Analysis of Factors Correlated to Work Fatigue of Hospital Nurses in Bandar Lampung
Abstract
Work fatigue is a symptom correlated to a decrease in work efficiency and skills and an increase in boredom and anxiety. If hospital nurses suffer work fatigue, they will be unable to perform at their best to care for patients, and this will reduce their productivity in providing services. This study aimed to identify the factors correlated to the work fatigue of hospital nurses in Bandar Lampung. This study had a crosssectional design. The study population included 247 respondents, and the final study sample included 153 respondents. The independent variables in this study were sex, age, marital status, nutritional status, disease history, work period, and shift work. The dependent variable was work fatigue. The study data were analyzed using the
Chi-Square test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (α = 0.05), and logistic regression test. The results showed that 75.8% of the respondents suffered from work fatigue. There were significant correlations between work fatigue and sex (p = 0.034), shift work (p = 0.001), and work period (p = 0.041). The determinant factor of work fatigue was the work shift (OR = 3.479; p = 0.007; 95% CI: 1.398–8.659). Therefore, it is suggested that hospital management should better regulate work shifts.
