Attentionnal Performance of Shift Health Workers in Emergency Department

Atypical working hours can be a risk factor for workers. In fact, the body is subject to a circadian rhythm, which affects numerous physiological activities. These biological rhythms reflect the need for certain physiological activities to occur at a specific time of day. This cycle can be disrupted and shifted by external factors. This disruption of biological rhythms can manifest itself in the appearance of health effects. The innovative nature of our work lies in the search for an alteration in psychomotor functions in nursing staff (subject to atypical working hours). To this end, we decided to study the concentration of care workers using a reflex-based psychomotor test, the Psychomotor Vigilance Test (PVT). Other factors will be studied in order to assess the factors that may affect this test.
