Background: Studies conducted in hospital settings have associated negative clinical outcomes with 12-hour shifts. Despite this, 12-hour shifts are common in nursing and popular among nurses. Little is known about outcomes associated with 12-hour shifts in ambulatory care settings.
Objective: A mixed-methods, quality improvement project was conducted in a large, ambulatory cancer center to evaluate oncology nursing staff perspectives on 12-hour shift work.
Methods: One hundred ambulatory oncology nurses completed surveys and 11 participated in focus group interviews.
Findings: Nurses expressed predominately positive perspectives about 12-hour shift work in ambulatory oncology care.
Conclusions: Ambulatory oncology nurses perceived benefits to quality, safety, and satisfaction for both nurses and patients related to 12-hour shifts. Further evaluation of patient, nurse, and organizational outcomes unique to ambulatory settings is essential for nurse executives in formulating data-driven staffing plans. The incorporation of 12-hour shifts should be considered.

Twelve-hour ultradian rhythmic reprogramming of gene expression in the human ovary during aging.

Center of Reproductive Medicine, The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, 510655, China.
Background: The 12-h ultradian rhythm plays a crucial role in metabolic homeostasis, but its role in ovarian aging has not been explored. This study investigates age-related changes in 12-h rhythmic gene expression across various human tissues, with a particular focus on the ovary.
Methods: We analyzed transcriptomic data from the GTEx project to examine 12-h ultradian rhythmic gene expression across multiple peripheral human tissues, exploring sex-specific patterns and age-related reprogramming of both 12-h and 24-h rhythmic gene expression.

Objective: To know job satisfaction, work-family balance, sleep quality, and burnout in nursing staff after the introduction of the 12-h rotating shift in the emergency department of a tertiary hospital.
Method: Cross-sectional observational design carried out in February 2023 for the first collection (T1) and October 2023 for the second collection (T2) in emergency nursing staff. Sociodemographic data, work and family reconciliation, job satisfaction, degree of burnout, and sleep quality were collected.

Constant light and high fat diet alter daily patterns of activity, feed intake and fecal corticosterone levels in pregnant and lactating female ICR mice.

The prevalence of constant light exposure and high-fat diet in modern society raises concerns regarding their impact on maternal and offspring health outcomes. In rodents, exposure to maternal high-fat diet or continuous light negatively program metabolic and stress response outcomes of offspring. A 2x3 factorial study was conducted to investigate the impact of diet (control-CON, 10% fat, or high fat-HF, 60% fat) and exposure to different lighting conditions: regular 12-hour light-dark cycles (LD), continuous dim light (L5), or continuous bright light (L100) on female ICR mice daily patterns of time in and out of the nest, feed intake, and fecal corticosterone levels during gestation and lactation.

Introduction: The available literature reviews of shift work among care workers are almost exclusively focused on 8-hour shifts and 12-hour shifts or 24-hour on-call shifts for physicians. We do not yet know the scope of evidence regarding extended-duration work shifts (defined as on-duty shifts of 16 or more hours per shift) in diverse healthcare settings, such as the impact on care workers and recipients of care. In this proposed scoping review, we aim to provide an overview of the current research regarding extended-duration work shifts among care workers in various healthcare settings.
