Psychological Symptom Patterns in Night Shift WorkersKowalski, Justin 01 May 2015 (has links)
The negative physical effects of night shift work are well understood. Research into psychological problems associated with night shift work, however, is sparse. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference in psychological symptom patterns between day and night shift workers. Data were obtained on 121 undergraduate volunteers. The sample consisted of 39 male and 82 female volunteers between the ages of 18 and 58 years. All participants were organized into two shift types: Day and Night. Day (n = 65) was classified as working hours primarily in the daytime (7 AM – 5PM). Night (n = 56) was classified as working hours primarily in the nighttime (6 PM – 6 AM). A two-way between-subjects MANOVA was used to assess the influence of gender and shift on the nine SCL-90-R subscale T-scores. The gender main effect was not significant, F(9, 109) = .668, p = .736. No significant difference in SCL-90-R subscale scores as a function of shift was observed, F(9, 109) = 1.141, p = .34. The gender x shift interaction was not significant, F(9, 109) = 1.308, p = .241. Results showed no significant difference between day and night shift worker distress levels. Further research into this topic is recommended.

Matval vid nattjobb : Skiftarbetare inom verkstadsindustrins upplevelser av vad som påverkar deras matval under skiftarbetet.Kilström, Matilda January 2016 (has links)
The life of work has undergone major changes. Globalization and liberalization is contributing to the fact that many companies often require flexibility regarding ability to work around the clock when they are hiring new staff. The fact that the health is poorer among evening and night shift workers compared to daytime workers is widely documented. The conditions for evening and night shift workers to maintain healthy habits are not considered to be good. The aim of the study was to investigate shift workers in the engineering industry’s experiences of what influences their food choices during the work shift. The study was based on a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Semi- structured interviews were used for collection of data. The result showed three main themes which affect the shift workers food choice. Within the themes were three factors identified: the conditions of the workplace, the ambition of balance between work and leisure and also physical and mental wellbeing. The result is not transferable to all shift workers, but the experiences that have emerged in the study are valuable to take into consideration in new sociological studies about food choice within the engineering industry. The individual at the workplace have a major responsibility for their food choice even though the design of the workplace has proven to be one of the major factors of influencing the food choice during working hours. Therefore should higher requirements be imposed on employers when it comes to health promotion linked to eating habits and the abilityof workers to make healthy food choices during work hours. / Arbetslivet har genomgått stora förändringar. Globalisering och avreglering bidrar till att företag ofta kräver arbetstidsmässig flexibilitet hos personal när de anställer. Att hälsan är sämre bland de skiftarbetare vilka arbetar kvälls- eller nattskift jämfört med dagtidsarbetare är vida dokumenterat. Kvälls- och nattskiftsarbetarnas förutsättningar till hälsosamma vanor anses inte vara goda. Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka skiftarbetare inom verkstadsindustrins upplevelser av vad som påverkar deras matval under skiftarbetet. Studien utgick från en kvalitativ metod med fenomenologisk inriktning. Semi- strukturerade intervjuer användes som datainsamlingsmetod. Resultatet visade på tre övergripande teman som berör skiftarbetares matval. Ur dessa teman plockades tre faktorer fram: arbetsplatsens förutsättningar, strävan efter balans mellan arbete och fritid samt fysiskt och psykiskt välmående. Resultatet är inte överförbart på alla skiftarbetare men upplevelserna vilka framkommit i studien är värdefulla att ta i beaktning i nya sociologiska studier kring matval inom verkstadsindustrin. Individen på arbetsplatsen har ett stort eget ansvar för sina matval trots att en av de största påverkansfaktorerna för matvalet visat sig vara arbetsplatsens utformning. Därför bör högre krav ställas på arbetsgivare när det kommer till hälsofrämjande arbete kopplat till matvanor och möjligheten för arbetstagare att göra hälsosamma matval under arbetstid.

Previous issue date: 2010-05-14 / This study refers to the Quality of Life of the Night Shift Workers and the relationships
between the sleep, the Day of rest and their Professional Performance, which was
guided by the objective: to investigate whether the change in the circadian rhythm
(sleeping during the day and working at night) prevents the protective factors of labor
activity from fulfilling their function. In order to collect the data, the following
resources were used: socio-demographic and working conditions questionnaire;
questionnaire on sleep conditions of the workers; questionnaire on the day of rest;
range of quality of life (WHOQOL-Bref) and Index of Work Ability (IWA). The sociodemographic
profile of the participants was, in its majority, characterized by male
young adults (20 to 39 years old), married, with education equivalent to high school,
most of them have children, who have been working at night for up to 8 years, the
day of rest /leisure is not Saturday nor Sunday, they tend to sleep around 5, 8 and
after 8 o’clock, they wake up around 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., with up to 6 hours of sleep.
