ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of working multiple, consecutive night shifts on crash risk during the morning commute. Participants (36 F, 36 M, aged 23.1 ± 3.6 y) completed a laboratory-based shiftwork protocol with seven consecutive night shifts (23:00–07:00 h) that each started and ended with a 20 min simulated commute. Compared to the corresponding pre-work commutes, the likelihood of crashing during the post-work commutes was 11.0-, 8.5-, and 5.6-fold higher at the start, middle, and end of the week, respectively. The results of this simulation study indicate that crash risk is relatively high during the morning commute but declines throughout a week of night work.

摘要

这项研究的目的是评估在早晨通勤期间进行多次连续夜班工作对撞车风险的影响。参与者（36 F，36 M，年龄为23.1±3.6 y）完成了一项基于实验室的轮班工作方案，连续进行了七个夜班（23：00-07：00），每个夜班开始和结束了20分钟的模拟通勤。与相应的上班前通勤相比，下班后通勤时，在一周的开始，中间和结束时发生崩溃的可能性分别是11.0-，8.5-和5.6倍。该模拟研究的结果表明，通勤的风险在早晨通勤期间相对较高，但在整个晚上的工作时间内却有所下降。
