Abstract
- Results: A significant increase in fatigue was observed in the high stress group related to job demand, organizational system, lack of reward, and occupational climate than in the low group (P < 0.001; P = 0.008; P = 0.045; P = 0.003, respectively). In a multiple regression analysis, fatigue was associated with job demand, insufficient job control, and occupational climate (P = 0.007; P = 0.024; P < 0.001, respectively). Fatigue was associated with work department, although a borderline statistical significance was seen (P = 0.005). Conclusion: To prevent fatigue in university hospital nurses, it is important to consider work department, job contents, and working environment related to job stress. Preventive strategies to lower fatigue will be needed under the consideration of job stress related to job demand, insufficient job control and occupational climate for university hospital nurses.
