This paper describes the introduction and subsequent evaluation of a 12-h shift system in a large ITU in the northeast of UK. To date, only a small number of studies has evaluated nurses working the 12-h shifts in critical care areas. To evaluate the level of staff satisfaction, data were collected by means of a questionnaire involving 41 nurses, at 3 months following the introduction of the 12-h shifts. The responses from the evaluation advocated the continuation of 12-h shifts with alternative shift patterns for nurses who felt dissatisfied with the current system. Twelve-hour shifts can be seen as a flexible system for nurses working in intensive care and may assist with staff satisfaction and improving nurse recruitment and retention.
本文描述了英国东北部一家大型重症监护病房引入12小时轮班制并随后进行评估的情况。迄今为止，只有少数研究评估了重症监护领域护士的12小时轮班工作情况。为了评估员工满意度水平，在引入12小时轮班制3个月后，通过对41名护士进行问卷调查来收集数据。评估结果主张继续采用12小时轮班制，并为那些对现行制度不满意的护士提供替代轮班模式。对于在重症监护病房工作的护士来说，12小时轮班制可以被视为一种灵活的制度，可能有助于提高员工满意度，并改善护士的招聘和留用情况。
