Abstract :
The aim of this study is to review existing data
sources to identify what we know about the prevalence of
12-hour shifts in nursing and the impact on both staff
and administration personnel in the police. Specifically,
this study aims to address the following questions: What
is the prevalence of 12-hour shifts in policing? How
much internal variation in shift length is there in
policing? What impact does shift length have on quality
of policing and staff experience? To simulate a 12 hour
shift rotation and measure the difference in performance
if any. Significant reductions in neuro behavioural
performance during shift work and particularly night
work have long been recognised. There are conflicting
reports of the effects of 12 hour shifts on performance,
alertness, and safety. Furthermore, research suggests
that older shift workers have more sleep disruption and
maladaptation to shift work. When this is combined with
longer hours at work there may be considerable
reductions in performance for older compared with
younger workers.
