Abstract
The adverse effects of occupational stressors on nurses in regard to their turnover, productivity, costs, and effects on quality of care are well known.Shift work that involves disruption of circadian rhythm is considered a probable carcinogen.The aim was to investigate the impact of shift work on resilience in nurses and todetermine whether nurses who work shifts have different mental health/professional quality of life outcomes compared to those who work regular hours.This study examined data collected from Registered and Enrolled Nurses (n=1495) as part of a 2013 online self-report study among employed nurses who were members of the Queensland Nurses� Union.Generalised Linear Mixed Model analysis revealed shift workers had significantly lower scores on the compassion satisfaction measure; however, this was a very small effect. There were no significant differences between shift and non-shift workers on depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, Secondary Traumatic Stress and burnout.Nurses working shifts showedsignificantly lower levels of compassion satisfaction compared to non-shift worker nurses; however, they did not indicate they will leave the profession compared to non-shift worker counterparts.
