Compared to individuals who work during the day, shift workers are at higher risk of a range of metabolic disorders and diseases (e.g., obesity, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal problems, metabolic syndrome). Some of these complaints may be linked to the quality of the diet and irregular timing of eating. Other factors that affect metabolism are likely to play a part, including psychosocial stress, disrupted circadian rhythms, physical inactivity, and insufficient time for rest and revitalization. There have been done a number of studies on food and nutrition among shift workers and the factors that might influence eating habits and metabolic parameters. The discussion focuses on the existing dietary assessment data, nutritional status parameters (particularly in obesity), the effect of circadian disruptions, and the possible implications for performance at work. Тhere have been discussed some dietary guidelines as a basis for managing the nutrition in shift work. ; BG; bg; EFSAfocalpoint@mzh.government.bg

This study examined the incidence and nature of general psychopathology among Nigerian shift workers. Three hundred and twenty subjects of both sexes were randomly selected from establishments running one type of shift or the other in Benin City, Nigeria. The Awaritefe Psychological
Index (API) (Awaritefe, 1982) was used in the study. The data were analysed by 4 x 2 x 2 A NOVA supplemented Scheffe's orthogonal test of comparison. The shift workers were found to be more significantly psychopathological than the non-shift workers (p < 0.001). The prominent disorders
found among the shift workers were intellectual, sleep, mood, and general somatic disorders. No significant difference could be attributed to sex and marital status of subjects. The relevance of the findings and their possible clinical implications are discussed. Recommendations for employers
of shift workers and suggestions for future research are also made.

The occurrence of the shift work disorder (SWD) in health-care workers (HCWs) employed in 24/7 hospital wards is a major concern through the world. In accordance with literature, SWD is the most frequent work-related disturb in HCWs working on shift schedules including night shift. In agreement with the Luxembourg Declaration on workplace health promotion (WHP) in the European Union, a WHP program has been developed in a large Hospital, involving both individual-oriented and organizational-oriented measures, with the aim to prevent the occurrence of SWD in nurses working on shifts including night shift. The objective assessment of rotating shift work risk and the excessive sleepiness were detected before and after the implementation of the WHP program, by using the Rotating Shiftwork-questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. The findings of this study showed the effectiveness of the implemented WHP program in minimizing the impact of shift work on workers' health and in preventing the misalignment between sleep-wake rhythm and shift working.

Not Available ; Women are the backbone of any economy primarily shaping future of country. Shift work and workrelated stress are important topics in the healthcare sector due to their possible negative impact on the workers' health and safety. The study was taken to study the problems faced by the nurses in shift work The Objective of the study was 1. To explore problems related to shift work faced by female nurses. 2. To study the impact of shift work on female nurses the present study was conducted in Maharana Bhopal Government Hospital at Udaipur. The sample consisted of 60 female nurses between the age group of 30 -60 years, working in flexible rotating shifts. A standardized tool was used for the present study. The standard shift work index (SSI) by Emeritus Simon Folkard et al. (1995) was used to elicit required data from each respondents showed that majority (86.6) of old respondents worked in rotating shifts with nights, while from young group only 60 per cent worked in rotating shifts with nights The option of swooping shifts with colleagues was a very good option perceived by them. Disadvantages weighed more than advantages in shift work. Higher per cent of young respondents were more ready for quitting shift job for day time job. We can thus conclude that nurse's family encountered many problems as a result of unpredictability of their shift assignments. The nurses face many problems related to sleep, wellbeing and social and cultural related to personal and family setup.
