Compared with the second postshift morning, on the first postshift morning nurses presented higher HRV indicators (SDNN, RMSSD, pNN50, TP, VLF, LF, HF) and greater variations in RMSSD and pNN50 during the 6MWT, alongside shorter walking distance and higher perceived exertion.

Overview

Night shifts were associated with altered postshift HRV and reduced 6MWT performance; hypothesis-generating for recovery needs in shift-working nurses.

Structured PICO

Does working night shifts impact cardiac autonomic nervous regulation during the six-minute walk test in nurses?

P
Population
35 female nurses, mean age 28.7 years (range 21.0-37.0 years)
I
Intervention
First morning after a night shift
C
Comparator
Second morning after a night shift
O
Outcome
Changes in heart rate variability (HRV) after the six-minute walk test (6MWT)surrogate

Working night shifts acutely alters cardiac autonomic regulation and reduces exercise capacity in nurses, highlighting the physiological impact of shift work and the need for adequate recovery.
