目的对与卫生服务人员管理相关的轮班工作研究进行文献综述。在国民保健服务中,某些领域,例如住院服务,一直有必要提供24小时服务,因此轮班工作一直是该组织的一个非常重要的特点。有许多轶事证据表明,工作人员由于工作的轮班模式而遭受不利的身体、心理和社会问题。方法:文献综述包括引用证据的研究,这些证据表明轮班和轮班的不同长度是否有益,特别是与昼夜节律有关。文献综述强调了轮班工作的后果,因为它会影响睡眠、饮食和社交模式,以及身心健康。发现有一些补偿行为可以帮助员工更好地应对轮班,并对这些行为的研究基础进行了回顾。结论本文最后提出了一些建议,以供负责完成卫生服务轮岗的护理管理人员决策时参考。
Aim To compile a literature review of studies on shift work which have relevance to the management of health services personnel. Background In the National Health Service it has always been necessary for certain areas, for example, in-patient services, to provide 24-hour service and hence shift work has been very much a feature of the organization. There is much anecdotal evidence of staff suffering from adverse physical, psychological and social problems that are attributed to the shift patterns they work in. Method The literature review includes studies which cite evidence of the benefits or not for the differing lengths of shifts and shift rotation, particularly in relation to circadian rhythms. The literature reviewed highlighted the consequences of shift work as it affects sleep, eating and social patterns, and physical and mental health. Findings There are some compensatory behaviours to help staff better cope with working shifts and the research base for these is reviewed. Conclusions The paper concludes with recommendations to inform decision-making by nurse managers responsible for the completion of duty rotas in health service provision.
