AI simplified
Abstract
A total of 749 Norwegian nurses participated in the study, with no significant differences in shift work tolerance between those with less than 1 year and those with more than 6 years of night shift experience.
- Young age is associated with higher shift work tolerance.
- Hardiness is positively related to shift work tolerance in both novice and experienced night shift nurses.
- For new night shift nurses, a tendency to feel more alert in the morning correlates with better shift work tolerance.
- Experienced night shift nurses display lower tolerance when facing higher weekly work hours and increased caffeine consumption, while flexibility in their schedules is positively associated with tolerance.
