Working during the night, especially with geriatric patients, has a detrimental effect on the circadian rhythm. (1) This study was approved by the Ethics Committee and Commission for Examining Ethics. The sample was randomly formed and consisted of 1200 nurses. In order to meet ethical standards in research, subjects voluntarily signed the consent form to join the study. The study group consisted of 600 nurses working the night shift with geriatric patients. The control group consisted of 600 nurses working the eight-hour day shift. As a survey instrument, two questionnaires were used. The first questionnaire was originally made for the purpose of this study and collected demographic and sociological data about individual respondents (gender, age, years of service, working night shift, marital status, number of children, material and social satisfaction). A standardized questionnaire, Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS; α = 0.85), collected data on subjective assessment of the level of fatigue. The Piper Fatigue Scale consists of 22 questions and provides answers on a ten-point scoring scale, which best describe quality and intensity of fatigue felt in the past seven days. Obtaining a higher score indicates greater intensity of fatigue. Student’s t-test and Pearson’s chi square test were used to assess demographic and sociological data, whereas Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to test the effect of night shift on the level of fatigue. In terms of demographic and sociological characteristics of each sample, females accounted for the majority of night shift subjects (p < 0.001) and most of the day shift subjects (p < 0.001). Generally, night shift respondents were younger in comparison to day shift respondents, and this difference is statistically significant (p < 0.001). Respondents were divided into 3 categories according to the length of service: I-category (0-10 years), II-category (11-21 years), and III-category (> 21 years). Night shift workers had fewer years of service SIGNA VITAE 2015; 10(1): 151 153
