Sleek disorders among employees in the evening shift in the hospital
A systematic review
Keywords:
sleek disorders, shift work, employeesAbstract
Shift work is an integral part of health care practices. This systematic review focused on identifying all forms of sleep disorders or changes found in employees’ evening shifts. Different reviews have reported the prevalence of sleep changes in shift workers, but this review is the first to specifically synthesize articles describing sleep changes exclusively in evening shifts. Even though the literature states that employees working at night and early morning shifts have more sleep disorders, it is unclear if the evening shift is less impacted. This systematic review has highlighted a lack of research in the field of sleep disorders or changes in workers of evening shifts. However, there were two subthemes that emerged from this review: disruption in circadian rhythms and increasing incidence of illness. Research is required to be conducted in order to further chart out the sleep-related issues.
