restless legs syndrome willis ekbom disease is prevalent in Working nurses but seems not to be associated with shift Work Schedules
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018Co-Authors: Siri Waage, Ståle Pallesen, Bente Elisabeth Moen, Bjørn BjorvatnAbstract:Insomnia and excessive sleepiness are among the most commonly reported sleep problems related to shift Work. Sleep related movement disorders have however received far less attention in relation to such Work Schedules. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between different shift Work Schedules and the prevalence of Restless legs/Willis-Ekbom disease (RLS/WED) in a large sample of Norwegian nurses. Our hypothesis was that shift Working nurses would report higher prevalence of RLS/WED compared to day Workers. A total of 1788 nurses with different Work Schedules (day Work, two-shift rotation, night Work, three shift rotation) participated in a cohort study, started in 2008/2009. Four questions about RLS/WED based on the diagnostic criteria were included in wave 4 (2012). RLS/WED prevalence rates across different shift Schedules were explored by the Pearson chi-square test. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between RLS/WED and Work Schedules and shift Work disorder (SWD) with adjustment for sex, age, marital status, smoking and caffeine use. In total, 90.0% of the nurses were females, mean age 36.5 years (SD = 8.6, range 25-67). The overall prevalence of RLS/WED was 26.8%. We found no significant differences between the prevalence of RLS/WED across the different shift Schedules, ranging from 23.3% (day Work) to 29.4% (night Work). There was a significant difference (p<0.001) in the prevalence of RLS/WED between nurses having SWD (33.5%) compared to nurses not having SWD (23.8%). SWD remained significantly associated with RLS/WED in the adjusted logistic regression analysis (1.56, CI:1.24-1.97). This study did not support the hypothesis. RLS/WED was associated with SWD, which might indicate that nurses vulnerable to shift Work also are sensitive to other complaints related to a misalignment of the biological clock.

Restless Legs Syndrome/Willis–Ekbom Disease Is Prevalent in Working Nurses, but Seems Not to Be Associated with Shift Work Schedules

adaptation and readaptation to different shift Work Schedules measured with sleep diary and actigraphy
Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Ingvild Berg Saksvik, Siri Waage, Bjørn Bjorvatn, Allison Harvey, Anette Harris, Ståle PallesenAbstract:In this study we examine sleep during adaptation and readaptation to different shift Work Schedules in the offshore oil industry. The sleep of 19 offshore Workers was assessed daily for 1 week before, during the Work period, and for 1 week after 3 different Work Schedules: (1) day (14 consecutive days of Work), (2) night (14 consecutive nights of Work), and (3) swing shift Work (first 7 nights with night Work then 7 days of day Work). The Workers' sleep was assessed for 84 days. Actigraphy and sleep diary estimates of sleep was applied assessing: (1) adaptation to offshore shift Work, (2) sleep across the 2 offshore Work weeks, and (3) readaptation after the Work period. Regarding adaptation, sleep efficiency was higher when Working day than night and swing shift the first week of Work. Sleep quality was better during swing than regular day/night shifts the first week of Work. Total sleep time was longer during day and night shift than swing shift across the 2 Work weeks. Sleep efficiency, based on sleep diaries, was higher during day than night and swing shift during the 2 Work weeks. There were no significant differences between the shifts in readaptation in terms of sleep. To conclude, adaptation to swing shift was more difficult than adaptation to regular day and night shifts in terms of sleep. Readaptation to day Work after 1 week of night Work affected sleep negatively. There were no differences between the shift Schedules the week after the Work period.

parents nonstandard Work Schedules and child well being a critical review of the literature
EconStor Open Access Articles, 2014Co-Authors: Sarah Johnson, Wen Jui Han, Sonia Andrews, Garth E Kendall, Lyndall Strazdins, Alfred Michael DockeryAbstract:This paper provides a comprehensive review of empirical evidence linking parental nonstandard Work Schedules to four main child developmental outcomes: internalizing and externalizing problems, cognitive development, and body mass index. We evaluated the studies based on theory and methodological rigor (longitudinal data, representative samples, consideration of selection and information bias, confounders, moderators, and mediators). Of 23 studies published between 1980 and 2012 that met the selection criteria, 21 reported significant associations between nonstandard Work Schedules and an adverse child developmental outcome. The associations were partially mediated through parental depressive symptoms, low quality parenting, reduced parent-child interaction and closeness, and a less supportive home environment. These associations were more pronounced in disadvantaged families and when parents Worked such Schedules full time. We discuss the nuance, strengths, and limitations of the existing studies, and propose recommendations for future research.

