The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between reported sleep, perceived fatigue and sleepiness, and cognitive performance.
Although evidence suggests that fatigue and sleepiness affect the provision of care in inpatient units, there is a lack of research on the sleep patterns of emergency nurses and the effects of disturbed sleep and fatigue on their cognitive abilities and susceptibility to medical errors.
A quantitative correlational design was used in this study; in each of 7 different statistical models, zero-order relationships between predictors and the dependent variable were examined with appropriate inferential tests.
Participants reported high levels of sleepiness and chronic fatigue that impeded full functioning both at work and at home.
Although high levels of self-reported fatigue did not show any effects on cognitive function, other factors in the environment may contribute to delayed, missed, or inappropriate care. Further research is indicated.
本研究旨在探讨所报告的睡眠、感知到的疲劳与嗜睡以及认知表现之间的关系。
尽管有证据表明疲劳和嗜睡会影响住院病房的护理工作，但对于急诊护士的睡眠模式以及睡眠障碍和疲劳对其认知能力及医疗差错易感性的影响，仍缺乏研究。
本研究采用定量相关设计；在7种不同的统计模型中，通过适当的推断性检验来检验预测变量与因变量之间的零阶关系。
参与者报告称存在高水平的嗜睡和慢性疲劳，这在工作和家庭中均妨碍了其充分发挥功能。
尽管自我报告的高水平疲劳对认知功能未显示出任何影响，但环境中的其他因素可能导致护理延迟、遗漏或不当。有必要进行进一步研究。
