Prediction of risk of Coronary Artery Disease based on Framingham Risk Score in association with shift work among nurses.

OBJECTIVES
The aim of this study was to determine the Prediction of risk of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) based on Framingham Risk Score (FRS) in association with shift work among nurses.


METHODS
This cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic study was conducted on nurses who worked in three hospitals, which located in Abadan, southwest of Iran. The sample size was 120 participants and divided into 60 shift workers and 60 day workers (nonshift workers). Demographic data, medical and occupational history were collected through a checklist and interviews. The CAD risk assessment tools used to estimate the 10-year CVD risk included FRS. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney u, chi-square and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using SPSS version 22.


RESULTS
The mean age of the shift workers was 32.20 ± 2.97 years and day workers was 37.43 ± 2.90 years. There were statistically significant differences between Blood pressure (BP), Total Cholesterol (TC), Body mass index (BMI) and shift work (p≤0.001). There was statistically significant difference between prevalence of CAD risk and shift work based on FRS (P = 0.04).


CONCLUSION
The findings of this study showed that shift work is a risk factor for CAD disturbances. Therefore, a particular follow-up of shift workers should be recommended to screening and preventing the CAD.