parental Work Schedules and children s cognitive trajectories
Journal of Marriage and Family, 2011Co-Authors: Wen Jui Han, Liana FoxAbstract:Previous Work has shown an association between mothers’ nonstandard Work Schedules and children’s well-being. We built on this research by examining the relationship between parental shift Work and children’s reading and math trajectories from age 5/6 to 13/14. Using data (N=7,105) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and growth curve modeling, we found that children’s math and reading trajectories were related to parents’ type of nonstandard shifts (i.e., evening, night, or variable). We found that having a mother who Worked more years at a night shift was associated with lower reading scores, having a mother Work more years at evening or night shifts was associated with reduced math trajectories, and having a father Work more years at an evening shift was associated with reduced math scores. Mediation tests suggest that eating meals together, parental knowledge about children’s whereabouts, and certain after-school activities might help explain these results.

Parental Work Schedules and Adolescent Risky Behaviors.
Developmental psychology, 2010Co-Authors: Wen Jui Han, Daniel P. Miller, Jane WaldfogelAbstract:Using a large contemporary data set (the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Child Supplement), the authors examined the effects of parental Work Schedules on adolescent risky behaviors at age 13 or 14 and the mechanisms that might explain them. Structural equation modeling suggests mothers who Worked more often at night spent significantly less time with children and had lower quality home environments, and these mediators were significantly linked to adolescent risky behaviors. Similar effects were not found for evening Work Schedules, while other types of maternal and paternal nonstandard Work Schedules were linked to higher parental knowledge of children's whereabouts, which led to lower levels of adolescent risky behaviors. Subgroup analyses revealed that boys, those in families with low incomes, and those whose mothers never Worked at professional jobs may particularly be affected by mothers Working at nights, due to spending less time together, having a lower degree of maternal closeness, and experiencing lower quality home environments. In addition, the effects of maternal night shifts were particularly pronounced if children were in the preschool or middle-childhood years when their mothers Worked those Schedules. Implications and avenues for future research are discussed.

parental Work Schedules and adolescent depression
Health Sociology Review, 2009Co-Authors: Wen Jui Han, Daniel P. MillerAbstract:AbstractUsing a large contemporary United States data set, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-Child Supplement (NLSY-CS), this paper examines the relationship between parental Work Schedules and adolescent depression at age 13 or 14, paying particular attention to the mechanisms that may explain this relationship. Analysis based on structural equation modelling showed that increased Work at night by mothers was significantly associated with a lower quality of home environment and fewer meals together, and this mediator was significantly linked to increased risks for adolescent depression. In addition, evening Work by fathers was significantly associated with lower paternal closeness and this mediator was significantly associated with increases in adolescent depression. In contrast, irregular shifts by both mothers and fathers increased the likelihood of mothers knowing where the child was and this relationship in turn reduced adolescent depression. Implications and avenues for future research are d...

nonstandard maternal Work Schedules during infancy implications for children s early behavior problems
Infant Behavior & Development, 2009Co-Authors: Stephanie S Daniel, Joseph G Grzywacz, Esther M Leerkes, Jenna Tucker, Wen Jui HanAbstract:This paper examines the associations between maternal nonstandard Work Schedules during infancy and children's early behavior problems, and the extent to which infant temperament may moderate these associations. Hypothesized associations were tested using data from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Child Care (Phase I). Analyses focused on mothers who returned to Work by the time the child was 6 months of age, and who Worked an average of at least 35 h per week from 6 through 36 months. At 24 and 36 months, children whose mothers Worked a nonstandard schedule had higher internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Modest, albeit inconsistent, evidence suggests that temperamentally reactive children may be more vulnerable to maternal Work Schedules. Maternal depressive symptoms partially mediated associations between nonstandard maternal Work Schedules and child behavior outcomes.

non standard Work Schedules Work family conflict and parental well being a comparison of married and cohabiting unions
Social Science Research, 2011Co-Authors: Hui Liu, Qiu Wang, Venessa Keesler, Barbara SchneiderAbstract:Abstract Although a growing number of American parents Work non-standard Schedules, evidence on the consequences of such Working patterns is inconsistent and limited to married samples. This study highlights the importance of considering potential differences between cohabiting and married parents in terms of the relationship between non-standard Work Schedules and parental well-being. Based on pooled data from the 1997 and 2002 National Study of the Changing Workforce ( n = 2346), we find that in contrast to married parents who experience some positive associations of non-standard Schedules and parental well-being, cohabiting parents are more likely to experience a negative relationship between non-standard Work Schedules and parental well-being. Additionally, for cohabiting parents (but not married), non-standard Work Schedules are related to increased Work–family conflict, which is in turn associated with lower levels of parental well-being.
