Results
The study included a total of 72 participants, including 30 (43.3%)
females and 42 (58.3%) males. Analysis of sociodemographic data did not
show a significant statistical difference between groups. Most of the
participants lived with their families (76.4%). In 88.9% of the
participants, there was no previous application for psychiatry
outpatient clinic. In the remaining socio-demographic data, there was no
statistically significant difference between the groups (Table 1).
There were no significant difference between the groups in terms of tea
and coffee consumption. This was important in that the cognitive test
applied eliminated the possibility of being affected by psychostimulant
intake, such as caffeine. There was no significant difference in the
remaining sociodemographic data (Table 2).
There were statistically significant differences between the groups in
the sub-items of the HAM-D and SCWI test (Table 3). There was a
significant elongation in the night shift employees at all times within
the SCWI sub-items. A significant height in the number of errors and
corrections in the cards applied in the continuation of the test was
also determined in the night shift group. This indicates that cognitive
impacts are higher in night shift workers.
Although there were a difference in PSQI and HAM-A scores between
groups, this difference was not statistically significant (Table 3).
