ASSESSMENT OF CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK AMONG STAFF NURSES ON ROTATIONAL SHIFT WORK AT A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN PUDUCHERRY.
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Background & Objectives: The cardiovascular disease is one of the major risk factors that account for mortality and morbidity worldwide, more so among the sleep deprived. The aim of this study is to assess cardio metabolic risk among shift working staff nurses at a medical college hospital. Methods: This hospital based cross sectional study was conducted to assess the cardio-metabolic risk among 100 rotational shift workers (staff nurses). A questionnaire was given to collect socio demographic details and sleep duration of the subjects. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical profile namely fasting blood sugar and lipid profile were assessed to identify the cardio-metabolic risk. Results: All the parameters showed significance (p < 0.05) in subjects with shorter sleep duration and increased shift work experience. Interpretation & Conclusion: As the cardio-metabolic risk among shift workers in India is underreported, this study may help in identifying the subjects at risk and provide them with adequate counseling on lifestyle modification.
