Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine the elements of fatigue in occupations which constitute possible risk factors for the course of a pregnancy, and, in particular, that could cause premature birth. A total of 400 women with singleton pregnancies at ≥ 28 weeks’ gestation were enrolled in the study conducted at the Labor room, Zenana Hospital , Jaipur. Patients reported the number of hours worked per week and answered specific questions designed to determine the following 5 sources of occupational fatigue: posture, work with industrial machines, physical exertion, mental stress, and environmental stress. Fatigue was quantified (0-5 index) according to the number of these sources positively reported. Simple and Mantel-Haenszel χ2 tests were used to test the univariate association and hypothesis of a linear trend between sources of occupational fatigue and spontaneous preterm delivery. Covariables were considered by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Women who did not work outside the home were considered separately from those who worked but did not report any sources of occupational fatigue.Result: women with sternous activity had higher occurrence of preterm birth. 18 % preterm mothers had high occupational fatigue index as compared to 75% term mothers, with p value <0.1,which was significant.

Abstract:
Extensive research has been conducted to study the effects of physical and sleep related fatigue on occupational health and safety. However, fatigue is a complex multidimensional construct, that is task- and occupation-dependent, and our knowledge on how to measure this complex construct is limited. A scoping review was conducted to: 1) review sensors and their metrics currently employed in occupational fatigue studies, 2) identify overlap between sensors and associated metrics that can be leveraged to assess comprehensive fatigue, 3) investigating the effectiveness of the sensors/metrics, and 4) recommended potential sensor/metric combinations to evaluate comprehensive fatigue. 512 unique abstracts were identified through Ovid-MEDLINE, MEDLINE, Embase and Cinal databases and application of the inclusion/exclusion criteria resulted in 27 articles that were included for the review. Heart rate sensors and actigraphs were identified to be the most suitable devices to study comprehensive fatigue. Heart rate trend within the heart rate sensor, and sleep length and sleep efficiency within actigraphs were found to be the most popular and reliable metrics for measuring occupational fatigue.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur personer med MS-fatigue upplever upplägg och innehåll i FM-kursen, samt vilken betydelse de upplever att kursen haft för deras möjligheter att hantera sin MS-fatigue i vardagen. En kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer användes. Data är analyserad med riktad kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att deltagarna upplevde att kursen var lärorik men ansträngande. Samtidigt gav kursen dem kunskap och strategier för att hantera MS-fatigue i vardagen. Huvudfyndet anses vara hur deltagarna upplever kursen stöttat dem hantera MS-fatiguen i vardagen genom användning av strategier och hjälpmedel. I diskussionen tas aspekten av resultatet om hur deltagarna blivit mer aktiva trots de infört vila i relation till aktivitetsbalans. Även aspekten om arbetsterapeutens expertis inom hjälpmedel och stödja deltagarna i användning av detta kunde möjliggöras i kursen. Konklusionen är att fler studier behövs för att studera Fatigue Management påverkan på aktivitet ur aktivitetsbalansperspektivet.
The purpose of this study was to describe how people with MS fatigue experience the structure and content of the FM course, and if the course helped them to handle their MS fatigue in their daily lives. A qualitative method of semi structured interviews was used. Data is analysed with directed qualitative content analysis. The result shows that the participants felt that the course was educative but strenuous. The course gave them knowledge and strategies for managing MS fatigue in everyday life. The main finding is considered how the participants experience the course supported them managing the MS fatigue in everyday life through the use of strategies and tools. In the discussion, the aspect of the result of how participants became more active, despite the added rest in relation to the activity balance, is taken. The aspect of the occupational assistant's expertise in assistive devices and supporting participants in using this could also be made possible in the course. The conclusion is that more studies are needed to study Fatigue Management's impact on activity from the activity balance perspective.

