本研究的目的是为初级卫生保健轮班工作的护士设计人机工程学改进的轮班制度，以提高他们的健康和幸福感。所做的主要改变是减少了快速返回(即，晚班后不再立即上早班)，以确保轮班之间有更多的恢复时间。6家市属医院单位参加了干预。我们的目标是保持或提高老年工人的福祉和工作能力。受试者(n=75)分为三个年龄组：20-40岁、41-52岁和53-62岁。在晚班和早班之间引入更多的恢复时间显著改善了受试者的睡眠和警觉性、工作幸福感、感觉到的健康以及独立于年龄的休闲时间活动。对社会和家庭生活的影响也是积极的。对于最年轻的护士群体来说，轮班工作是最具破坏性的。工作能力指数得分取决于年龄组：在年龄最大的年龄组中最低，在干预期间没有变化。符合人体工程学的工作时间安排对所有年龄段的医护人员的福祉都有积极的影响。
The aim of this study was to design ergonomically improved shift schedules for nurses in primary health care shift work in order to enhance their health and well-being. The main change made was the reduction of quick returns (i.e., no more morning shifts immediately after an evening shift) in order to ensure more recovery time between work shifts. Six municipal hospital units participated in the intervention. Our aim was to maintain or improve the well-being and work ability of aged workers. The subjects (n=75) were divided into three age groups: 20-40, 41-52, and 53-62 yr. The introduction of more recovery time between evening and morning shifts significantly improved the subjects' sleep and alertness, well-being at work, perceived health, and leisure-time activities independently of their age. The effect on social and family life was also positive. Working in shifts was the most disruptive for the youngest group of nurses. The Work Ability Index score depended on the age group: it was lowest among the oldest age group, and did not change during the intervention. Ergonomic working time arrangements show positive effects on the well-being of health care workers of all ages.
