Rotation work involves travelling to work in remote areas for a block of time and alternate with spending another block of time at home; such work arrangements have become common in the resources sector. The intermittent absence of workers from the home may adversely affect the health of the workers' families. This study synthesises research on mental and physical health outcomes in partners and children of rotation workers in the resources sector.
A systematic review was conducted. Studies were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus. Nineteen studies were included and findings were summarised narratively.
The impact of rotation work on the mental health and well-being of partners and children of rotation workers remains unclear. However, on days where workers are away, partners may experience greater loneliness and poorer sleep quality.
Partners may benefit from support, particularly when they have younger children and/or their spouses first begin rotation work. Research is limited, particularly regarding the impact on health-related behaviours and physical health outcomes.

轮班工作涉及前往偏远地区工作一段时间，然后在家度过另一段时间；这种工作安排在资源部门已很常见。工人在家的间歇性缺勤可能会对其家庭成员的健康产生不利影响。本研究综合了资源部门轮班工人的伴侣和子女心理健康及身体健康结果的相关研究。
进行了一项系统综述。研究从PubMed、Medline、EMBASE、CINAHL、PsycINFO和Scopus中检索。纳入了19项研究，并对研究结果进行了叙述性总结。
轮班工作对轮班工人的伴侣和子女心理健康及幸福的影响仍不明确。然而，在工人外出的日子里，伴侣可能会感到更孤独，睡眠质量更差。
伴侣可能会从支持中受益，特别是当他们有年幼子女和/或其配偶刚开始轮班工作时。研究有限，特别是关于对健康相关行为和身体健康结果的影响。
本综述已在PROSPERO上注册（编号：CRD42020167649）。