Sammanfattning Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva arbetsterapeutiska interventioner vid sjukdomsrelaterad fatigue samt deras effekter. För att besvara studiens syfte valdes en litteraturstudie med grund i analys av kvantitativ forskning, resultatet av denna litteraturstudie baserades på arton artiklar. Resultatet visade att de flesta av de arbetsterapeutiska interventionerna var aktivitetsfokuserade och byggde på self-management principen där arbetsterapeutens roll är att hjälpa och stötta personen att hantera sin fatigue. Den mest förekommande interventionen var Fatigue Management kurs som beskrevs i nio artiklar och där alla inkluderade personer med MS-diagnos. I elva av artiklarna framkom att interventionerna hade effekt på sjukdomsrelaterad fatigue. Fatigue var det primära utfallsmåttet som mättes i de flesta artiklarna. Det mest förekommande bedömningsinstrument som användes för att mäta effekten av interventionerna var instrument som bedömde påverkan av fatigue till exempel Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) och Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Slutsatsen av denna studie är att det främst finns studier där arbetsterapeutiska interventioner vid MS relaterad fatigue är studerat och att dessa har positiv effekt på fatigue. Däremot finns en kunskaplucka om vilka arbetsterapeutiska interventioner som används vid sjukdomsrelaterad fatigue vid till exempel cancer, reumatiska sjukdomar eller förvärvade hjärnskador samt vilken eventuell effekt de har. Nyckelord: Occupational therapy, fatigue, patient education, self-management.
Abstract The purpose of this literature study was to describe occupational therapeutic interventions in illness-related fatigue and their effects. In order to answer the purpose of the study, a literature study was chosen based on analysis of quantitative research. The results of this literature study were based on eighteen articles. The results showed that most of the occupational therapy interventions were activity-focused and based on the self-management principle, where the role of the occupational therapist is to help and support the person to handle his fatigue. The most common intervention was the Fatigue Management course described in nine articles, and all of which were conducted with people with MS diagnosis. In eleven of the articles it showed that the interventions had effect on illness-related fatigue. Fatigue was the primary outcome measure measured in most articles. The most commonly used assessment tool used to measure the effect of interventions was instruments that assessed the impact of fatigue, such as Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). The conclusion of this study is that there are mainly studies where occupational therapy interventions in MS related fatigue have been studied and that they affect fatigue positively. On the other hand, there is a knowledge gap about which occupational therapy interventions are used in illness-related fatigue in, for example, cancer, rheumatic diseases or acquired brain injuries as well as any possible effect. Keywords: Occupational therapy, fatigue, patient education, self-management.

Abstract:
Localized muscle fatigue (LMF) is a complex, multifactorial phenomenon that involves exercise-induced decrements in the ability to generate force or power. LMF can adversely affect performance and may increase the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), and is thus of contemporary occupational relevance. Despite considerable progress in understanding and predicting muscle fatigue, there are many uncertainties and unresolved issues that are principally associated with the physiological complexity of LMF and the diverse mechanisms that underlie LMF development. This research thus aimed to address some of the theoretical and practical issues related to muscle fatigue and recovery. Regarding the theoretical aspects, two specific muscle fatigue models (MFMs) were directly compared and some important differences in their predictions were identified. These differences were used, in part, as a basis for developing testable hypotheses and designing associated experiments. Further theoretical evaluations were conducted to explore the sensitivity of these models to the model parameters and their ability to predict endurance time in both prolonged and intermittent exertions. Sensitivity to inherent model parameters was quantified, which was relatively high in conditions involving lower to moderate levels of effort. Further assessments indicated substantial variability related to model recovery parameters, which might be related to the inability of these MFMs in simulating the recovery process. From a practical viewpoint, the effect of cycle time on the development and consequences of LMF was determined during intermittent isometric exertions. A shorter cycle time led to less fatigue development as reflected by rates of change in perceived discomfort, performance, and muscle capacity. Lastly, the dependency of muscle recovery on these different histories of fatiguing muscle contractions was explored. How a muscle recovers appeared to depend only on the state from which it starts to recover, though not the exertion history that led to that state. In summary, results of these studies may help in enhancing our understanding of fatigue and recovery processes, and in improving existing models of muscle fatigue and recovery. More accurate predictions of LMF development may help in enhancing muscle performance and in reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and their associated healthcare costs.

