“…We found that single individuals obtained higher and lower scores from the subscales of chronic fatigue and recovery, respectively. Some studies report that marital status is effective on occupational fatigue [27,28] whereas some other studies disagree [19,29]. Particularly during the pandemic, the deficiency of familial and spousal support induces a stress factor on the single physicians and thus, being a single physician may contribute to an increase in occupational fatigue.…”

Background/Aim: Outbreaks of infectious diseases, including the current COVID-19, are associated with major psychological distress and significant symptoms of mental illness. Healthcare workers may experience sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and stress when facing a major public health threat. This study aimed to assess the levels of occupational fatigue and sleep quality among the physicians working in the emergency service of a COVID-19 pandemic hospital. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in July 2020 in Şanlıurfa Province Mehmet Akif Inan Training and Research Hospital. The sample group included 194 physicians. The Introductory Information Form prepared by the researchers, the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion/Recovery (OFER) Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used for data collection. Results:The mean chronic fatigue subscale, mean acute fatigue subscale, mean recovery subscale, and mean Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores were 65.30 (22.87), 69.03 (20.23), 43.93 (19.09), and 8.76 (3.20), respectively. Good and poor sleep quality levels were detected in 11.9% and 88.1% of the physicians, respectively. Sleep quality, gender, marital status, age, and anxiety status due to COVID-19 pandemic affected the occupational fatigue levels of the physicians (P<0.05). Conclusion:Assessing and minimizing the levels of occupational fatigue and implementing interventions for increasing the quality of sleep among the physicians employed in the emergency department, which has a critical place in healthcare services, are necessary.

“…A high score in the inter-shift fatigue (recovery) subdimension indicates that there is recovery between shifts (24). In the validity and reliability studies conducted by Havlioğlu et al (25) for the Turkish version of the scale, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.85 in the chronic fatigue sub-dimension, which was 0.67 in acute fatigue sub-dimension, and 0.68 in the recovery subdimension.…”

Objective: To reveal the factors that may affect the burnout level of nurses working in a medical oncology clinic. Material and Method:This study was a cross-sectional observational descriptive study conducted in a medical oncology clinic. The study included 29 female nurses who were currently working in a medical oncology clinic. Participants were assessed with sociodemographic information form and Turkish versions of the occupational fatigue exhaustion/recovery scale (OFER), the professional quality of life (ProQOL) scale, and the Beck depression inventory (BDI). Participants with a low burnout score and a high burnout score were identified as group A and group B and were compared about factors that could affect burnout.Results: Group A and group B were similar in terms of sociodemographic parameters. OFER-chronic fatigue subscale median (IQR) scores for Group A and Group B were 43.0 (33.00-58.50) and 63.0 (50.0-83.0), respectively (p = 0.032). OFER-inter-shift fatigue subscale median (IQR) scores for Group A and Group B were 50.0 (37.00-57.75) and 37.0 (20.00-43.00), respectively (p = 0.005). Median scores of OFER-acute fatigue, ProQOL compassion satisfaction, and compassion fatigue, and BDI were similar between groups. In binary logistic regression analysis, the odds ratios of OFER-chronic fatigue and OFER-inter-shift fatigue were 1.027 (95% CI 0.980-1.077, p=0.263) and 0.904 (95% CI 0.828-0.988, p=0.025), respectively. Conclusion:Our study revealed that the most crucial factor related to the occupational burnout of nurses might be inter-shift fatigue (recovery). Interventions to target inter-shift fatigue could potentially protect nurses from burnout.

“…The Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale: To measure occupational fatigue, the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale (OFER) was developed by Winwood et al (2005) [29]. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Havlioglu&Ortabag (2019) [30]; it comprises 15 items and three subdimensions. It is a seven-point Likert-type scale.…”

Objective: The coronavirus disease (COVID 19) is a significant problem that affects occupational fatigue and stress level of nurses working at the forefront of the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between occupational fatigue and perceived stress level among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1441 nurses between May 23 and June 7, 2020 using online questionnaire in Turkey. Results: Nurses' occupational fatigue scale scores were moderate to high in chronic and acute fatigue sub-dimensions and moderate to low in the recovery sub-dimension. Furthermore, the average stress level perceived by nurses was reported to be high in this study. Conclusion: It is extremely important for long working hours to be addressed so that nurses can recover and cope with stress during this ongoing pandemic.
