| Abstract |
The negative effects of shift work schedules, specifically night and rotating shifts, have been widely reported. However, little is understood whether particular aspects of the organisational environment, related to specific shifts, may influence the negative impact of shift work. This study investigated the variation in organisational climate and health outcomes across shift work schedules (day, night, rotating). This cross-sectional study involved nursing staff (n = 108) who were all registered nurses from two Melbourne health services. There were slightly more nursing staff that participated from one health service (n = 56) than the other health service (n = 52). Nursing staff completed a survey on either paper form or online which comprised of: demographic characteristics, organisational climate (work environment scale) and health outcomes (general health questionnaire). The study found that organisational climate factors and health outcomes differed across shift types. Rotating shift staff exhibited significantly higher coworker cohesion scores when compared to night staff. Night staff reported significantly greater levels of physical comfort within their work environment than rotating staff. Overall, supervisor support emerged as a significant predictor of health outcomes such as somatic complaints, social dysfunction and overall distress. Task orientation was also shown to significantly predict levels of social dysfunction. Findings suggest that interventions with a focus on enhancing the organisational climate, focused in increasing supervisor support, may mitigate the potential negative health outcomes experienced by shift workers. Not applicable to this study. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 September 2018.
All research outputs
#2,559,803
of 23,577,654 outputs
Outputs from BMC Health Services Research
#1,060
of 7,846 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#53,621
of 331,330 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Health Services Research
#47
of 210 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,577,654 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,846 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,330 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 210 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
