Abstract:
:The aim was to study the effect of job task and fast backward-rotating shifts on the time-of-day variations of cortisol, fatigue, and sleep disturbances in broadcasting sound engineers. The concentration of saliva cortisol and ratings of stress, sleepiness, and fatigue were followed at 3-hour intervals during the fast backward-rotating shifts in 26 sound engineers: 14 subjects from control rooms, aged 45.1 +/- 7.3 years, and 12 subjects working in direct transmissions, aged 51.7 +/- 6.0 years. Saliva cortisol was assessed using an radioimmunology kit. The participants reported for stress symptoms after the shifts and filled a sleep diary. The effects of job task, shift, and time-of-day were analyzed by tests of between-subjects effects (SPSS). Cortisol retained the typical diurnal pattern with a highly significant effect of the shift. The job task and the shift interacted significantly. Higher cortisol values during the morning and night shifts in engineers working in direct transmissions were found. Their stress ratings were also higher, as well as the ratings of sleepiness and fatigue. The quality of sleep was worse in engineers working in direct transmissions. In conclusion, our data indicate that stress and fast backward-rotating shifts in sound engineers working in direct transmissions affect physiological stress markers such as cortisol and increase sleepiness, fatigue, and sleep problems.
