“…Three cross-sectional studies by Ahmed et al (2015; no coefficient and p-value were reported), Barker and Nussbaum (2011; rs = -0.09 to -0.41, ps < 0.05), and Sagherian, Clinton, et al (2017; chronic fatigue, r= -0.41, p < 0.001; acute fatigue, r = -0.43, p < 0.001) reported that nurses who had higher levels of fatigue perceived their work performance as poorer. Kim et al (2015) found a significant negative association between nurses’ fatigue level and patient safety management activities (β = -0.243, p = 0.038). Another study found that nurses with decision regret showed significantly higher levels of acute fatigue (t = -3.12, p = 0.02) and lower levels of intershift recovery (t = -3.54, p = 0.01) than did the nurses without decision regret (Scott et al, 2014).…”

Hospital nurses are at high risk of fatigue due to stressful work environments with heavy workloads and non-standard work schedules. This systematic review examined the relationship between hospital nurse fatigue and outcomes. Full-text English language quantitative studies published between January 2000 and July 2020 were included. A total of 22 articles were reviewed and synthesized. The findings were synthesized into three major categories: nurse outcomes, nurse-reported patient outcomes, and organizational outcomes. Some of the most commonly studied outcomes include nursing performance (n=3), sickness absence (n=3), and intention to leave (n=4). Fatigue was consistently associated with mental health problems, decreased nursing performance, and sickness absence. Many studies confirmed that nurse fatigue is negatively associated with nurse, patient-safety, and organizational outcomes. However, our findings highlight gaps in current knowledge and the need for future research using a longitudinal design and measuring additional outcomes to better understand the consequences of nurse fatigue.

“…Previous research studies have shown that excessive nurse fatigue levels can negatively affect the task‐based aspects of their work (Cho & Steege, 2021). Nurses with higher levels of fatigue perceived to have poor work performance (Sagherian et al, 2017), performed at a lower level in patient safety management activities (Kim et al, 2015), and experienced clinical decision regret (Scott et al, 2014). Nurses with high levels of fatigue may perceive to have poor relationship‐based nursing work performance as well as task‐based nursing work performance.…”

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the relationships among nurse fatigue, individualized nursing care, and nurse‐reported quality of care. Design The study used a cross‐sectional design. Data from 858 registered nurses providing bedside care in hospitals were collected between March and April 2021 in the United States. Methods Participants completed a self‐administered online survey, including the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery scale, the Individualized Care Scale‐Nurse version, and a single item assessing nursing care quality. Relationships among the study variables were examined using multiple linear and logistic regression models. Findings Nurses' higher levels of acute fatigue were significantly associated with decreased perceptions of individualized nursing activities provided to patients on their last shifts, specifically related to personal life condition and decision‐making control. Nurses' higher levels of chronic fatigue were significantly associated with decreased perception of individualized nursing activities provided to patients on their last shifts related to clinical condition, personal life condition, and decision‐making control. Nurses with higher levels of acute or chronic fatigue, and who perceived their nursing care activities as less individualized were less likely to assess their quality of care as excellent. Conclusion These findings suggest that addressing hospital nurses' acute and chronic fatigue may contribute to promoting the delivery of individualized nursing care and in improving patients' quality of care. Clinical Relevance Healthcare institutions are encouraged to regularly monitor and manage nurse fatigue to improve the delivery of individualized and quality nursing care to their patients.

“…According to some studies, fatigue caused by long working hours has been shown to be related to mistakes recorded before surgery and also to the increased risk of medication errors (Gold et al, 1992;Warren & Tart, 2008). Reduced patient satisfaction: When nurses are fatigued, they may not be able to provide the same level of care and attention to patients, which can contribute to reduced patient satisfaction and compromise patient safety and quality of care (Gaba & Howard, 2002;Kim et al, 2015).…”
