“…The average number of hours worked each week for anesthesia residents in Taiwan was 64 h; this is similar to work hours reported by Canadian anesthesia residents (60 h) [4]. Anesthesiologists in Taiwan also face long work hours (59.9 h) [1].…”

“…The response rate was 81.77%, better than similar studies on with attendees in India (65.3%; Alattar, Harrington, Mitchell, & Sloane, 2007), in junior doctors in New Zealand (63%; Gander et al, 2007), and in Canadian anaesthesia residents (77%; Hanlon et al, 2009). This study was based on self-report.…”

“…The frequencies (see Table 9) were significantly different and suggest a 1.7 times greater risk of EDS for those subjects working more than 80 hours per week. An association between higher work hours in a week and EDS has been demonstrated in several studies from a number of different countries, including Canada (Hanlon et al, 2009), New Zealand (Gander et al, 2007), United States (Defoe et al, 2001;Gander et al 2007), Australia (Dorrian et al, 2006), Japan and others (Groeger, Zijlstra, & Dijk, 2004;Jagsi et al, 2008;Jewett, Dijk, Kronauer, & Dinges, 1999;Kaneita et al, 2005;Klerman & Dijk, 2005;Liu, Uchiyama, Kim, et al, 2000;Ohida et al, 2004;Skeff, Ezeji-Okoye, Pompei, & Rockson, 2004;Steinbrook, 2002).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between sleep hygiene, excessive daytime sleepiness and work hours among resident physicians in Chandigarh, India. Data were collected from 350 volunteering junior resident doctors and included sociodemographic variables, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) as measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), sleep hygiene as measured by the Sleep Hygiene Index and hours worked. Almost half of the resident physicians studied reported a problem of EDS and maladaptive sleep hygiene practices. Physicians working more than 80 hours per week and physicians with more maladaptive sleep behaviours were much more likely to report EDS. The authors propose that sleep hygiene and number of hours slept should be considered as EDS prevention and treatment strategies, especially for physicians working less than 80 hours per week. The authors also propose that the most salient intervention for physicians working more than 80 hours per week is one of workplace advocacy, where the government is encouraged to adopt legally binding guidelines as seen in other countries.

“…6,10 However, another study has uncovered essentially equal daytime sleepiness when residents worked 12 to 16 hours versus 24 hours. 11 Studies to date suggest a variable impact of duty hour limitations on fatigue. To our knowledge, no study has looked at fatigue and its potential consequences in any given specialty across multiple time points from before duty hour limitations to the present.…”
