ABSTRACT
Good health status is an important prerequisite for nurses to provide quality nursing services for patients. Shift-work is an important work style of nurses. Studying the effect of shift-work on the physical health of nurses is helpful for planning a reasonable shift-work system, formulating health promotion strategies, and improving the personal health and quality of life of nurses. Shift-work can disrupt circadian rhythms and lead to dysfunction autonomic and endocrine system, indirectly increasing the risk of disease for nurses. Some research suggests that shift-work may have an impact on the endocrine system, leading to an increased risk of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and sleep disorders. Shift-work can cause dysregulation of the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and increased mortality from cardiovascular disease in nurses. Shift-work may cause acid-base imbalance and changes in digestive enzyme secretion, leading to an increased risk of digestive diseases. However, the current research on the effect of shift-work on the physical health of nurses is lacking and more rigorous studies are needed.
