“…Costa (1996) spricht bei Nachtschichtarbeit von einem 2 bis 5-mal häufigeren Auftreten von Magenbeschwerden. Zudem werden Zusammenhänge zu Magen-und Zwölffingerdarmgeschwüren berichtet (Caruso et al 2004;Knutsson 2003;Segawa et al 1987). Als Ursache von Magen-Darmerkrankungen werden wiederum Störungen des Schlaf-Wachrhythmus angesehen.…”

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.

“…Several studies have attributed such effects primarily to disruptions in the body's system for regulating circadian rhythms, the so-called biological clock, which helps to stabilize metabolic, endocrine, sleep, and other physiological functions (9)(10)(11)(12). Nonstandard shifts have been associated with sleep disturbances (13)(14)(15), digestive system and eating problems (7,(16)(17)(18), depression and other psychological or nervous disorders (19)(20), cardiovascular disease (7,(20)(21)(22)(23), certain types of cancer (24)(25)(26), and miscarriage (27)(28)(29). It has been suggested that working nonstandard shifts can exacerbate the effects of various systemic diseases including diabetes mellitus and epilepsy (7,20).…”

“…The shortage of nurses and other types of healthcare workers push those available to work longer hours to fill the vacancies. Studies of many types of workers report these demanding work schedules are associated with several health and safety risks including psychological, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular disturbances, injuries and automobile crashes, cancer, and adverse reproductive outcomes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . In addition, workers may be more prone to poor health behaviors such as smoking, drug and alcohol abuse and less physical activity.…”

Work hours in healthcare often involve extended work shifts (longer than 8 h per day), long work hours (greater than 40 h per week), on-call work, mandatory overtime, and shift work (work times other than 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.) to deliver care around the clock. The shortage of nurses and other types of healthcare workers push those available to work longer hours to fill the vacancies. Studies of many types of workers report these demanding work schedules are associated with several health and safety risks including psychological, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular disturbances, injuries and automobile crashes, cancer, and adverse reproductive outcomes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . In addition, workers may be more prone to poor health behaviors such as smoking, drug and alcohol abuse and less physical activity. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a significant cause of morbidity in healthcare workers, and research on the effects of demanding work schedules on MSD risk is an area that needs further exploration. The purpose of this report is to assess research progress to date examining the relationship between demanding work schedules and MSD outcomes and to identify areas for future study. Theoretical Framework and Possible Mechanisms Linking Demanding Work Schedules and MSDsThe National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council and Institute of Medicine (NRC/IOM) proposed Abstract: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a significant cause of morbidity in healthcare workers. The influence of shift work and long work hours on risk for MSDs is an area that needs further exploration. The purpose of this report is to assess research progress and gaps across studies that examined the relationship between demanding work schedules and MSD outcomes. A literature search identified 23 peer-reviewed publications in the English language that examined MSDs and long work hours, shift work, extended work shifts, mandatory overtime, or weekend work. Eight studies that examined long work hours and had some controls for physical job demands reported a significant increase in one or more measures of MSDs. Fourteen studies examining shift work had incomparable methods and types of shift work, and therefore, no clear trends in findings were identified. A small number of studies examined mandatory overtime, work on weekends and days off, and less than 10 h off between shifts. Given the complexity of the work schedule research topic, relatively few studies have adequately examined the relationship of work schedules and musculoskeletal outcomes. The review discusses research gaps including methodological issues and suggests research priorities.

Abstract: Findings suggest that evening shift and widely varying work start and end times may increase risks for GI disturbances.
