The Relationship Between Shıft Work Status and Burnout Syndrome, Diet Qualıty, and Glycemic Index: A Cross-Sectıonal Study on Blue-Collar Workers
Öz
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the association between shift work status and burnout syndrome, diet quality, and dietary glycemic index among blue-collar employees in an institutional food service setting.
Material and Method: The researcher administered a questionnaire to a total of 122 individuals working during the day shift (08:00-17:00 or 10:00-19:00) and night shift (23:00-08:00), which included sociodemographic characteristics, the Diet Quality Index-International Scale, and the Burnout Scale. A three-day food consumption record was taken, and anthropometric measurements were performed. Total diet and meal glycemic index values were calculated using glucose as the reference value.
Results: Of the individuals, 44.3% were women and 55.7% were men. The mean age was 28.96 ± 12.28 years for male night-shift workers and 36.66 ± 12.19 years for female day-shift workers. No significant differences in burnout scores were observed according to shift type (p> 0.05). Diet diversity scores were higher among day-shift workers compared with night-shift workers (p <0.05). Among day-shift employees, men exhibited higher Evening Glycemic Index and Mean Daily Glycemic Index scores compared with women (p <0.001). A weak positive correlation was observed between burnout scores and mean daily glycemic index among night-shift workers (p <0.05). While no significant association was found between mean daily glycemic index and total diet quality index, positive correlations were observed for all meals except the mid-morning meal (p <0.05).
Conclusion: Shift work was not associated with burnout or diet quality; however, the results suggest that glycemic index may increase with higher levels of burnout.
