What Measures Can Institutions Take?

Healthcare institutions can adopt several measures to mitigate the negative impacts of shift work on nurses:
1. Rotating Shifts Carefully: Implementing forward-rotating shifts (morning to evening to night) can ease the transition between different schedules.
2. Providing Breaks: Ensuring adequate rest breaks during shifts can help nurses manage fatigue.
3. Education and Support: Offering education on circadian rhythms and providing mental health support can improve nurses' overall well-being.
