GONZALEZ ESPINEL, Francisco Javier et al. Emotional and phisical effects after continued night shift by internal medical resident. Med. segur. trab. [online]. 2019, vol.65, n.257, pp.252-260. Epub 22-Mar-2021. ISSN 1989-7790.
Introduction:
Medical Internal Residents perform 17-hour shifts at Spanish hospitals. Such night work causes an alteration of the circadian rhythm that can trigger disturbances in the physical and emotional state.
Objectives:
To know the degree of physical and emotional affectation that the night shifts generate in Medical Residents and the factors that affect this relationship.
Material and methods:
Before and after their 17-hour shift, the randomized participants from a tertiary referral hospital complete a questionnaire with socio-demographic variables and tests validated in their Spanish version: Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory and the subscale of hierarchical support of KARASEK
Results:
Statistical analysis of n = 150 residents of a hospital was carried out. Among the residents who drive after the 17-hour shift, 17.98% suffered a commuting accident. The pleasant experiences were reduced after shifts in a statistically significant difference (p <0.05), compared to the discomforting ones. The highest degree of fatigue after shifts is focused on drowsiness, and to a lesser degree, on a lack of motivation.
Conclusions:
This study supposes a validated estimate of the effects of the continuous work shift of Medical Residents. The results obtained could suggest reconsidering the organization of work given the negative effects for the well-being of future physicians.
