Background: Organising clinical placements during nights has been reported as an additional opportunity to introduce students to the whole picture of their future responsibilities. However, studies in this field are still lacking. Objectives: To describe and compare (a) the night shift experience of nursing students across Europe, (b) the patient-related problems that they face during night shifts, (c) the night care activities nursing students are called to perform, and (d) the perceived effects of night shift work on learning outcomes. Design: A cross-sectional study, 2016. Settings: Five European countries: Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Slovakia. Participants: Nursing students from nine Bachelor of Nursing Science degree programmes attending night shifts during their study period and who were willing to participate were included. A total of 907 out of 1347 (67.3%) eligible students participated. Methods: Questionnaire based on the available literature, translated into five languages. Results: The duration of the night shift was from an average of 9.8 (CI 95% 9.6-10.0) in Italy to 11.9 (CI 95% 11.7-12.0) in the Czech Republic. Students faced mainly patients' pain without statistical differences across countries (at the overall level, 717 out of 907; 79%; p=.318). However, significant differences in the tasks performed during nights emerged: Polish students reported being more involved in performing basic nursing care (72; 93.5%) as compared to other countries (e.g., Portuguese students 337; 84.9%), (p=.02). Overall, an average of 28.9% of the night shift time was reported to be free of commitments, with higher values among Polish (38%, CI 95% 33.6-42.3) and Slovakian students (33.4%, CI 95% 30.6-36.3) and lower values among Czech Republic students (20.4%, CI 95% 17.6-23.2) (p.001). Boredom and satisfaction were reported as the main feelings during night shifts, with significant differences (p.001) across countries. Students reported significant different effects (p.001) of night shifts on their understanding of a nurse's role (from 5.2 out of 10 in Poland to 6.5 in the Czech Republic), on the understanding of the continuity of nursing care (from 5.2 in Poland to 6.7 in Italy), and on having a relationship with the clinical mentors (from 2.7 and 4.2 in Poland and the Czech Republic, respectively, to 6.9 in Italy). Conclusions: Night shifts can be both a valuable and a non-valuable learning experience, suggesting the need to carefully plan and assess their effectiveness at the unit level.
