Abstract

This paper is a report of a study of the associations of shift work with work ability and quality of life (QoL) among clinical nurses. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2007-2008 on 1124 nurses using the Work Ability Index Questionnaire and the Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). Lower education was a predictor for low level of work ability and low physical health domain of QoL. Older age and having no partner were statistically significantly related to lower social interaction. Predictors significantly related to low environment domain of QoL were low education and shift work. Shift workers had higher level of level of work ability, but clinically insignificant. The study provides no evidence of a significant association between shift work and work ability or quality of life. Education has a positive association with nurses' work ability and quality of life.

Abstract in Croatian

U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati analize o povezanosti smjenskog rada sa radnom sposobnošću i kvalitetom života među kliničkim medicinskim sestrama. Presječno istraživanje provedeno je 2007–2008 godine na 1124 medicinske sestre pomoću Upitnika Indeksa radne sposobnosti i Upitnika o kvaliteti života (WHOQOL-BREF). Niže obrazovanje je prediktor za nisku radnu sposobnost i nisku domenu fizičkog zdravlja kvalitete života. Starija dobi i status bez partnera bile su statistički značajno povezani s nižom domenom socijalne interakcije. Prediktori koji su statistički značajno povezani sa niskom domenom okoliša kvalitete života su nizak stupanj obrazovanja i smjenski rad. Smjenski radnici imali su veću radnu sposobnost, ali klinički beznačajno. Studija ne daje dokaz o povezanosti između smjenskog rada i radne sposobnost ili kvalitete života. Obrazovanje ima pozitivan utjecaj nas radnu sposobnost i kvalitetu života medicinskih sestara.
