Examining the association between rotating shift work (≥3 nights/month plus days and evenings) and Type 2 diabetes among 177,000 female nurses aged 25–67 (the Nurses' Health Study), this large-scale study revealed a graded association between the duration of working life the nurses had been engaged in shift work and risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes. Compared with women who reported no shift work, participants with 1–2 years of shift work had a 5% excess risk of T2D, rising to 20% after 3–9 years, 40% after 10–19 years, and almost 60% for ≥20 years. These data...
A 5-Year Follow-Up of the Whitehall II Study Background The association between overtime work and depression is still unclear. This study examined the association between overtime work and the onset of a major depressive episode (MDE). Methodology/Principal Findings Prospective cohort study with a baseline examination of working hours, psychological morbidity (an indicator of baseline depression) and depression risk factors in 1991–1993 and a follow-up of major depressive episode in 1997–1999 (mean follow-up 5.8 years) among British civil servants (the Whitehall II study; 1626 men,...
The number of hours worked per week continues to drift downwards, on average – the result of more people working part time, fewer people working long hours, and a fall in the collectively agreed working hours in many countries. Foundation Findings provide pertinent background information and policy pointers for all actors and interested parties engaged in the current European debate on the future of social policy. The contents are based on Foundation research and reflect its autonomous and tripartite structure. Source : http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/publications/htmlfiles/ef1145.htm
Objective The aim of this study was to examine depression as a potential health effect of long work hours, anticipating an exposure–response relationship. Method A nationwide prospective cohort study of 2790 Danish senior medical consultants was conducted (61.7% response rate). With the consent of the Danish Data Protection Agency, data from a questionnaire survey was linked with data from the Medical Products Agency. Long work hours were defined based on a self-reported average of weekly work hours >40, while redemption of anti-depressive (AD) drug prescriptions defined depression. Proportional...
Objective The occurrence of possible health hazards among former shift workers is not well-known. We studied associations of former and current shift work with the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods Participants were 1811 full-time employees of a large airline company (1009 men). Working times were categorized into five groups: day worker [N=297 (the reference group)], former shift worker (N=341), 2-shift worker (N=418), night-shift worker (N=283), and in-flight worker (N=472). MetS was measured by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria and the National Institute of Health Adult Treatment...
L'emploi des âgés constitue une préoccupation croissante, notamment pour les institutions internationales, pour deux raisons essentielles : d’une part, la structure démographique de la main-d’œuvre se déplace vers les âges élevés, parce que la natalité dans les cohortes correspondantes – les natifs des années 50 ou 60 – a été plus élevée que dans les décennies suivantes, avec des écarts divers selon les pays industrialisés; d’autre part, l’allongement...
Selon l'enquête Santé et itinéraire professionnel de 2007, 35 % des personnes de 50 à 59 ans ayant travaillé au moins dix ans déclarent avoir été exposées pendant quinze ans ou plus à l'une au moins des quatre pénibilités suivantes : travail de nuit, travail répétitif, travail physiquement exigeant, produits nocifs ou toxiques. 40 % d'entre elles déclarent avoir cumulé au moins deux pénibilités physiques durant leur parcours professionnel, dans le même emploi...
A new report, Part-time work in Europe , combines data from two Eurofound surveys, the European Company Survey and the European Working Conditions Survey, to see how part-time work is distributed - across sectors, across countries and according to gender. It highlights the multifaceted issues surrounding part-time work and finds that, for the moment, while part-time workers may enjoy a better work-life balance, they earn less and lose out on access to training and career advancement. Part-time jobs in high-skilled management positions do exist, but they are still very much an exception. Source...
A recent EU study looks at the incidence of flexible working time arrangements and their implication for gender equality in 30 European countries. It found wide diversity in the length of working time but an overall increase in its incidence. It also looked at flexibility in the organisation of working time, focusing on flexible schedules, working from home and atypical hours. There were some positive links with gender equality but some potentially more negative aspects. Source : http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/ewco/2011/01/EU1101031I.htm
Fréquent dans les services publics ; en augmentation dans l'industrie et pour les femmes En 2009, 15,2 % des salariés (21,4 % des hommes et 9 % des femmes), soit 3,5 millions de personnes, travaillent la nuit, habituellement ou occasionnellement. C'est un million de salariés de plus qu'en 1991, l'augmentation étant particulièrement forte pour les femmes. Les trois quarts des salariés qui travaillent la nuit le font dans les services : 31 % dans le secteur public et 42 % dans une entreprise privée de services. Santé, sécurité...
Non-standard employment and, more particularly, part-time work has been increasing worldwide for the past two decades. This trend has been especially strong in Europe, where the issue of different working time arrangements is an important part of the discussion among policymakers and social partners, and something which the European Union (EU) has promoted to increase flexibility for workers and employers. However, part-time work is spread very unevenly across Member States, reflecting differences in legislation, infrastructure and cultural conventions. This report uses data from the fourth European...
Background: Although nurse staffing has been found to be related to patient mortality, there has been limited study of the independent effect of work schedules on patient care outcomes. Objective: To determine if, in hospitals where nurses report more adverse work schedules, there would be increased patient mortality, controlling for staffing. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used, with multilevel data from a 2004 survey of 633 nurses working in 71 acute nonfederal hospitals in North Carolina and Illinois. Mortality measures were the risk-adjusted Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality...
Dossier spécial dans Applied Ergonomics , Volume 42, Issue 2 (2011) This special issue of Applied Ergonomics includes eleven selected papers presented at the XIX International Symposium on Shift work and Working Time, held in San Servolo Island, Venice (Italy), on 2–6 August 2009, and jointly organized by the Scientific Committee on “Shift work and Working Time” of the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH), and the Working Time Society (WTS). This biannual event, now with a 40-year tradition (the first symposium was held in 1969), is aimed at providing...
UBC study links shift work to higher risk of work injury With shift work on the rise, so too may be the risk of workplace injury. A recent study by researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) concluded that Canadians who work night and rotating shifts are almost twice as likely to be injured on the job as those working regular day shifts. The study examined data on 30,000 Canadians collected as part of Statistics Canada's Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics. Trends in work injury were compared among workers involved in different types of shift work from 1996-2006. The findings...
A Review From an Occupational Health Nurse Perspective Registered nurses are the largest group of health care providers in the United States. To provide 24-hour care, hospital staff nurses often work long hours and consecutive shifts, without adequate meal or rest breaks. Serious declines in functioning related to provider fatigue can lead to safety issues for patients and nurses alike. The occupational health nurse can assess the effects of nurses' work hours and break periods on employee health, educate staff on the importance of sleep and deleterious effects of fatigue, and implement programs...
