The aim of this study was to assess the impact of occupational risk factors and unscheduled night-time naps on self-reported health disorders among nurses working in a French psychiatric hospital. Methods: We performed a 12-month observational field study of experienced nurses working at Philippe Pinel Psychiatric Hospital (Amiens, France) between September 2018 and September 2019. A comparative descriptive study of two groups of nurses who filled out a questionnaire on health and occupational stress was performed: nurses working permanently on the night shift (the night shift group, who took unscheduled naps), and nurses rotating weekly between morning and afternoon shifts (the day shift group). Results: The night and day shift groups comprised 53 and 30 nurses, respectively. There were no intergroup differences in health disorders, sleep quality, occupational stress, and risk factor perception. Correlation analyses showed that in the day shift group, a low level of support from supervisors was associated with elevated levels of distress, anxiety, and gastrointestinal disorders. In the night shift group, a greater overall work load was associated with elevated levels of anxiety and distress. These findings indicated that the nurses on the night shift had adapted well to their working conditions. Conclusions: An organizational strategy including an unscheduled night-time nap might improve health among night shift nurses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20010158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,23]],"date-time":"2022-12-23T02:09:03Z","timestamp":1671761343000},"page":"158","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Health, Occupational Stress, and Psychosocial Risk Factors in Night Shift Psychiatric Nurses: The Influence of an Unscheduled Night-Time Nap"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Val\u00e9rie","family":"Amiard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Service de Sant\u00e9 au Travail, Centre Hospitalier Phillie Pinel, 80480 Dury, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Telliez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut d\u2019Ing\u00e9nierie de la Sant\u00e9-UFR de M\u00e9decine, Universit\u00e9 de Picardie Jules Verne, rue des Louvels, 80036 Amiens, France"},{"name":"Laboratoire PERITOX (UMR-I 01, Unit\u00e9 mixte INERIS), Centre Universitaire de Recherche en Sant\u00e9, Pr\u00e9sidence, Chemin du Thil, 80000 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florine","family":"Pamart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut d\u2019Ing\u00e9nierie de la Sant\u00e9-UFR de M\u00e9decine, Universit\u00e9 de Picardie Jules Verne, rue des Louvels, 80036 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Pierre","family":"Libert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire PERITOX (UMR-I 01, Unit\u00e9 mixte INERIS), Centre Universitaire de Recherche en Sant\u00e9, Pr\u00e9sidence, Chemin du Thil, 80000 Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Eriksen, W., Tambs, K., and Knardahl, S.
