Abstract

The reviewed document extensively examines the impact of shift work (SW) on nurses’ health and patient care quality in inpatient settings. Shift work, especially night shifts, has been associated with significant disruptions to nurses’ circadian rhythms, leading to adverse outcomes such as sleep disturbances, chronic diseases, psychological stress, and decreased cognitive function. These health challenges correlate with diminished patient care quality, manifesting in errors, poor communication, and delayed treatments. The study emphasizes the necessity of addressing these issues through organizational policies and interventions. Strategies such as optimized scheduling, stress management, and adequate support systems are proposed to mitigate the negative effects of SW, ensuring nurse well-being and sustained healthcare quality.
