Research progress on application of light therapy in shift nurses

Abstract

Abstract: There is no definite and effective intervention measures for sleep disturbance and related problems of shift nurses clinically. As a safe,effective,and convenient physical intervention method,the application of light therapy in shift nurseshas received extensive attention. At present,there are many foreign studies about light therapy,but there are few domestic studies on the application of light therapy to shift nurses. The paper aims to summarize the relevant content of light therapy and its application status and effects in shift nurses,in order to provide reference for promoting efficient and safe work of shift nurses.

Key words: Shift nurse, Light therapy, Sleep, Intervention effect
