We investigated whether fatigue can be used to screen nursing populations for risk of sickness absence. Data were available from a prospective cohort study of 2,059 Norwegian nurses working in hospital care, psychiatric care, and nursing home/home care settings. Physical and mental fatigue were measured at baseline with Chalder's Fatigue Questionnaire (FQ). Self-rated sickness absence at 1-year follow-up was considered high if nurses reported >30 sick days in the past year. Physical fatigue accurately predicted high sickness absence and adequately discriminated between high- and low-risk nurses in nursing home/home care settings. Mental fatigue was not predictive in any setting. The FQ is suitable for screening specific nursing populations for the risk of high sickness absence.
我们研究了疲劳是否可用于筛查护理人群的病假风险。数据来自于一项前瞻性队列研究，研究对象为 2059 名在医院护理、精神科护理和疗养院/家庭护理环境中工作的挪威护士。在基线时使用 Chalder 疲劳问卷（FQ）测量身体和精神疲劳。如果护士报告过去一年中有>30 天病假，则自我报告的病假算作高病假。身体疲劳能准确预测高病假，并且能在疗养院/家庭护理环境中区分高风险和低风险护士。在任何环境中，精神疲劳都没有预测性。FQ 适用于筛查特定的护理人群的高病假风险。
