Synopsis
In recent decades the many health risks associated with shift work are increasingly recognised. Mounting research indicates that shift workers are at a higher risk of experiencing a wide range of health problems – spanning sleep difficulties, weight gain, gastrointestinal complaints to cardiovascular disease, mental health problems and serious chronic illness.
In 2007 the World Health Organisation deemed shiftwork a probable carcinogen.Despite these associated risks, there are many other factors that can determine the extent of the impact shift work can have on each individual – for example, the nature and type of shift work can play a big part, as well as the individual lifestyle choices and health behaviours of the employee.
This two part shift worker wellbeing series aims to equip employees with information and effective strategies to buffer against the negative health effects of this working schedule. Following a 7 Step Guide, employees will learn how to minimise circadian rhythm disruption, improve sleep hygiene habits and stress management skills – in addition to gaining tips around nutrition and physical activity during shift work.

- Discuss obstacles and solutions to including more exercise on a shift work schedule
- Learn healthy eating principles and nutritional supplements to promote balance – Understand stagse of change theory and how it can be helpful in choosing strategies to bridge knowledge into practice.
