| Abstract | : Night shift employment involves displacing sleep to the daytime. For female workers,
the opportunity for daytime sleep is influenced by routine housework demands, which aggravates
sleep deprivation. Allowing naps to be taken during the night shift of work is a frequent practice
at some hospitals and can help reduce the effects of sleep deprivation. We hypothesize that an
association between domestic work and the length of naps during night work exists for nursing
professionals. To test this hypothesis, two cross-sectional studies were conducted in two different
hospitals. In Study 1, female workers answered questionnaires regarding sleeping habits,
professional work, and housework demands. In Study 2, data regarding napping during shifts
was obtained by actigraphy, a noninvasive method of monitoring the human sleep–wake cycle.
The demand for the performance of housework was measured by (i) domestic work hours (total
time spent performing domestic work per week), and (ii) domestic workload, which considers
the degree of sharing domestic tasks and the number of people living at home. The populations
from the two studies were subdivided into groups, based on the duration of napping at work.
Data on naps were analyzed according to domestic demands, using the Mann–Whitney and
Chi-squared tests. Among the two study populations (Studies 1 and 2), those in Study 2 were
older, had shorter professional weekly work hours, worked more night shifts, and dedicated
more time to housework. Significant associations were only found in Study 2, where greater
time napping at work was associated with both greater time spent doing housework and greater
domestic workload. The known benefits of napping during night shifts seem to be especially
relevant for female workers who are more sleep-deprived from working more night shifts and
who have higher demands for housework. | pt_BR |
