| Abstract |
Report of a survey covering a representative sample of shift workers and their wives. This study, an overall sociological approach to the problems of shift workers attempting to discover the various factors affecting their adaptation, comprises a typology formulated on the basis of a computerised programme, and an analysis of the objective and subjective assessments of each case, which enabled the repercussions of alternating shift work on sleep, meals, health, family life, social life, leisure and working conditions to be ascertained. The data collected are analysed and graded; practical guidelines to attenuate the harmful effects of shift work and augment its advantages are suggested. |
