“…In these states, as in burnout, there is a tendency to treat fatigue in a generic way although the concept seems to have several dimensions, such as affective, muscular, cognitive, and physical fatigue (16,17). In addition the etiology is different.…”

“…El cuadro 6 muestra el análisis de correlaciones no paramétricas entre los factores e ítems de fatiga incluidas en el estudio. Se puede observar que los índices de correlación superiores a 0.7, el cual es considerado como correlación alta (Levy et al, 2003), fueron los obtenidos entre los ítems y el factor al que pertenecen, esto de acuerdo a la agrupación factorial obtenida por Ahsberg et al (1997) …”

“…Situación que, de acuerdo con Ahsberg (1997), se presenta en actividades desarrolladas por bomberos y en pruebas físicas de esfuerzo máximo, pero no así en enfermeras donde el menor nivel de fatiga es el obtenido por el factor falta de motivación (González, 2005;. Algunas actividades donde el factor somnolencia puede mostrar el nivel más alto de fatiga son la operación de cuartos de control en plantas nucleares y conductores de autobús (Ahsberg, 1997).…”

“…La comparación estadística y los índices de correlación obtenidos entre los factores falta de energía, esfuerzo físico demuestran que la fatiga de los trabajadores se manifiesta principalmente con los sínto-mas de estar exhausto, agotado, extenuado y con calor, ítems que son los de mayor impacto en la fatiga de los trabajadores (Ahsberg, 1997;González et al, 2005).…”

Resumen: En este estudio se aplicó la versión en castellano del Inventario Sueco de Fatiga Ocupacional (Swedish Occupational Fatigue InventorySpanish), con el objetivo de identificar los síntomas de fatiga en operadores de maquinaria semiautomatizada clasificada como tecnología de manufactura avanzada (TMA). Se encuestaron 121 operadores de tornos de control numérico computarizado (CNC) en una empresa fabricante de flechas homocinéticas localizada en la ciudad de Celaya, Guanajuato, en el centro de México. Los resultados muestran que el factor falta de energía se relaciona con un nivel más alto de fatiga, mientras que el factor somnolencia se relacionó con un nivel más bajo de fatiga. Palabras clave: fatiga mental / esfuerzo físico / TMA / cuestionario SOFI-S Fatigue factors in semiautomated machine operators in MexicoAbstRAct: In this study the Swedish Occupational Fatigue InventorySpanish version (SOFI-S) was applied in order to identify the symptoms of fatigue between Advances Manufacturing Technology (AMT) operators in Mexico. A total of 121 Computerized Numeric Control (CNC) lathe operators were surveyed in a manufacturer of Constant Velocity (CV) joints located in Celaya, Guanajuato in central Mexico. Typical tasks performed by operators included loading, unloading and machine programming. Results show that the dimension "lack of energy" obtained the highest score of fatigue, while the "lack of motivation" obtained the lowest score of fatigue.

“…The Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory, developed by Ahsberg et al (1997), is used to quantify the fatigue profile of workers such as firemen, cashiers, teachers and drivers. A Chinese version (SOFI-C) has been psychometrically tested for use in Chinese populations (Leung, Chan and He, 2004).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in the level of fatigue induced by high-speed maritime craft operation between the day-shift and night-shift officers.The demographic and work-related factors that contribute to fatigue were also explored. A total of 93 high-speed maritime craft officers participated in the survey, of whom 35 worked a day-shift (Mean age = 48.3 years) and 58 worked a night-shift (Mean age = 45.8 years). Fatigue experience was measured with the Chinese version of the Swedish OccupationalFatigue Inventory (SOFI-C) at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the work shift.Information on age, work experience, perceived voyage difficulty and duty schedule was obtained. The study found that the night-shift officers seemed to manifest an overall higher level of perceived fatigue than the day-shift officers, while the day-shift officers demonstrated a fatigue carry-over effect across the two workdays. Besides the shift pattern, age, experience in operating high-speed maritime craft and perceived voyage difficulty were the significant factors contributing to the officers' fatigue experience. The finding that the fatigue experience associated with high-speed maritime craft operation has a rapid and accumulative nature suggests that different occupational safety and health guidelines should be devised for these two groups of officers.Fatigue and high-speed maritime craft 3 3
