correlation with shift work.
Methods:
Observational, analytical and cross-sectional study, of a non-random sample of 275 nurses and auxiliary nursing care technicians (T.C.A.E.). Sleep quality was measured using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) test and sociodemographic and occupational characteristics with a questionnaire created ad hoc.
Results:
65.8% of nursing staff has poor sleep quality. It was observed that turnicity affects sleep quality. Workers with anti-stress shift (D/N) have better sleep quality (M=7.31; ±SD=4.0) compared to a rotating shift (M/A/N) (M=9.06; ±SD =4.3); p=0.01.
Conclusions:
Sleep disturbance is common among nursing staff, being anti-stress shift (D/N) the one that least affects sleep quality.
