Discussion and conclusions
Nurses face many challenges during their professional work. During the en-
counter of suffering, the relief of problems, pain, encounters with death, some-
times on a daily basis, poor wages, poor work organization, during stress and
anxiety, schedules and shift work also bring their consequences. Behrens et al.
(2019) and Lieberman et al. (2020) find that shift work affects the concentra-
tion of nurses, they sleep less, are exhausted, it also affects the number of work
errors, prolongs reaction time by performing consecutive shift work or night
shifts, while Hayashi et al. (2020) argues that patient safety is related to the
number of working hours, night shifts, and lack of nurses’ days off. Nurses who
work at night may not be able to provide a high standard of care due to the or-
ganization due to the negative effects of fatigue on the quality of care and safe-
ty, also say Antill et al. (2016). Dehring et al. (2018) say nurses working shifts
are more prone to distress, anxiety, insomnia, depression, and social dysfunc-
tion, but the organizational climate and increase in supervisors could alleviate
