Objective: recognizing the scientific productions that approach night shift work carried out by the nursing
staff in hospitals. Method: this is a bibliographic, narrative, exploratory and descriptive research. The search
was developed in the Virtual Health Library, from July to August 2012. Results: studies point to the fact
that most workers are married women with spouses and/or children, who have to do housework and deal

the health of the workers, they often do this shift because of their choice/personal need or professional and
not by imposition of the institution. Conclusion: there is a growing interest in this topic, mainly in terms of
repercussions of this work shift for the health of nursing professionals. It should be highlighted that it is

contribute for the promotion of health and satisfaction at work.... view less
