Background. In the world of healthcare, healthcare workers play an important role in ensuring the quality of service for patients. One of the main challenges faced by healthcare workers is the shift work pattern implemented in hospitals to ensure 24-hour service. This study aims to further explore the relationship between shift work patterns and mental health of healthcare workers in hospitals, as well as identify mitigation measures that can be implemented to improve the well-being of health workers. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among health workers who worked in hospitals with a shift work system. Data were analysed using the chi-square statistical test and logistic regression. Results. The results of bivariate analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between the shift patterns and the mental health condition of the health worker. Health workers with irregular shift patterns had higher levels of high anxiety (66.7%), moderate depression (58.3%), and sleep disturbance (83.3%) compared to those working in regular shifts. The significant p value (0.05) indicates that shift patterns are statistically associated with mental health. Conclusions. Irregular shift work can negatively impact the health of health worker, including an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders.
