Background

A well-designed shift schedule has been reported to have a positive effect on improving health problems associated with shift work. This study aimed to identify compliance with the 17 recommendations on work schedule (WSRs) for shift nurses and related factors.

Methods

The descriptive study was conducted with 182 nurses who worked in three shifts for more than 1 year at superior general and general hospitals in three regions. Data were collected with self-administered questionnaire and 13-week work schedule tables, and analyzed with both person- and cycle-based compliance.

Results

Person-based compliance was 11.77 among 17 items in total. However, no one completely complied with WSRs of “no work on weekends” and which showed the lowest cycle-based compliance (22.3%). Compliance with some WSRs was related to hospital type, proportion of nurses in school and having standards on work schedule at institutional level.

Conclusion

Compliance with WSRs of shift nurses in Korea is still unsatisfactory, and one day off after night shift and work on weekend are quite common. Hospitals should keep the standards on work schedule, monitor compliance with standards, and try to introduce modified shift systems to improve the current problems.

遵守韩国轮班护士工作时间表的建议

背景

据报道，精心设计的轮班时间表对改善与轮班工作相关的健康问题具有积极影响。本研究旨在确定对轮班护士和相关因素的 17 项工作时间表 (WSR) 建议的遵守情况。

方法

描述性研究是对 182 名在三个地区的上级综合医院和综合医院工作超过 1 年的三班倒护士进行的。使用自我管理的问卷和 13 周工作时间表收集数据，并根据个人和周期的依从性进行分析。

结果

以人为本的合规性在 17 项中为 11.77。然而，没有人完全遵守“周末不工作”的 WSR，其表现出最低的基于周期的遵守 (22.3%)。某些 WSR 的遵守情况与医院类型、学校护士比例以及机构层面的工作时间表标准有关。

结论

韩国轮班护士对WSR的遵守情况仍然不尽如人意，夜班后一天休息和周末工作的情况很普遍。医院应保持标准的工作时间表，监督标准的遵守情况，并尝试引入修改后的轮班制度以改善当前的问题。
