Abstract

Examined the impact of shiftwork on the health of 231 Australian domestic pilots. Pilots experienced elevated fatigue, and poorer mental health and sleep compared to the general population and other shiftwork groups. Depression, sleep quality, number of years in shiftwork, and circadian type explained the most variance in chronic fatigue.
