摘要
Night work and rotating shift work disrupt the circadian tinting system. This disruption may produce significant deleterious symptoms in some workers. Certain medical conditions may be aggravated by shift-work scheduling, and shift workers are at increased risk of experiencing cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and reproductive dysfunction. Vulnerable individuals may develop clinical depression when working shifts. Primary care practitioners may intervene by providing medical surveillance and educational programs for shift-working patients and their families.
