Work in repeated changing shifts, in general, and night-shifts, in particular, is considered a necessity, encompassing many professions, among them physicians and nurses. This type of work has been shown to adversely affect the normal function of the human body circadian rhythm. This negative influence in turn, is considered to increase characteristic types of morbidity such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and increased rate of cardiovascular morbidity. Women working in night-shifts in particular, have been found to face increased rates of breast cancer, as well as menstrual disturbances and decreased fertility. Despite many physiologic explanations for the deleterious effects of changing or night-shifts on human's health, there is no clear notion for the prevention or treatment of these health hazards. In light of the necessity for such a mode of employment in our modern world, the issues of taking care of the affected workers should be considered on a national scale.
一般来说，从事反复轮班工作，尤其是夜班工作，在包括医生和护士在内的许多职业中被认为是必要的。这种工作类型已被证明会对人体昼夜节律的正常功能产生不利影响。反过来，这种负面影响被认为会增加诸如代谢综合征、2型糖尿病等特定类型的发病率以及心血管疾病发病率的上升。特别是从事夜班工作的女性，已发现她们面临乳腺癌发病率增加、月经紊乱以及生育能力下降的问题。尽管对于轮班或夜班对人类健康的有害影响有许多生理学解释，但对于预防或治疗这些健康危害尚无明确的概念。鉴于在现代社会中这种就业模式的必要性，应该在国家层面上考虑照顾受影响工人的问题。
