The impact of shift work on nurses' work stress, sleep quality and perceived health (Article two): In this article it has been clearly described the current status of nurses shift work in Taiwan and how it disrupts nurses' stress, sleep quality and perceived health status. In the research study conducted on providing 24-hour patient care, nurses are required to work various shifts. Long-term shift work has a significant emotional impact on nurses' overall physical and mental health. department, position title, seniority, annual salary, continuing education plans, marital status, number of demographic information collected included gender, age, education level, affiliated children, and family burden (the total number of people living in a household and the number of children under 18). The one lesson I took away from reviewing this article was that work stress was equally high among nurses, whether they work in medical centers or district hospitals. The disadvantage of this study is its cross-sectional strategy. Longitudinal research examining objective biological markers is needed to evaluate the role of shift work on job stress, sleep quality, and long-term health. Further research could examine how innovative nursing hires (more staff) impact changes in job stress, sleep quality, and perceived health. Such research could serve as a reference to guide nursing placement in the future. While this study showed that nurses in district hospitals in and around Taiwan reported reasonable job stress, poor sleep quality, and moderate levels of perceived health. However, no substantial changes were found in work stress, sleep quality, or perceived health with respect to demographic indicators or shift work status. In the reports... half of the paper... ent, the range and nature of the evidence available on the impact of 12-hour nursing shift models?' The main literature search was carried out between October and November 2013 and expert advice on generating relevant search terms and appropriate databases was sought from library and information science specialists. An academic literature search was performed in the electronic databases AMED, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsychInfo, Scopus, HMIC and Cochrane Library. To ensure that the review of research in this field was as comprehensive as possible, no limits were placed on the date of inclusion of the research, but the review was limited to publication in the English language. This huge research paper gave me a lot of information and understanding about nurses' shift work. Below I have highlighted some of the interesting information gathered by (Arksey and O'Malley, 2005).
