Objective and subjective measures of sleepiness, and their associations with on-road driving events in shift workers.

摘要: To assess the relationships between sleepiness and incidence of adverse driving events in nurses commuting to from night rotating shifts, 27 permanent shift-working were asked complete daily sleep duty logs, wear wrist-activity monitors for 2 weeks (369 sessions). During all commutes, ocular measures drowsiness, including Johns Drowsiness Scale score, assessed using Optalert™ system. Participants self-reported their subjective at beginning end each drive, any that occurred during drive. Rotating shift reported higher levels compared with nurses. In both groups, sleepiness, drowsiness drive significantly commutes following shifts before shifts. Strong associations found objective increased odds Maximum total blink duration (mean = 7.96 s) pre-drive Karolinska Sleepiness 5.0) associated greater sleep-related [OR, 5.35 (95% CI, 1.32, 21.60), OR, 1.69 1.04, 2.73), respectively]. Inattention was strongly a score equal or above 4.5 4.58 1.26-16.69)]. Hazardous more likely occur when drivers had been awake 16 h 4.50 1.81, 11.16)]. Under real-world conditions, experience high as indicated by measures, which are impaired performance work. Keywords: Driver distraction; Language: en
