Multicenter StudyMusculoskeletal pain and night-shift naps in nursing home care workers.
Care workers in nursing homes are at high risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Many care workers work in shifts, which may compromise both the quality of care they give and their working life. Taking a nap during night shifts has been proposed to ameliorate shift work-related problems, but its relationship with MSDs is not clear. ⋯ Reduced pain in the arm and leg was associated with taking a nap at least once every two night shifts among the nursing home care workers. No association was found between low back pain and night-shift naps in this sample.
