“…Vermutet wird auf Basis von Tierexperimenten, dass ein geringer Melatoninspiegel durch Schlafstörungen und Schlafmangel möglicherweise das Immunsystem beeinträchtigt. In Überblicksstudien zur epidemiologischen Evidenz werden gesicherte Befunde u. a. aufgrund mangelnder Kontrolle von Tätigkeitsmerkmalen oder des Sozialstatus jedoch sehr kritisch gesehen (Costa et al 2010;Kolstad 2008;Pukkala und Härmä 2007). So können beispielsweise für das Brustkrebsrisiko von Flugbegleiterinnen eher kanzerogene ionisierende Strahlungen als die Lage der Arbeitszeit verantwortlich gemacht werden.…”

Working at the wrong time at the wrong place? A matching-analysis on health stresses for shift and night work Abstract Many studies report diseases caused by shift and night work. As a rule, however, such studies do not take into account socio-demographic factors and job characteristics. Based on the BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey 2006, the present paper looks into the effects of various job-specific and socio-structural factors on physical and mental health as well as sleeping disorders. The analysis was carried out using the matching approach. Furthermore, the matching approach was used to form to shift and night work groups as structurally identical references as possible with regard to social-structural characteristics and job features. This strategy makes it possible to extract independent effects of the timing of work on health problems.

“…The risks of making an error at work were signifi cantly increased when work shifts were longer than twelve hours, when nurses worked overtime, or when they worked more than forty hours per week (12). Extended daily working hours have both negative (example fatigue) and positive effects (more time for the family, social life, and domestic duties) (13)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”

The objective of this study was to examine the perception of confl ict between work and family roles and job, family, and life satisfaction among nurses in Croatia. One hundred and twenty-nine nurses (married mothers) working in hospitals in Zadar, Šibenik, and Split were divided in four groups according to their worktime schedule. The participants completed a survey, which included a set of sociodemographic-type questions, questions about the level and allocation of family responsibilities between spouses, and scales measuring the perceived negative effects of worktime, psychological demands of the work, work-family confl ict, and semantic differential scales for measuring the affective and cognitive-evaluative component of job, family, and life satisfaction. This was the fi rst study in Croatia to deal with work-family confl ict among nurses or workers with different shift systems. The results of this study indicate that nurses working morning shifts only experienced less confl ict between work and family than other groups of nurses, who worked the morning, afternoon, and the night shift. The cognitive-evaluative component of job satisfaction was the highest among morning shift nurses and the lowest in nurses who worked 12-hour shifts, while the affective component of life satisfaction was the lowest in nurses working irregular and backward rotated shifts. These results confi rm that shiftwork makes the work-family role confl ict even worse. They also support the view that the type of shift rotation matters. Arh Hig Rada Toksikol 2012;63:189-197 Women and worktime stress Although the number of working women is increasing and attitudes about gender roles are changing, the society still expects women to take responsibility for most childcare and household tasks (1). Research results show that women indeed see themselves as more responsible for the family domain than men (2). This "woman's work" often takes priority over other duties and can not be delayed (3). Studies show that levels of stress hormones such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol remain high in women after the work day is over, women with children in particular (4). Certain types of work schedules can be a signifi cant stressor for a working mother. For example, shift work has been shown to have negative effects on physical health, sleep quality, and mental health (5-7).
