Night shift eating habits under the microscope: ICU workers vs. others
NCT ID NCT07394283
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand how working night shifts in busy hospital settings like intensive care and emergency rooms affects what and when healthcare workers eat. Researchers will ask 245 adults who work night shifts in healthcare or other jobs to fill out an online questionnaire about their meal timing, food choices, and eating patterns. The goal is to find out if the work environment plays a role in unhealthy eating habits, which could help design better workplace health programs.
