“…Dopamine was the strongest biomarker with a prolonged attenuation during and following a 24 hS. This finding adds novel consequences of shift work that represents variety of impacts on the worker’s physical and psychological health, covering sleep disturbance, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic system perturbations, reproductive function decrease, oncological problems, or anxious and depressive symptoms 18 .…”

Abstract24-h shift (24 hS) exposed emergency physicians to a higher stress level than 14-h night shift (14 hS), with an impact spreading on several days. Catecholamines are supposed to be chronic stress biomarker. However, no study has used catecholamines to assess short-term residual stress or measured them over multiple shifts. A shift-randomized trial was conducted to study urinary catecholamines levels of 17 emergency physicians during a control day (clerical work on return from leave) and two working day (14 hS and 24 hS). The Wilcoxon matched-pairs test was utilized to compare the mean catecholamine levels. Additionally, a multivariable generalized estimating equations model was employed to further analyze the independent relationships between key factors such as shifts (compared to control day), perceived stress, and age with catecholamine levels. Dopamine levels were lower during 24 hS than 14 hS and the control day. Norepinephrine levels increased two-fold during both night shifts. Epinephrine levels were higher during the day period of both shifts than on the control day. Despite having a rest day, the dopamine levels did not return to their normal values by the end of the third day after the 24 hS. The generalized estimating equations model confirmed relationships of catecholamines with workload and fatigue. To conclude, urinary catecholamine biomarkers are a convenient and non-invasive strong measure of stress during night shifts, both acutely and over time. Dopamine levels are the strongest biomarker with a prolonged alteration of its circadian rhythm. Due to the relation between increased catecholamine levels and both adverse psychological effects and cardiovascular disease, we suggest that emergency physicians restrict their exposure to 24 hS to mitigate these risks.

“…Other studies have found no significant sex differences concerning police officers’ quality of life ( 48–51 , 56 , 57 ). However, research on police officers’ quality of life is only recently emerging ( 50–52 , 58 ). The emphasis on job burnout prevention by the state authorities and workers in the EU shows that burnout syndrome is a problem that confers an economic burden ( 53 ); in the context of employee’s effectivity and health, it has to be dealt with.…”

IntroductionBurnout syndrome develops as a consequence of chronic stress among employees. The study objective was to examine what socio-descriptive characteristics of employees might be associated with the appearance of the occupational burnout and to evaluate the relationship between job burnout and the quality of life among security employees of the professional private security sector in Central Serbia.MethodsA multicenter cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was performed. A multivariate logistic regression analysis and ANOVA post choc test was applied.ResultsA total of 353 respondents (330 male and 23 female) participated in the study. Female sex and older age were associated with a higher risk of total burnout and the development of emotional exhaustion while male sex, higher education, and managerial position were associated with higher personal achievement and lower risk of total burnout. Male sex, marital union, two or more children, and direct contact with clients were significantly associated with a lower quality of life of employees. A significant negative correlation was found between total burnout and the Physical Health Composite Score (PHC) score with a correlation coefficient (rs) of −0.265 (95%CI from −0.361 to −0.163); between total burnout and the and Mental Health Composite Score (MHC) score with a rs of −0.391 (95%CI from −0.480 to −0.301); and between total burnout and TQL score with a rs of −0.351 (95%CI from −0.445 to −0.258).ConclusionFemale sex and older age were associated with a higher risk of total burnout and the development of EE while a managerial position and higher education were protective factors in relation to the development of burnout. Male sex, marital union, two or more children, and direct contact with clients were significantly associated with a lower quality of life of the employees. Shift work significantly reduced the total quality of life, while managerial positions increased the quality of life.

“…Os autores discutem que turnos longos não são a única variável negativa. Jornadas de trabalho que se estendem em finais de semana, feriados em geral e datas festivas repercutem negativamente nas relações sociais, familiares e conjugais dos trabalhadores, fragilizando dimensões importantes de sua vida (20) .…”

Objetivo: analisar como os trabalhadores de enfermagem de unidades hospitalares COVID-19 percebem as repercussões físicas e psicológicas do trabalho em sua saúde e os fatores associados à sua percepção. Método: estudo de métodos mistos paralelo-convergente realizado com 359 trabalhadores lotados em unidades COVID-19 de sete hospitais. Para a coleta de dados quantitativos foram utilizados um questionário contendo variáveis sociodemográficas, laborais e relacionadas às percepções de repercussões físicas e psicológicas e, para a qualitativa, entrevistas semiestruturadas. Para a análise utilizou-se estatística inferencial e análise temática de conteúdo. Resultados: trabalhadores diurnos, que tinham mais de um vínculo empregatício e trabalhavam mais de 41 horas/semana perceberam as repercussões físicas como mais moderadas/intensas, devido à sobrecarga e déficit de folgas. Enfermeiros e celetistas perceberam as repercussões psicológicas mais moderadas/intensas, atribuindo-as à sobrecarga gerencial e insatisfação trabalhista. Mulheres apresentaram 97% mais chance de perceberem repercussões físicas e três vezes mais chance de perceberem repercussões psicológicas, quando comparadas aos homens, referindo sobrecarga doméstica e familiar. Conclusão: sobrecargas laborais e familiares, intensificadas pelo contexto pandêmico, foram associadas à intensidade com a qual os trabalhadores da enfermagem perceberam repercussões físicas e psicológicas.