Abstract:

Social workers witness tragedy on a daily basis, meaning they regularly face significant risks for mental and physical exhaustion, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue is a state experienced by those helping people or animals in distress; it is an extreme state of tension and preoccupation with the suffering of those being helped to the degree that it can create a secondary traumatic stress for the helper. Person-Centered Expressive Arts (PCEA) is a group process that facilitates therapeutic growth through integrated use of art, movement, writing, and music.

This mixed method case study examined the impact of a PCEA group process on compassion fatigue in social workers. Two research questions were examined: “What is the impact of PCEA group process on participants’ compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress?” and, “What other impacts do participants report resulting from the PCEA group process?” Five social workers with M.S. degrees and at least 3 years of full-time work experience and who self-reported feeling tired, depressed, and/or stressed as a result of their job participated in the study. The group process was conducted over four 3-hour sessions and included movement or meditation, a visual art activity, and group sharing. Compassion fatigue was assessed prior to the group process through an online compassion fatigue assessment.

During the group process, data were collected through the researcher’s direct observation and participant-observation, and participants’ art expression. After the group process, participants completed the online assessment again and took part in one in-depth interview that was audio-recorded and transcribed. Within- and cross-case analyses were produced to determine the effects of the group process on participants’ experiences of compassion fatigue.

Findings indicated that all participants suffered from compassion fatigue before the study began and, to a lesser degree, after the study ended. Four out of the five participants outlined ways that PCEA eased their compassion fatigue by helping them regain lost parts of themselves, release pent-up emotions and energy, and recognize anew the need for work-life balance and self-care.

These findings align with past research, which found that the use of expressive arts increased participants’ abilities to identify, voice, and understand emotions; discover intuitive and spiritual aspects of themselves; release energy; and improve problem solving. Future studies are advised to further expand the body of research on the specific impacts of these group processes for compassion fatigue in helping professionals.

Abstract:
Work-related low back disorders (WRLBDs) are common and costly in the U.S. and numerous interventions aiming to reduce WRLBD risk have been developed.  In one approach, training programs incorporating the work strategies (or work methods) of experienced workers have often been proposed as a training model or a behavior target of training.  However, both the specific role of work experience in contributing to WRLBDs and the effectiveness of such an intervention approach are not well understood.  In the current research, differential work strategies of experienced workers and associated WRLBD risk were identified, in the context of several common occupational activities.  Three experiments were completed, in which both experienced workers and matched novices participated.  These experiments involved relatively short duration repetitive lifts/lowers, more prolonged lifts/lowers that induced fatigue, and dynamic pushes/pulls.  Diverse aspects of work strategies were quantified, emphasizing torso kinematics/kinetics, balance maintenance, and/or torso movement stability.  During short-term repetitive lifts/lowers, experienced workers exhibited higher torso kinematics and kinetics, suggestive of a higher risk for WRLBDs, though better balance maintenance and torso stability were evident in this group.  Thus, experienced workers may trade off an increased risk for WRLBDs to achieve better balance and torso stability.  Fatigue modified work methods during repetitive lifts/lowers in both the novice and experienced groups, though the associated contribution to WRLBDs was unclear due to opposite changes in torso kinematics vs. kinetics.  More consistently, fatigue decreased balance maintenance during lifts/lowers.  Fatigue also modified work methods adopted by experienced workers, leading to higher torso kinetics, that were suggestive of a higher risk for WRLBDs during lifts/lowers.  For dynamic pushes/pulls, experienced workers used lower torso kinematics and kinetics, suggestive of a lower risk for WRLBDs.  As a whole, these results suggest that work methods are distinct between novices and experienced workers.  Further, work experience may not consistently reduce WRLBD risk, and the influences of experience may be task specific.  Such findings can help guide the development of future interventions, particularly training, targeting the control of WRLBDs.

Cavallaro, Liz. "Employee Wellbeing and Compassion Fatigue among Animal Caregivers| A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study." Thesis, The George Washington University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3740298.

Full text
Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of the experience of employee wellbeing and compassion fatigue (CF) in the animal care industry. According to Figley and Roop (2006) in Compassion Fatigue in the Animal-Care Community, compassion fatigue is found at every level among the caregivers in animal-related fields. Utilizing hermeneutic phenomenology, this study explored the experience of employee wellbeing (EW) and compassion fatigue via interviews with 11 participants who are paid, full-time employees from a diverse array of animal shelters. Data analysis followed van Manen’s (1990) description of the inventive thoughtful attitude, which takes place through an ongoing process of writing and reflecting throughout and after data collection to capture participant narratives.

