Occupational factors are sometimes invoked to explain gender differences in the associations between shiftwork and health. We examined prospective health, sick leave, separately for workers female-dominated (FD) male-dominated (MD) occupations; whether remained after controlling psychosocial working conditions. Data from six waves of Swedish Longitudinal Survey Health were used examine with a four-year time lag work schedule (daywork versus involving nightwork; daywork not nightwork) self-reports depressive symptoms; incidents short- long-term leave; self-rated health; sleep disturbance. Dynamic panel models fixed effects applied, using structural equation modeling. The analyses included adjustments personal circumstances employment conditions; additional conditions (psychological emotional job demands; control; worktime social support at work; persecution threats or violence work). Within FD occupations, that night (as compared daytime work) predicted higher incidence short-term leave (<1 week); within MD nightwork greater symptoms mild depression. Despite notable dayworkers shiftworkers, both significant adjustments. Thus, it was confirmed health reflected poorer shiftworkers either although possibility remains due other unmeasured aspects environment.

Previous intervention studies among night workers mainly focused on single interventions and found inconclusive evidence for effectiveness. A comprehensive approach that includes individual environmental components has been argued as important. Gaining insight into contributing factors the implementation of effectiveness is important to distinguish between theory programme failure.

Background Irregular working hours, that is shift work non-standard schedule, may influence absence rates hospital workers. Methods We collected daily hours the first incidence of from employers' electronic records 2008 to 2017. A case-crossover study compared 28 days preceding (exposure window) earlier (control across 10-year groups (conditional logistic regression for odds ratios (OR) 95% confidence intervals (95% CI)). Results Younger employees had longer more night consecutive shifts. Extended weekly were associated all groups.
