| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to examine the impact of shift work on mental health. Longitudinal data (1995-2005) from the British Household Panel Survey were analyzed. Controlling for age, marital status, education, number of years working and baseline mental health, logistic regression models were used to examine the effect of night work and shift patterns on mental health. The type of shift work was found to have a differential impact on mental health according to gender. Women's mental health was primarily affected by varied shift patterns, while among men, night work had the greater negative impact. |
