The primary article that has been chosen for analysis is titled ‘Napping on the Night Shift
– A two-hospital implementation project’ .The purpose of the article is to identify how
napping can be used as an effective countermeasure to deal with the sleepiness and fatigue
problems that nurses face when they are working on night shift. In healthcare setting, the
sleepiness of workers can act as a major issue and have an adverse impact on the health
outcome of the patients (Brown et al., 2016). The researchers have tried to ascertain, how in
safety-sensitive industries such as healthcare napping can be used for curtailing sleepiness
or fatigue of workers. The study was conducted as a pilot project to explore the impact of
napping on the night shift workers in the healthcare setting. Various variables were taken
into account while conducting the research study including the sleepiness prior to nap
session, duration of nap and perceived sleep, sleep inertia post nap and nap’s perceived
helpfulness. g
The key research question that has been asked in the article relates to the successful
implementation of napping for night shift workers and the barriers that come into the
picture and adversely affect such a plan. A comprehensive study has been carried out by the
team of researchers to explore various elements such as sleepiness in workers, helpfulness
of napping and its feasibility in the healthcare domain (Brown et al., 2016). In order to
address the research question, a comprehensive analysis has been carried out that revolves
around napping for night shift workers working ion healthcare. The hypothesis in the
research article is that when the barriers relating to napping are effectively overcome, it
napping can act as a feasible solution for nightshift workers that can help to reduce
drowsiness, sleepiness and fatigue in nursing practitioners. g
