| Abstract: | Background It is well known that physicians' night-call duty may cause impaired performance and adverse effects on subjective health,
but there is limited knowledge about effects on sleep duration and recovery time. In recent years occupational stress and
impaired well-being among anaesthesiologists have been frequently reported for in the scientific literature. Given their main
focus on handling patients with life-threatening conditions, when on call, one might expect sleep and recovery to be negatively
affected by work, especially in this specialist group. The aim of the present study was to examine whether a 16-hour night-call
schedule allowed for sufficient recovery in anaesthesiologists compared with other physician specialists handling less life-threatening
conditions, when on call. |