The perceive their Quality of Life as being good, as well as their health, they have a
minimal differentiation between the four domains of QOL, where the psychological
domain had a slight advantage among the others, the Index of Work Ability is good,
with a correlation between the quality of life and work ability, the best IWA was the
one presented by those who sleep earlier, wake up after 5 p.m. and have more than
nine hours of sleep. There is no difference between the genders in terms of IWA and
QOL, the single ones with children have the IWA category better than the married
ones with children, but the married ones with children present a better QOL than the
single ones with children. From correlations and organization by the similarities, 3
groups were formed: core 1, “Where is me?”, formed by workers 84 male (40 to 49
years) married, that lived with family which constituted with high school and worked
at night for a period greater than 8 years; core 2 “Declining ones” formed by 39
young adults (30 to 39 years), married, that lived with the families that formed. Had
minor children (up to 9 years). With high school and worked at night for a period of
between three and eight years and core 3: “I do not care … I m Cool-headed”,
formed by 72 young people (20-29 years), unmarried, still lived with their parents.
With school, and were working at night only two years ago. The issue imposed by
society that the more you work, the better you are, in general, makes people prioritize
their career rather than many aspects, such as family, social activities, health and
leisure. We face as essential need the advance towards a broader understanding of
the leisure, considering its relations with the world of work / Este estudo refere-se à Qualidade de Vida do Trabalhador noturno e as relações do
sono e do dia de descanso com o seu desempenho profissional, norteado pelo
objetivo: investigar se a alteração do ciclo circadiano (dormir de dia e trabalhar à
noite) impede que os fatores de proteção da atividade laboral cumpram sua função.
Para a coleta dos dados, utilizou-se: questionário sociodemográfico e condições de
trabalho; questionário sobre as condições do sono do trabalhador; questionário
sobre o dia de descanso; escala de qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-Bref) e Índice de
Capacidade para o Trabalho (ICT). O perfil sociodemográfico dos participantes
caracterizou-se por uma maioria de adultos jovens masculinos (20 a 39 anos),
casados, com escolaridade equivalente ao Ensino Médio, com filhos, tempo de
trabalho no período noturno de até oito anos; o dia de descanso/lazer diferia do
sábado e domingo, costumavam dormir entre 5h00 e 8h00 e após as 8h00,
acordavam entre 13h00 e 17h00, tinham até seis horas de sono. Percebiam sua
Qualidade de Vida e saúde como boa, tinham uma diferenciação mínima entre os
quatro domínios da QV, cujo domínio psicológico teve uma pequena vantagem entre
os demais. O ICT foi bom, havendo uma relação entre a qualidade de vida e a
capacidade para o trabalho. O ICT melhor foi o apresentado por aqueles que
dormiam mais cedo, acordavam após as 17h00 e tinham mais de nove horas de
sono. Não houve diferença entre os gêneros nos quesitos ICT e QV. Os solteiros
com filhos apresentaram a categoria ICT melhor que os casados com filhos, porém,
os casados com filhos tinham QV melhor que solteiros com filhos. A partir de
correlações e organização por similaridades obteve-se três agrupamentos: Núcleo
1: “Cadê eu?”, formado por 84 sujeitos masculinos (40 a 49 anos), casados, que
moravam com a família que constituíram. Tinham o Ensino Médio e trabalhavam no
período noturno por um período maior que 8 anos. Núcleo 2: “Decadentes”,
formado por 39 adultos jovens (30 a 39 anos), casados, que moravam com as
famílias que constituíram. Tinham filhos menores (até 9 anos), possuíam Ensino
Médio e trabalhavam no período noturno por um período entre três e oito anos.
Núcleo 3: “Tô nem aí... Tô tranquilo”, formado por 72 jovens (20 a 29 anos),
solteiros, que ainda moravam com seus pais. Tinham o Ensino Médio e estavam no
trabalho noturno somente há dois anos. A questão imposta pela sociedade de que
quanto mais você trabalha, melhor você é, em geral, faz com que as pessoas
acabem por priorizar a carreira em relação a vários aspectos como a família, as
atividades sociais, a saúde e o lazer. Encaramos como necessidade essencial o
avanço no sentido de um entendimento mais amplo sobre o lazer considerando suas
relações com o mundo do trabalho
