the organization in which they are employed (Ferriera dos Santos et al., nurses’ shift work: impact on health 59
2018, Stanulewicz et al., 2020, Williams, 2017).
In the research project, we would like to present, investigate whether shift
work affects the health of nurses, based on a literature review, literature search
strategy and restrictive criteria. Research objectives:
- compare the findings of experts in research on the effects of shift
work on the impact on the health of nurses,
- determine whether nurses detect changes during shift work,
- determine whether the impact of shift work on the health of nurses
can be determined by measurements,
- describe the health effects of shift work.
Methods
The research was based on a descriptive research method. The scientific litera-
ture in the field of medicine was used in the research project. The selection of
literature was based on accessibility, relevance and topicality, and innovative
research was included, which supported its results with evidence. The literature
was accessed via an electronic link in the Celje library. Material for the research
paper was collected online in the databases EBSCO and MEDLINE, ProQuest
and Google Scholar. In order to narrow the data, restrictive criteria were used:
peer-reviewed articles, full text, year of publication for 2017 - 2020, language, if
available for download, professional and scientific journals, with the keywords
“nurse”, “shift work”, “Night shift” and “health”. Search found 21 articles. Ar-
ticle review strategy: We have already excluded all articles online where there
was no visible content, or they were in a language, other than English. A re-
view of the databases gave us 21 results, after the review we eliminated 3 arti-
cles that did not contain basic criteria. The remaining 18 articles were read and
reviewed, and 7 more articles were excluded according to the inclusion and ex-
clusion criteria. The other 11 articles were included in the survey for the review
article. The survey was conducted in April and May 2020. MS Word was used
to display the results.
When searching for articles, we decided to include the inclusion and ex-
clusion criteria shown in Table I. The inclusion criteria were that nurses or
health professionals were involved, that working conditions were shift work or
night work, that there was an impact on health, that the article was freely pub-
lished in the period from January 2017 to January 2020 in English and accessi-
ble as full text.
