AI simplified

Abstract

Nurses who nap between 2.1 and 3 hours during night shifts have a 79% higher chance of achieving a high level of recovery after work compared to those who do not nap.

  • The study involved 1940 nurses from 18 public hospitals in Rio de Janeiro.
  • Nurses who sleep up to two hours, between 2.1 and 3 hours, and over 3.1 hours during night shifts showed increased chances of recovery after work.
  • Only the group sleeping 2.1 to 3 hours maintained a significant association with higher recovery levels after adjusting for confounding factors.
  • The odds ratio for the 2.1 to 3 hours group was 1.79, indicating a stronger association with recovery after work.
