Abstract

Doi: 10.5902/2179769212888

Objective: to analyze the scientific literature on chronotype in nursing. Method: integrative review guided by the question: What is the production of knowledge about chronotype in nursing? The review was performed in the databases LILACS, PubMed and the electronic library SCIELO. It included original articles published between the months of January 2000 and December 2013. Results: 14 articles were considered eligible for analysis, which address the (dis) agreement between chronotype and the work shift, and the association of variables with chronotype. In most studies, the indifferent chronotype was identified among the participants. Conclusion: setting the worker’s shift according to their chronotype can  influence the quality of life and care. Thus, investigations with other variables are necessary in order to identify if the disagreement between chronotype and the work shift is associated with a greater impact on workers' health.
