Abstract

Nurses in tertiary care hospital has to work in rotating shift work to provide 24 service to patients. As duty time is constantly changing it affects their circadian rhythm. This can affect sleep duration & quality, cognition leads to fatigue, depression & work time errors.

Aim & Objectives

This study was carried out to observe effect of rotating shift work (RSW) on quality & duration of their sleep.

Material & Method

Based on rotating shift experience female nurses were divided into three groups-group I (less than 1 year), group II (1 to 5 years) and group III (6 to 10 years). Each group consists of 130 nurses. Sleep quality was assessed by using Pittsburgh sleep quality index. Analysis of data was done by using ANOVA.

Results

PSQI all component score & PSQI Global score was increases as experience of RSW increases which was highly statistically significant.

Conclusion

Nurses working in rotating shifts for long duration were having less sleep duration & poor sleep quality.
