Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to study the effect of working intensity at night shift on the cardiorespiratory endurance, the quality of life, and mental health problems in working and non-working adolescents and to compare the cardiorespiratory endurance, the quality of life, and mental health problems in working and non-working adolescents
Study design: Cross-sectional descriptive study.
Method: The participants were 96 students age between 15-18 years were divided into a non-working group and working groups divided by the intensity of work. This study used the YMCA step tests, the Health Survey Short Form 36 (SF-36), the Thai Perceived Stress Scale-10 (T-PSS-10), and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D), Thai version.
Result: This study found increasing of the heart beat count from YMCA step test of working girls compared with non-working girls (p<0.05). The level of cardiorespiratory endurance in “very good” category in non-working group was 33.3% and would decrease according to the intensity of work, i.e. 28.6%, 8.3%, and 11.3% (low, moderate, and high intensity respectively). Results from the Health Survey Short Form 36 (SF-36) found that the scores of Role-emotional category in working groups were significantly higher than non-working group (p<0.05). Moreover, there are stress and depression in a non-working group and working groups were more likely in working adolescents.
Conclusion: The night shift working in girl’s adolescents may affect cardiorespiratory endurance. Mental health problems (stress and depression) can be found in both boys and girls, both the working group and the non-working group. The mental health problems from depression and high stress are found in a high intensity working group more than other groups.
