轮班所致睡眠剥夺对护士心理健康的影响探讨

摘要

目的 分析轮班所致睡眠剥夺对护士心理健康的影响。方法 本次研究对象为我院2024年7月-2026年2月期间的27名手足创伤骨科护士。按照轮班不同分为夜班组（12名）和白班组（15名）。对上述两组采取症状自评量表（Self-reporting Inventory, SCL-90）及疲劳量表（Fatigue Severity Scale, FS）调查。对比两组上述结果指标情况，分析其心理健康的影响因素。结果 夜班组SCL-90量表评分高于白班组（P<0.05）；夜班组疲劳量表总分、躯体疲劳维度及脑力疲劳维度评分高于白班组（P<0.05）。结论 轮班造成的睡眠剥夺可加重护士身心疲劳程度，降低其心理健康水平，产生不良心理症状，为此，临床应重视轮班护士睡眠及心理干预，优化排班制度，以降低其心理健康损害。

Abstract

Objective To analyze the impact of sleep deprivation caused by shift work on the mental health of nurses.
Methods The research subjects of this study are 27 orthopedic nurses with hand and foot injuries in our hospital from July 2024 to February 2026. Divided into night shift and day shift according to different shifts. Conduct Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and Fatigue Scale (FS) surveys on the two groups mentioned above. Compare the above results indicators between two groups and analyze the influencing factors of their mental health.
Results The SCL-90 score of the night shift group was higher than that of the day shift group (P<0.05); The total score, physical fatigue dimension, and mental fatigue dimension of the night shift group were higher than those of the white shift group (P<0.05).
Conclusion   Sleep deprivation caused by shift work can exacerbate nurses’ physical and mental fatigue, reduce their mental health level, and produce adverse psychological symptoms. Therefore, clinical attention should be paid to sleep and psychological intervention for shift nurses, and the scheduling system should be optimized to reduce their mental health damage.
