Description
Summary:碩士 === 中山醫學大學 === 醫學研究所 === 92 === 13 normotensive female nurses aged between 21 y/o and 25 y/o (mean 23.2 +/- 1.52y/o) worked in cardiac intensive care unit comprised the subjects of this study to determine the relationship between shift schedule working and 24 hrs blood pressure rhythm. 24 hrs ambulatory blood pressure data obtained using Dyna Pulse 5000A when they worked in day-shift schedule (08:00~16:00) for more than 2 months, the second data of the same subjects obtained after they shift to night-shift schedule (00:00~08:00) working for 7~14 days. The results shown significant higher 24 hrs mean systolic blood pressure ( day-shift = 112.08 +/- 14.27 mmHg to night shift = 115.94 +/- 15.04 mmHg, P=0.004); loss of the difference of DBP and HR between awake and sleep period ; significant increased in the percentage of non-dipper in HR (day-shift 15.4% to night-shift 92.3%) after shift to night-shift schedule. This study shown shift schedule work of intensive care givers was associated with flattened circadian change of blood pressure and higher mean 24 hr blood pressure.
