Psychosocial correlates of work-related fatigue among Jordanian emergency department nurses.

PURPOSE: This study purposed to assess the psychosocial correlates of work-related fatigue among Jordanian emergency department nurses.

DESIGN AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among Jordanian emergency nurses (n = 220). Measures included Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion/Recovery Scale (OFER15) and Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire version Two (COPSOQ II).

FINDINGS: The psychosocial factors correlated with all types of work-related fatigue (acute, chronic, and inter-shift [recovery]) were quantitative demands, work-family conflict, sexual harassment, threats of violence, physical violence, and bullying. Importantly, quantitative demands and sexual harassment were the main predictors of all types of work-related fatigue.

PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The psychosocial correlated factors should be considered when developing interventions to minimize work-related fatigue phenomenon. This would lead to a more positive working environment which will promote safe nursing care.