The interpretation of the findings and incorporation of relevant literature led to the development of six key conclusions: 1. Personal History: Participants’ prior life experiences and personal histories are relevant to, and may have implications for, the experience of compassion fatigue. 2. Social Construct: Participant understanding of compassion fatigue is socially constructed, developed through comparisons to, interactions with and support from others. 3. Dirty Work: The perception of animal caregiving as a form of “dirty work” has consequences for the experience of employee wellbeing and compassion fatigue. 4. Three-Tier Approach: Participants use two frequently promoted strategies to combat compassion fatigue: self-care and compassion satisfaction, but they also engage in proactive behaviors, implying a three-tier approach to coping with and combatting CF and improving employee wellbeing. 5. Levels of Responsibility: Participants believe the responsibility to develop and employ appropriate solutions to address issues of compassion fatigue and employee wellbeing exists on three different levels: individual, organizational, and societal. 6. Primary Outcomes: Two primary outcomes are evident from the experience of compassion fatigue—if caregivers are unable to combat the syndrome, they may reach a breaking point and burn out of the field; alternatively they may overcome CF, continue in their work and thrive.

Implications for research, theory and practice are presented. A better understanding of CF will allow for more effective planning, preparation and intervention at each level of responsibility. The contributions of this study offer constructive ideas for both individuals and organizations to incorporate into their efforts to reduce CF, improve EW, and hopefully avoid burnout and turnover.

