Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyImproving Resident Well-Being During Shiftwork: Are Casino Shifts the Answer?
The objective of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the well-being of residents doing casino shifts compared with those doing standard overnight shifts while working in an academic pediatric emergency department. ⋯ In the first study examining the effects of casino shifts on trainees, we found no effect of standard overnight versus casino shifts on their well-being. This counters the benefits previously seen in emergency department consultant staff and highlights the need for more studies specifically in trainees.
