Background: Health care requires a delicate equilibrium of nurse health safety and patient safety outcomes. Shift work can disrupt this balance, resulting in poor outcomes for staff and patients. Problem: Limited evidence exists on nurses' perceptions of shift work, fatigue countermeasures use, and interest in risk-mitigating interventions. Methods: An online survey of nurses was conducted. Survey questions assessed perceptions of shift work, use of fatigue countermeasures, and potential interventions. Results: The participants perceived multiple differences between day and night shifts when asked about their ability to complete both work- and life-oriented tasks. Use of fatigue countermeasures was more common while working night shift. Potential interventions included the use of blackout curtains, an on-site exercise facility, consulting a nutritionist, and block scheduling. Conclusions: Health care leaders should consider nurses' perceptions and interests when incorporating initiatives to mitigate the negative effects of shift work.
