Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of shift-work on sleep and blood pressure in electronics workers. Methods A total of 2 496 workers were selected from 11 electronic enterprises in Wuhan City as the study subjects by typical cluster sampling method. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect their current status of shift-work. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure their sleep quality in the past month. Results The prevalence of hypertension and sleep abnormality of the study subjects were 6.0% and 68.1%, respectively. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the total scores of PSQI in the day-middle shift workers and day-night shift workers were higher than that in the non-shift workers (all P<0.05), and the total score of PSQI increased with the shift work age and shift work frequency (all P<0.05). The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure of the workers who worked on the day-middle shift and day-night shift were higher than those in the non-shift workers (all P<0.05), and the diastolic blood pressure increased with the shift work frequency (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis result showed that workers on three-shift rotations, with >10 years of shift work experience, and with a shift work frequency of more than four times per month were more likely to experience abnormal sleep (all P<0.05). Different type of shift-work, shift-work age and shift-work frequency could increase the risk of hypertension in workers (all P<0.05). Conclusion Shift-work greatly affects the sleep quality of workers in the electronics industry in Wuhan City and increases the risk of hypertension.
