Abstract

Satisfaction with irregular working hours was reported by nurses, with 60% response rate from a survey of 144 participants.

  • All work characteristics were linked to satisfaction with irregular working hours.
  • Home characteristics did not show an association with satisfaction levels.
  • Higher social support, lower job demands, and greater job autonomy were connected to increased satisfaction with shiftwork.
  • Job demands and home characteristics like autonomy and home demands were associated with health outcomes.
  • Satisfaction with irregular working hours did not mediate the relationship between work/home characteristics and health.
