Ophthalmology physicians and residents work under stress conditions during night
emergency ophthalmology shifts. Under time pressure, that is a characteristic of the
urgency of care, they must use all their cognitive resources to make an accurate
diagnosis and to provide accurate decisions, with sometimes surgical emergency acts. In
addition, in France, they work at night following by an usual day work, and they can also
work 48 consecutive hours during weekends, followed by a work day ... i.e. 60 consecutive
hours of work ... Long working hours with a short recovery time has been demonstrated to
be a major factor of stress and fatigue. Even if not demonstrated on ophthalmologists,
those working conditions may contribute to symptoms of mental exhaustion and physical
fatigue (sleep deprivation), often accompanied by a loss of motivation at work. This may
leads to a feeling of loss of time control; stress can also distort the perception of
time and leads to hasty actions or delayed decision-making. The combined effects of
stress, feelings of loss of time control, and fatigue necessarily have an impact on work
performance and work quality, with a high risk of medical error. Moreover, prolonged
stress may expose ophthalmologists to a higher risk of multiple diseases, predominantly
systemic inflammation and coronary heart disease.
The main hypothesis is that prolonged work (up to 60 consecutive working hours) may
impact on HRV, comparatively to a typical working day.
