Journal ArticleDOI
Work hours, workload, sleep and fatigue in Australian Rail Industry employees.
TL;DR: Results indicate that, in addition to sleep length, wakefulness and work hours, workload significantly influences fatigue, which has possible implications for bio-mathematical predictions of fatigue and for fatigue management more generally.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Increased cortisol and reduced sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) are both consistent with development of insulin resistance, although hepatic insulin resistance calculated from fasting HOMA did not change significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep and errors in a group of Australian hospital nurses at work and during the commute.
Jillian Dorrian,Carolyn Tolley,Nicole Lamond,Cameron J. van den Heuvel,Cameron J. van den Heuvel,Jan Pincombe,Ann E. Rogers,Dawson Drew +7 more
TL;DR: Findings highlight the need for further attention to these issues to optimise the safety of nurses and patients in the authors' hospitals, and the community at large on their roads.
Journal ArticleDOI
A pilot study of the safety implications of Australian nurses' sleep and work hours.
Jillian Dorrian,Nicole Lamond,Cameron J. van den Heuvel,Jan Pincombe,Ann E. Rogers,Drew Dawson +5 more
TL;DR: The findings of this pilot study suggest that Australian nurses experience sleepiness and related physical symptoms at work and during their trip home and that further investigation into the effects of sleep loss in nursing may be necessary for patient safety from an individual nurse perspective and from a healthcare team perspective.
