The overall aim was to investigate the impact of shift work on resilience in nurses and to determine whether nurses who work shifts have different mental health/professional quality of life outcomes compared to those who work regular hours. This study examined data collected from registered and enrolled nurses (n=1495) as part of a 2013 online self-report study among employed nurses who were members of the Queensland Nurses� Union. Generalized Linear Mixed Model analysis revealed shift workers had significantly lower scores on the compassion satisfaction measure; however, this was a very small effect. There were no significant differences between shift and non-shift workers on depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, secondary traumatic stress and burnout. Nurses working shifts showed significantly lower levels of compassion satisfaction compared to non-shift worker nurses; however, they did not indicate they will leave the profession compared to non-shift worker counterparts.
