Recommendations to reduce and prevent negative health outcomes and healthcare costs among night shift nurses: An AAN consensus paper.

A growing body of evidence demonstrates occupational night shift hazards. Decades of research point to health risks for nurses contributing to chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cognitive/mental health, and cancers-all associated with earlier mortality. Patient safety, recruitment and retention of quality nursing workforce, and related costs are important concerns associated with night shift work.

Impact of Sleep and Dialysis Mode on Quality of Life in a Mexican Population.

Background: Health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) is reduced with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) but little is known about the impact of sleep disorders, dialysis modality and demographic factors on HR-QOL of Mexican patients with ESRD.

Methods: 121 adults with ESRD were enrolled from 4 dialysis units in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, stratified by unit and dialysis modality (hemodialysis [HD], continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis [CAPD] and automated peritoneal dialysis [APD]). Analysis included clinical information and data from the Sleep Heart Health Study Sleep Habits Questionnaire, the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) short form (SF-36) HR-QOL measure and Epworth Sleepiness Scale.

Design: A cross-sectional survey from the 2009-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Setting And Participants: The participants were 8690 adults (e20years) without a previous sleep disorder diagnosis, end-stage kidney failure, or other kidney or liver problems.
