Social jetlag and depression in female rotating‐shift nurses: A secondary analysis.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the predictors of depression among female rotating‐shift nurses. Design and Methods: This secondary data analysis used data of 190 Korean female rotating‐shift nurses from the parent study conducted in 2018. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the predictors of depression. Findings: Young age, poor sleep quality, and greater morning‐shift social jetlag predicted depression among female nurses working a three‐shift schedule. Practice Implications: Nursing management should consider scheduling shifts to minimize nurses' social jetlag and develop interventions for improving sleep quality to prevent depression among female rotating‐shift nurses.
