How fixed and rotating work shifts affect nurses' attention levels: a randomized trial
AI simplified
Abstract
Night-shift nursing staff made 0.44 times more errors in selective attention compared to day-shift workers.
- Significant differences in selective attention were observed between fixed-day-shift and rotating-shift nursing staff.
- Night-shift workers had a higher percentage of errors and lower scores in concentration performance compared to day-shift workers.
- The total items scanned minus errors for night-shift workers was 38.99 items less than for day-shift workers.
- A recommendation of more than 2 days off is suggested for better adjustment of circadian rhythms when shifting from night to other shifts.
