Results The total score of nurses at night shift was (7.47 ±3.05). There were significant differences between the total scores at different time points (P<0.001). The comparisons between the time points of 0:00am and 0:30am,0:30am and 1:00am, 0:00am and 1:00am showed significant differences (P<0.017),and 0:00am<0:30am<1:00am.
