Concurrent Trajectories of Objectively Measured Insufficient Recovery and Workload Among a Cohort of Shift Working Hospital Employees: Quantitative Empirical Research.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To investigate concurrent changes in short shift intervals (< 11 h) and workload among hospital employees.

Design and data sources

This cohort study of 1904 employees in one hospital district in Finland utilised data on employees' working hours for short shift intervals and workload based on the patient classifications aggregated to a 3-week period level across 2 years, 2018-2019. The data was analysed by group-based trajectory modelling and multinominal regression models.

Results

The seven trajectories model had the best fit to the data-Group 1: very few short shift intervals that are decreasing and low workload (15.0%); Group 2: a low amount of short shift intervals that are decreasing and stable low workload (14.2%); Group 3: moderate amount of short shift inte
