Description
Meiting Jiang and co-authors surveyed nurses about night shift work and low mood in two thousand twenty-five. Nurses at a large hospital in Haikou, China, took part. The authors asked how heavy night work links to signs of depression, and what steps lie in between.
Of six hundred fourteen nurses, about half screened positive for depressive signs. Heavier night work was linked to higher scores. Poor sleep was the strongest middle step, with social avoidance and fear of missing out also playing a part. The authors call for broad steps that ease night load and protect sleep, social life, and mental health for nurses on night shifts.
