Nurses are at risk of eye discomfort due to the increasing use of visual display terminals and wearing masks, which may worsen eye-related symptoms. This study was conducted in South Korea to identify the factors influencing eye-related symptoms among hospital nurses on/off duty. The study included 154 nurses who completed a self-reported questionnaire that assessed demographic characteristics, perceived health status, dry-eye symptoms, occupational stress, and eye-related symptoms. The results showed that nurses complained of more eye-related symptoms on duty than off duty, with female sex and dry-eye symptoms being the factors influencing eye-related symptoms on duty. On the other hand, computer use time (≥4 h) and dry-eye symptoms were the factors influencing eye-related symptoms off duty. The study suggests that assessing dry-eye symptoms can facilitate early interventions to relieve eye-related symptoms in hospital nurses, and they should pay attention to eye health during working hours as well as off hours.
由于视觉显示终端的使用增加以及佩戴口罩，护士面临眼睛不适的风险，这可能会加重与眼睛相关的症状。本研究在韩国进行，旨在确定影响医院护士在岗/离岗时与眼睛相关症状的因素。该研究纳入了154名护士，他们完成了一份自我报告问卷，该问卷评估了人口统计学特征、感知健康状况、干眼症状、职业压力和与眼睛相关的症状。结果显示，护士在岗时抱怨的与眼睛相关的症状比离岗时更多，女性和干眼症状是影响在岗时与眼睛相关症状的因素。另一方面，电脑使用时间（≥4小时）和干眼症状是影响离岗时与眼睛相关症状的因素。该研究表明，评估干眼症状有助于早期干预，以缓解医院护士的与眼睛相关的症状，并且他们在工作时间和非工作时间都应注意眼睛健康。
