Abstract:
Objective To explore fatigue status of nurses in intensive care unit (ICU) and to provide reference for management.Methods 115 ICU nurses of an upper first-class hospital were investigated by means of fatigue self-assessment scale (FSAS). The results were analyzed.Results There were significant differences in terms of physical fatigue[(1.34±0.94) vs (2.15±1.36);t=4.197,P<0.05], fatigue consequence[(1.72±0.83) vs (2.26±0.84);t=4.945,P<0.05]and response of sleep and rest to fatigue[(1.18±0.90) vs (1.89±1.09);t=7.064,P<0.01]among nurses of different ages. There was significant difference of circumstantialness in nurses of variant duties[(2.30±0.78) vs (2.61±0.74);t=2.985,P<0.01]. Significant differences were found among different staffing levels, marriage status and children having regarding physical fatigue and response of sleep and rest to fatigue(P<0.05).Conclusions Fatigue is commonly found in ICU nurses and should be paid more attention. Targeted measures should be taken to help ICU nurses release fatigue and improve physical and mental health. Thus, quality of nursing care could be improved.
