Night shift is a difficult word in the nurses’ dictionary and is a large problem for both men and women in hospital shifting of time also it is associated effects with changes in the lifestyle of the nurse, unlike regularity in the morning hours. Our aim of this Research Proposal to investigate moreover workers with night shift duty to more recurrent health checks due to increasing lifestyle disturbance.
Search strategy:
Relevant studies were found from the search carried out using the database for CINAHL Plus with Full Text, EBSCOHost, Search modes is Boolean/Phrase and English Language Psych Info for the period 2013 – 2017. The search used key words: (change, lifestyle, Night Shift, Nurses, related, factors). This includes non-academic references, such as the Government policies, unpublished work and literature that is not generally in the public domain (i.e. police data). However, Many references were manually search for relevant reference list, secondary reference, Government overall policy, and local Government agencies. Papers were included if they were peer reviewed, published in English on or after 2014 and primarily related to the issue of change lifestyle factors related to night shift among nurses.
Literature review:
We found a positive association between night shift and BMI. This suggests that workers with a heavy night work load might need special attention and frequent health checks due to higher risk of undesirable health effects. (Buchvold et al.,2015). In addition, in this study analyzed the association change between work schedule and modulation in nutritional status. In a panel study performed with professional nurse based on two surveys seven year apart (n = 372). No change with group in work schedule, change from morning shift to night shift, and change from night to daytime shift were analyzed. Outcomes were weight gain and body mass index (BMI) increase in group. Participants who changed from daytime to night shift showed increased twice in odds of more than 5 kg weight gain and BMI category increase. changeable from daytime to night work show to effectiveness increased weight and BMI. (Siqueria et al.,2016). In this study, have shown that breast cancer risk is associated with characteristics of night shift, and provide new evidence may be that night shift a role in the occurrence of the disease. The association of breast cancer with night shift was at most observed in work women during overnight shifts, those who worked at night for 4.5 or more years and less than per week three nights on average. There is strong association in women working as night shift before their first full-term pregnancy than in women who started working at night shift later in hospital. (Menegaux et al., 2013). However, the study found some evidence that probably of the factors involved in breast cancer associated with shift work but the ORs were low and there were inconsistencies dose–response relationships and in duration also. (Fritschi et al., 2013). Further more, no any significant association between night shift work and alcohol consumption. (Hermanson et al., 2003). This study examined 990 subjects working day, two-shift or three shifts schedules with AUDIT and biochemical parameters indicating potential misuse: carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) and Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). utilize three parameters they did not find a higher level of risky alcohol consumption between day workers compared to shift workers. (Ohida et al.,2001) However, found that between Japanese female nurses there was a positive association between working night work and using alcohol as sleep aid. We did not find any significant association between night shift work and smoking. However, many studies repeat elevated levels of smoking between night shift workers (Biggi et al.,2008) and (Puttonen et al.,2010). In a wide group of nurses. (Ramin et al.,2015) Other study shown that night workers were more likely to smoke and consumed more caffeine than those who had never worked night shift. Moreover, a significant positive association between NNL and daily caffeine consumption, which might suggest that caffeine is being used as a stimulant during night work. (Shy et al.,2011) In addition, report that 89 % of emergency residents consumed caffeine during night shifts, with 52 % using it every shift.

Using convenient sample initially the researcher will initially interview whoever wants to be interviewed.
Data analysis:
The interviews will be using A digital voice recorder utilized to aid transcription, and additionally, contextual notes. The data will fully transcribed and then analysed using content thematic analysed using a thematic approach NVivo™ is a retrieve, code and theory building tool. It allows users to replicate all of the abilities of the ‘paper and pen’ system into the software, and much more. The software utilises rich text which allows integrated emphasis through colour, font and character style (DeNardo and Levers 2002, 8). Once imported, text can continue to be emphasised through the internal rich text editor for the manipulation of colour, font and character style (Blismas and Dainty 2003, 460).
Ethical issue:
I will take approval according to the protocol of each hospital, whether governmental or private, and the study will be voluntary and that ensure the participants not be affected by the administration of the hospital because of this research at the level of assessment or work place or salary or even rewards.
Dissemination:
A written report on the finding from this study will submitted to Nursing Department in Directorate of Health Affairs in Al-Ahsa City in the Eastern Region and King Faisal University in Al-Ahsa and working on publishing it in the Public Health journals BMC Public Health has an Impact Factor of 2.209 and on next Elsevier Nursing Education Conference.
