A longitudinal study of rotating shift type and attention performance of acute and critical care nurses with chronotype as moderator variable
How different rotating shift schedules relate to attention in acute and critical care nurses, considering their natural sleep patterns
AI simplified
Abstract
The mean reaction time of late working the night shift was 11.31 ms slower compared to when they worked the day shift.
- An interaction effect between chronotype and shift type was significant only for late-types on night shifts compared to early- and intermediate-types.
- The analysis controlled for age, gender, and sleep duration.
- Matching nurses' chronotype with appropriate shift types may influence their attention performance in acute and critical care units.
