NAMA : MARDIYANA YUNIDA PUTRI NPM : 713.6.2.0473 The prevalence of 12 - hour shift in the UK 12 - hour shifts are relatively common: in a survey of nurses in the UK, 41% of NHS hospital nurses and 63% of nurses in home care regularly work 12-hour shifts. Employers reported to be 12 - hour shift due to an increase in continuity of staff, lower staff costs, and potential improvements in staff morale. However, some organizations back to 8 hour shifts because of concerns about the quality and safety of care. Others describe the shift during exhausting and consider their performance will be affected by the end of the shift. Risks associated with the research on long shifts: Several large multi-site study of hospital staff demonstrated that the risk to patient safety is significantly increased when nurses worked beyond 12 hours: Several observational studies and reviews indicate that nurses' critical thinking and professional judgment is more likely to decline value at the end of a long shift (10 or 12 hours), resulting in more errors and accidents. Large-scale study of hospital nurses in the United States showed the risk of making mistakes increases significantly when shift work more than 12 hours, when nurses worked overtime, or when they worked more than 40 hours per week. A study of 663 nurses in 71 acute care hospitals in Illinois and North Carolina showed the patient's death from pneumonia and acute myocardial infarction occurred more frequently in hospitals where nurses work long hours. Nurses who work 12-hour shifts will increase the risk of occupational hazards known than those working 8-hour shifts. Multi-site Studies show nurses feel more physically tired after a 12 hour shift as compared with 8-hour shifts and are more susceptible to long-term health problems .Perawat work for more than 8 hours per day are at greater risk of injury and sharp needles, musculoskeletal and injuries associated with other work and an increased risk of motor vehicle collisions or near - misses while driving home. Working more than 12 hours increases the risk of lapses in hand washing techniques and a greater risk of transmitting infections, patient-to Professional. Several factors affect the quality and safety of nurses, including: long shifts, rotational shift, hours of work, working for several days in a row and shift unplanned or extended. All these factors can contribute to fatigue and nurses endanger patient safety.
