ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship of night-shift napping on fatigue.BACKGROUND:
Nurses' fatigue, especially at night, interferes with quality of life and job performance and impacts safety and health.METHODS:
Night-shift nurses completed the Brief Fatigue Inventory and a demographic information sheet to determine differences in fatigue between nurses who napped during their night shift as compared with nurses who did not nap.RESULTS:
No statistically significant differences in global fatigue were found; differences in rotating shift, age, and, gender were identified. Rotating shifts, a 2nd job, and caring for family predicted fatigue.CONCLUSIONS:
Based on this pilot study, further investigations of fatigue among night-shift nurses are needed as well as evidence-based support to promote sleep.
