However, no association was seen between shift length and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our findings support policies that limit the amount of overtime worked by nurses,&#8221; Ma said in a statement. &#8220;In practice, nurse managers should monitor the amount of overtime being worked on their unit and minimize the use of overtime.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/jonajournal\/Abstract\/publishahead\/The_Association_Between_Nurse_Shift_Patterns_and.99896.aspx\" target=\"_new\">Abstract\/Full Text (subscription or payment may be required)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
