밤에 일 하거나 무거운 물건을 들고 옮기는 일을 하는 여성들은 불임 가능성이 높다.

간호사의 12시간 근무와 업무 만족도, 탈진, 이직 의사와의 관련성

유럽 12개 나라 간호사들을 대상으로 한 연구

12시간 이상 근무하는 간호사의 경우 업무 만족도가 낮고, 탈진율이 높으며, 이직 의사가 높음. 이러한 경향은 간호사와 환자 모두에게 악영향을 끼칠 수 있음

간호사들 개개인이 12시간 근무를 선호하는 경향이 있는 것도 사실이지만, 장기적으로 볼 때 이는 바람직하지 못함

Association of 12 h shifts and nurses’job satisfaction, burnout and intention to leave: findings from a cross-sectional study of 12 European countries

Objectives 12 h shifts are becoming increasingly common for hospital nurses but there is concern that long shifts adversely affect nurses’ well-being, job satisfaction and intention to leave their job. The aim of this study is to examine the association between working long shifts and burnout, job dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with work schedule flexibility and intention to leave current job among hospital nurses.

Methods Cross-sectional survey of 31 627 registered nurses in 2170 general medical/surgical units within 488 hospitals across 12 European countries.

Results Nurses working shifts of ≥12 h were more likely than nurses working shorter hours (≤8) to experience burnout, in terms of emotional exhaustion (adjusted OR (aOR)=1.26; 95% CI 1.09 to 1.46), depersonalisation (aOR=1.21; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.47) and low personal accomplishment (aOR=1.39; 95% CI 1.20 to 1.62). Nurses working shifts of ≥12 h were more likely to experience job dissatisfaction (aOR=1.40; 95% CI 1.20 to 1.62), dissatisfaction with work schedule flexibility (aOR=1.15; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.35) and report intention to leave their job due to dissatisfaction (aOR=1.29; 95% CI 1.12 to 1.48).

Conclusions Longer working hours for hospital nurses are associated with adverse outcomes for nurses. Some of these adverse outcomes, such as high burnout, may pose safety risks for patients as well as nurses.

Cancer-causing agents

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health or NIOSH, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Cancer Institute also helped sponsor the report, which names the following agents:

- Lead and lead compounds

- Indium phosphide

- Cobalt with tungsten carbide

- Titanium dioxide

- Welding fumes

- Refractory ceramic fibers

- Diesel exhaust

- Carbon black

- Styrene-7,8-oxide and styrene

- Propylene oxide

- Formaldehyde

- Acetaldehyde

- Dichloromethane, methylene chloride (DCM)

- Trichloroethylene (TCE)

- Tetrachloroethylene (perc, tetra, PCE)

- Chloroform

- Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)

- Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)

- Atrazine

-Shift work

WASHINGTON – THE American Cancer Society and three federal agencies named 19 chemicals and shift work on Thursday as potential causes of cancer that deserve more investigation.

The group published a report with the backing of international experts who said the 20 potential causes they identified had fairly good evidence that they may be a danger and deserved more follow-up.

Most are familiar names, such as chloroform, formaldehyde and polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs, but the list includes indium phosphide, a relatively new compound used in making flat-screen televisions.

All have been classified as possible carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer or IARC, the United Nations cancer agency.

‘These particular ones were picked for two reasons. One is there is more of a hint in most cases that they might be involved with cancer,’ Elizabeth Ward of the American Cancer Society, who helped lead the work, said in a telephone interview. But at the same time, she said, the studies that could make a definitive link are missing.

The second reason is that some of the potential agents or causes are very common. —
