MARTINS, Patrícia  and  MARTINS, Ana Cristina. O regime de horário de trabalho e a vida social e doméstica: Satisfação e estratégias de coping - Um estudo numa amostra de enfermeiros . Aná. Psicológica [online]. 1999, vol.17, n.3, pp.529-546. ISSN 0870-8231.

The present study compares the satisfaction with social and domestic situation and the strategies to cope with social life, domestic life, sleep and work of people that practice different systems of work schedule. We used a questionare contituted by three of the scales of the Standard Shiftwork Index (Barton et al., 1993) - Social and domestic situation, Coping and Biographic information - with two groups of subjects. 60 of them worked in a rotating shift schedule and 40 in a fixed day schedule. They were all nurses of the same National Hospital. The results show the existence of significative differences only in the adoption of some of the coping strategies and they are discussed in terms of the literature, of the equivalence of the two groups, and of the implications for future studies and practice.

Keywords : Work schedules; stress; coping.
