Alertness during working hours among eight-hour rotating-shift nurses: An observational study

Ari Min et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the patterns of decline in alertness among rotating-shift nurses during working hours. The results showed that nurses working night shifts had the lowest average alertness scores, and the specific patterns of decline varied across shifts. Interventions to increase nurses' alertness should take into account the features of each shift.

Vigilance and sleepiness in nurses working 12-hr shifts and their coping strategies

Carole Pelissier et al.

Summary: The study found that the changes in vigilance and sleepiness during 12-hour nursing shifts were not significant, although there may be a slight deterioration in psychomotor vigilance test results over time. However, there was no decline in self-perception of work quality. To ensure quality of care, nurses may adopt specific coping strategies such as taking naps.

Sleep, fatigue and alertness during working hours among rotating-shift nurses in Korea: An observational study

Ari Min et al.

Summary: The study found that sleep parameters and fatigue level could affect the decline in alertness of nurses across different shifts, especially those with lower alertness scores. Therefore, nursing managers and institutions should develop interventions to help reduce fatigue, improve sleep quality and quantity, and enhance alertness among rotating-shift nurses.
