Abstract
We sought to develop a multi-dimensional tool for measuring and understanding nurse fatigue. The participants were 301 nurses working in four hospitals in Seoul, South Korea. Basic items were developed after a preliminary literature review, and content validity was verified by a group of experts. The first 52 items from which the fatigue measurement tool was to be developed were tested for construct validity and were reduced via factor analysis to 31 items. Following a confirmatory factor analysis, the items were further reduced to 23 items in three categories: physical, mental, and emotional. A confirmatory factor analysis found the items to be adequate. The fatigue scale was found to have high construct validity and reliability. This scale is expected to serve as a preliminary data-gathering tool to assess the level of nurse fatigue and to develop interventions to alleviate it.
