Fatigue affects nurses negatively and leads to physical, cognitive and emotional problems that may influence nurses' quality of life. However, there is a lack of studies about prolonged fatigue and its relationship with socio-demographic characteristics and job-related psychosocial factors among nurses, especially emergency nurses, worldwide and in Jordan.
This study aims to assess the relationship between demographic factors, physical health, psychological distress and job-related psychosocial factors (psychological job demands, job control and social support) and prolonged fatigue among emergency department nurses in Jordan.
A descriptive correlational study using a convenience sample was used to recruit 153 emergency nurses. Physical health Questionnaire, General Health Questionnaire, Job Content Questionnaire and Checklist Individual Strength were used.
The majority of emergency nurses experienced abnormally prolonged fatigue, moderate health, high psychological distress, high job demands and low job control and social support. Significant negative relationships were addressed between job control, social support and prolonged fatigue, whereas income had a negative weak relationship. Psychological distress and job demands had a positive weak relationship with prolonged fatigue. There was a significant positive weak relationship between psychological distress, job demands and prolonged fatigue. Job-related psychosocial factors (with exception of social support) and mental health were the predictors of prolonged fatigue.
Prolonged fatigue is a multidimensional phenomenon that can be affected by several factors such as job-related psychosocial factors and psychological health. These factors should be taken into consideration when testing and developing interventions to minimise prolonged fatigue among emergency nurses.
疲劳对护士产生负面影响，会导致身体、认知和情绪问题，可能影响护士的生活质量。然而，在全球范围内以及约旦，缺乏关于长期疲劳及其与护士社会人口学特征和工作相关心理社会因素关系的研究，尤其是急诊护士。
本研究旨在评估约旦急诊科护士的人口统计学因素、身体健康、心理困扰以及工作相关心理社会因素（心理工作需求、工作控制和社会支持）与长期疲劳之间的关系。
采用描述性相关性研究，通过便利抽样招募了153名急诊护士。使用了身体健康问卷、一般健康问卷、工作内容问卷和个人力量清单。
大多数急诊护士经历了异常长期的疲劳、中等健康水平、高心理困扰、高工作需求以及低工作控制和社会支持。工作控制、社会支持与长期疲劳之间存在显著的负相关关系，而收入与长期疲劳之间存在微弱的负相关关系。心理困扰和工作需求与长期疲劳之间存在微弱的正相关关系。心理困扰、工作需求与长期疲劳之间存在显著的微弱正相关关系。工作相关心理社会因素（社会支持除外）和心理健康是长期疲劳的预测因素。
长期疲劳是一种多维度现象，可能受到多种因素影响，如工作相关心理社会因素和心理健康。在测试和制定干预措施以尽量减少急诊护士的长期疲劳时，应考虑这些因素。
