Abstract

This is a descriptive and exploratory study aiming to analyze the circardian rhythm of oral temperature and classify chronotypes in two groups (56 students and 34 nursing workers). The HorneO and of students was 26.2 years old. Working time showed significant difference (p<0,0001). Morning students showed cosinor parameters: mesor = 36,4609, amplitude = 0,2335 and acrophase =14,4658, with p-value = 0,0009; evening students showed mesor = 36,4215, amplitude= 0,2263 and acrophase= 14.3009, with p-value < 0,0001. Morning shift nursing workers presented: mesor = 36,2196, amplitude = 0,4007 and acrophase =15,0746, with p-value<0,0001. Indifferent chronotype was prevalent for the population of nursing professionals and the evening type for students. The findings showed circadian rhythm. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3823/2320
