The effect of Bright light on Fatigue and sleepiness in night shift work nurses
Objective: In this study we assessed the effect of bright light emitted by light box on fatigue, and sleepiness in nurses. Methods: 44 healthy female shift work nurses were allocated into two groups of intervention and control. In the first stage, bright light was emitted to the nurses in the intervention group by the light box, and bright light was not emitted to the control group. In the nex...
متن کاملShift Work, Chronotype, and Melatonin Patterns among Female Hospital Employees on Day and Night Shifts.
BACKGROUND Shift work-related carcinogenesis is hypothesized to be mediated by melatonin; however, few studies have considered the potential effect modification of this underlying pathway by chronotype or specific aspects of shift work such as the number of consecutive nights in a rotation. In this study, we examined melatonin patterns in relation to shift status, stratified by chronotype and n...
متن کاملNight shift work characteristics and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (MT6s) in rotating night shift nurses and midwives.
OBJECTIVES Synthesis of melatonin follows a circadian cycle, with high melatonin levels during the night and low levels during the day. Light exposure at night has been hypothesised as one of potential mechanisms of breast carcinogenesis in the night shift workers through inhibition of melatonin synthesis. The aim of the study was to examine a number of determinants for night shift work in rela...
متن کاملAssociation between night shift work, melatonin and estradiol in nurses
Synthesis of melatonin is regulated through visible light exposure, with peak production during the night. Melatonin regulates various physiological processes including secretion of other hormones, and has anticarcinogenic properties as demonstrated in animal and in vitro experiments. It has been suggested that night shift work (exposure to light at night) may disrupt circadian rhythm, and mela...
