“…Wisetborisut et al (2014) found that the prevalence of burnout in shift workers was 25% compared with 15% in non-shift workers, and having more sleeping hours per day was associated with a lower odds of burnout among shift workers [37]. Nurses working shifts, including night shifts, are subject to a cumulative sleep debt, a decreased quantity and quality of sleep, and continuous sleep deprivation [38]. They are vulnerable to work related fatigue and, consequently, experience excessive daytime sleepiness [39].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the burnout of nurses, to determine whether burnout levels differ according to specific demographic variables and the unit is working and to identify the problems related to the subject. The research was conducted at a university hospital in Manisa. The sample of this study was conducted 204 nursing students. The data were collected by a nurses identification form, Maslach Burnout Scale. ANOVA, Kruskall Wallis, Mann Whitney U and Pearson correlation were used for statistical analysis. According to the results gathered from the findings; nurses live in moderate emotional exhaustion, and depersonalisation, nurses perceive as lower personal accomplishment. With respect to nurses of gender, educational status and work services that it was found that there was a statistically significant between score of scale of personal accomplishment subscale (p<0.05). Graduated degree and female nurses perceived as a high personal accomplishment. As for, age and working years that scores of subscales they received on the scale of nurses is evaluated that it was determined that there was a statistically significant between scores of depersonalization subscale (p<0.05). As the period of working in the job and ages decreased depersonalisation rised in nurses and the burnout was seen to be higher in staff nurses. Nurses within the scope of this research are experiencing burnout. Therefore, actions to prevent and to develop strategies for dealing to burnout of nurses must be planned and implemented in both organizational and individual basis.Â

“…In order to deal with the increasing number of scan operations, some hospitals may consider extending the hours in which scans can be conducted or revising the system of shifts, such as conducting scans at night. However, it is reported that extending working hours and providing more services at night entails safety issues [16,17]. Thus, it is important to focus medical resources within a limited time and ensure efficient and safe provision.…”

In this study, as a secondary use of data stored on the hospital's information system, we developed a tool for calculating scan time and personnel cost based on patient condition with a view to realizing safe photographic testing that is tailored to the needs of the aging society, and improving the labour environment. We also calculated personnel costs-as a medical resources input-with the aim to promote the appropriate placement of medical staff and the objective evaluations of work. We utilized data accumulated in the hospital information system to ascertain patient conditions and classified the patients according to patient condition. We calculated the non-enhanced head CT scan times, and then obtained scan time coefficients and personnel cost coefficients. The mean scan time per non-enhanced head CT scan was 5.82 ± 3.83 minutes. The equivalent figure for "carried/freedom level 1" patients was, at 6.59 ± 4.27 minutes, longer than the mean examination time. The personnel costs for scans administered to "unassisted walking" patients were one third of the costs for scans administered to "carried/freedom level 1" patients, suggesting that personnel costs for the same type of scan vary depending on patient condition. Thus, more accurate scan time predictions can be achieved by referring to conveyance category, and especially to freedom level. Furthermore, personnel cost coefficients can serve as a yardstick for making objective evaluations of work.

“…According to the study by Mueck et al (2005), which examined the effects of working shifts, rotational shifts were found to cause psychological and physiological problems in nurses, especially in those aged above 40 years (25). Drowsiness and poor attention in nurses during work shifts could have a negative impact on the performance of these professionals and patient outcomes.…”

“…Drowsiness and poor attention in nurses during work shifts could have a negative impact on the performance of these professionals and patient outcomes. Considering the fact that sleep problems among nurses are commonly associated with their work shifts, nurses engaged in night shifts need to spend a few hours sleeping during the day in order to ensure the compensation of inadequate sleep (25).…”
