| Resumen |
In a large hospital in Paris (France), medical examinations provided a basis for a comparative study of the undesirable and reversible effects of continuous night work; the same staff members were examined during a period of continuous night work and after changing to day work. An average sleep deficiency of 2h per day of professional activity was observed during the period of continuous night work (5h 28min, compared to 7h 43min during the period of day work). Marked disturbances of alertness and mood were noted during the period of night work. This indicates that the two periods of work have different effects, although they are often considered to be equivalent in the hospital environment. Chronic sleep deprivation may have negative effects on the quality of care administered by the staff. |
