Estudo do efeito do turno de trabalho na qualidade do sono utilizando Modelos Lineares Generalizados

Abstract

The Shift Work practice has been increasingly used by organizations and institutions, he topmost objective is to meet the high requirements of the society. However, several studies show that working in shifts, especially at night, can detect various health problems of individuals, many of which may be impaired by their sleep quality. Based on a survey of 30 male workers working in different work shifts, they relate to the practice of structuring sleep-quality work for these individuals. By providing a greater incorporation of modeling, this research work made use of Generalized Linear Models to fit models capable of describing the interest variable. The data analysis concluded that cognitive activities such as number of memory lapses can be influenced by shift work, especially when working hours do not match the individual's chronotype. This relationship was not achieved by the average reaction time. In particular, the best performances can be observed when working hours respect the appropriate periods for such individuals.
