Two aspects of work-related consequences among surgery nurses are discussed: burnout syndrome and fatigue, having an impact on the quality of medical care and safety of patients. Siegrist's effort-reward imbalance model has been adopted as a concept of occupational stress. The organization of working time, i.e. the length of shifts and their rotation, was considered. Nurses on twelve-hour shifts worked much harder, were more tired after work and suffered from sleep disorders. Rotation of shifts was of no significance for development of fatigue and insomnia. Occupational stress resulted first of all in greater fatigue, and next in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Energetic aspect is common for both work fatigue and emotional exhaustion. Drained of forces may be treated as the effect of prolonged work shifts and effort-reward imbalance.
