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).
