| description | Abstract Purpose: To determine the long-term effects of night shift work on dry eye in hospital nurses. Methods: Each participant was evaluated four times, including at the beginning of the day shift (8 am), at the end of the day shift (2 pm), at the beginning of the night shift (8 pm), and at the end of the night shift (8 am), using the tear break-up time (TBUT) test and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaire. Results: The results showed significant differences in the TBUT and OSDI between the end of the day shift (2 pm) (10.26, 16.61) and the end of the night shift (8 am) (6.89, 38.59) relative to each other and relative to the beginning of the day and night shifts. As for the correlation between TBUT and OSDI, a significant correlation was found at all measurement times (correlation coefficient: - 0.478, - 0.707, - 0.556, and - 0.365, respectively) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that the severity of dry eye increased after the night shift with variation over a 24-hr period. Moreover, a significant correlation was observed between TBUT and OSDI results at the beginning and at the end of the day and night shifts. |
