Spørreundersøkelsen om skiftarbeid, søvn og helse hos sykepleiere (SUSSH)

Hovedinnhold

Spørreundersøkelsen om skiftarbeid, søvn og helse hos sykepleiere (SUSSH) ble startet i 2008. Nesten 3000 sykepleiere har siden fått tilsendt årlige spørreskjema. Formålet med undersøkelsen er å se på hvordan sykepleieres helse utvikler seg over tid, da spesielt i assosiasjon til ulike typer for arbeidstid/turnusarbeid.
