This study conducted a systematic review of the literature with the objective of describing the effect of working in shifts on workers' health. The descriptors used were: "occupational risk", "occupational health", and "shift work", all of which were provided by on-line publications from 2000 to 2007. MEDLINE and SciELO publications were selected associating Shift Work and Occupational Risk--and the former to Occupational Health--using single descriptors. Among the one hundred and seventeen papers reviewed thirty seven were chosen. 91.7% were in English, 70.3% were transversal studies, 18.9% were cutoff and 10.8% were control cases. The research focused on cardiovascular changes (24.4%), quality of sleep and alertness (17.7%), metabolic changes (13.3), among others. Some papers did not identify a connection between changes in the workers' health and shift work.
本研究对文献进行了系统综述，目的是描述轮班工作对工人健康的影响。所使用的描述词为：“职业风险”、“职业健康”和“轮班工作”，所有这些均来自2000年至2007年的在线出版物。通过使用单一描述词，选择了MEDLINE和SciELO上有关“轮班工作与职业风险”以及前者与“职业健康”相关的出版物。在所审查的117篇论文中，挑选出了37篇。91.7%为英文论文，70.3%为横向研究，18.9%为临界值研究，10.8%为对照病例研究。该研究重点关注心血管变化（24.4%）、睡眠质量和警觉性（17.7%）、代谢变化（13.3%）等。一些论文未发现工人健康变化与轮班工作之间存在关联。
