Workplace Fatigue Among Oncology Nursing Personnel
2015
: Workplace fatigue is common among occupations that have prolonged work hours, rotating shifts, night-time work hours, inadequate time for rest during work, and insufficient time for recovery between shifts. Available evidence suggests that workplace fatigue poses a substantial threat to patient safety and contributes to worker injury and decreased vigilance. However, little is known about workplace fatigue among nursing personnel working in institutions dedicated solely to the care of patients with cancer. This study describes the scope and severity of workplace fatigue among nursing personnel working in the inpatient and ambulatory care divisions of a comprehensive cancer center.
