Is Night Shift Work Associated With Depression and Suicidal Ideation? A 17-Year Follow-Up Study
Listen to this summary
The study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of night shift work on mental health outcomes, specifically depression and suicidal ideation, while also examining potential sex differences in these associations. The findings revealed that women who engaged in night shift work over 17 years experienced a significantly higher risk of suicidal ideation and depression, whereas men showed different depressive symptoms linked to night shifts. These results highlight the need for tailored mental health interventions that consider sex-specific vulnerabilities related to night shift work.