Abstract:
Many adults in the United States experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) within their lifetimes. Researchers have identified compassion fatigue (CF), which debilitates mental health providers as a result of being exposed to their clients' traumatic experiences, as an occupational hazard. The purpose of this study was to examine whether a correlation exists between the presence of CF and the level of resilience. A confidential survey using the Connors-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Professional Quality of Life Scale Version 5, and a demographic questionnaire were given to graduate-level mental health clinicians who self-identified as routinely working with and/or treating trauma victims in the past 6 months. Participants were recruited from the New England Society for the Treatment of Trauma and Dissociation, the Metropolitan Atlanta Therapists Network, Dallas Chapter NASW listserv, and the Georgia Therapist Network. A multivariate analysis on the collected data was conducted to determine whether a relationship exists between the resilience scale and the subscales of CF within these population samples. According to study findings, there is a correlation between resilience and the 3 compassion fatigue subscales---CF, burnout, and compassion satisfaction. This study may lead to positive social change by helping guide clinicians to find ways to enhance resilience, and therefore, decrease risks of CF.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Hjärntrötthet är en vanlig konsekvens efter stroke. Hjärntrötthet innebär att personen är mentalt trött och hjärnan orkar inte processa flera saker samtidigt vilket påverkar personens vardag. Hjärntröttheten kan beskrivas som en dold funktionsnedsättning och det kan vara svårt för personen samt omgivningen att förstå hjärntröttheten. Med hjälp av arbetsterapeutiska strategier så kan personer med hjärntrötthet lära sig att hantera sin trötthet och skapa en meningsfull fungerande vardag. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva erfarenheter av att leva med hjärntrötthet efter stroke samt arbetsterapeutiska strategier som underlättar vardagen för personer som lever med hjärntrötthet efter stroke. Metod: En litteraturöversikt valdes som metod. Datainsamlingen gjordes i fem databaser som innehöll vetenskapliga artiklar om medicin och hälsa. Åtta kvalitativa studier och en RCT-studie inkluderades efter inklusionskriterierna och kvalitetsgranskningen. Studierna analyserades i fyra steg och analysen resulterade i fyra kategorier. Resultat: Artiklarna kommer från olika länder, publicerade mellan 2008 och 2021 och samtliga deltagare var över 18 år. Analysen resulterade i fyra kategorier: Erfarenhet av hjärntrötthet, Vila och återhämtning, Anpassad miljö och Val av aktiviteter. Resultatet visade att deltagarna hade svårt att hantera vardagen och hjärntröttheten påverkade aktivitetsutförandet. Flera deltagare upplevde oro och rädsla för att drabbas av en ny stroke i framtiden. Slutats: Resultatet visade att personer som lever med hjärntrötthet upplevde svårigheter med att hantera vardagen och det påverkade personernas aktivitetsutförande samt deltagandet i sociala interaktioner. Flera av deltagarna i de granskade studierna uppgav att hjärntröttheten inte gick att vila bort och att det var svårt att veta när hjärntröttheten uppstod. Vidare så upplevde deltagarna att miljön påverkade hjärntröttheten både positivt och negativt beroende på vilken miljö de befann sig i. Litteraturöversikten visade att det fanns begränsad forskning om arbetsterapi och rehabilitering för personer med hjärntrötthet efter stroke. Arbetsterapeuterna hade en viktig roll i rehabiliteringen för att lära ut olika strategier för att hantera hjärntröttheten.
Background: Mental fatigue is a common consequence after a stroke. Mental fatigue implies that the person is mentally tired and the brain is not able to process several things at the same time, which affects the person's everyday life. Mental fatigue can be described as a hidden dysfunction and it could be difficult for the person and the surroundings to understand the mental fatigue. Strategies from occupational therapists can support people with mental fatigue to manage their fatigue and create a meaningful and functioning everyday life. Purpose: The purpose of the literature review was to describe experiences of living with mental fatigue after a stroke and occupational therapy strategies that make everyday life easier for people living with mental fatigue after a stroke. Method: A literature review was chosen as a method. The data collection was done in five databases that contained scientific articles in medicine and health. Eight qualitative studies and one RCT study were included according to the inclusion criteria and the quality review. The studies were analyzed in four steps and the analysis resulted in four categories. Results: The articles come from different countries, published between 2008 and 2021 and all participants were over 18 years old. The analysis resulted in four categories:  Experience of mental fatigue, Rest and recovery, Adapted environment and Choice of activities. The participants had difficulty coping with everyday life and the mental fatigue affected the activity performance. Several participants experienced anxiety and fear of suffering a new stroke in the future. Conclusion: The results showed that people living with mental fatigue had difficulty managing everyday life and it affected people’s activity performance as well as participation in social interactions. Several participants in the studies stated that the mental fatigue could not be rested and that it was difficult to know when the mental fatigue occurred. Furthermore, the participants experienced that the environment affected mental fatigue both positively and negatively depending on the environment they were in. The literature review showed that there was limited research on occupational therapy and rehabilitation for people with mental fatigue after stroke. Occupational therapists had an important role in rehabilitation to educate different strategies for managing mental fatigue.

The specific functional difficulties may include extreme fatigue, anxiety and shortness of breath due to advanced disease including metastatic spinal cord compression, fractures, or peripheral neuropathies. Patients may have problems with cognition and perception, body image, life role, and spiritual issues as well as physical disabilities. This chapter describes the broad range of areas in which the occupational therapist works in palliative care together with the interprofessional team. They take a key role in organizing and facilitating safe discharge and care at home, with the aim of achieving best quality of life and avoiding re-admission to hospital wherever possible. The occupational therapist analyses and assesses specific problems and provides a treatment programme or solution to help the patient remain as independent as possible, using clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice.

Abstract:
People with rheumatoid arthritis can find it painful, tiring, and frustrating to perform their daily activities, work, family and social responsibilities, and leisure. While drug therapy has improved outcomes, many still experience limitations in their daily lives. Occupational therapy aims to: improve clients’ abilities to perform their activities and participate in their social roles; reduce pain and fatigue; improve or maintain physical function; improve or maintain psychological status; help people self-manage their condition successfully and adapt to changes in their lifestyle; achieve a healthy work and personal life balance. People with participation restrictions have poorer psychological and physical outcomes. Helping people participate in their roles, as and when they wish to, is an important part of rehabilitation to maximize clients’ quality of life. Occupational therapists use a wide range of educational, physical, social, psychological, and work-related interventions to help people live their lives as successfully as possible.

Abstract:
This chapter presents information about the methods that combine physical and mental workload/fatigue during ergonomic evaluation. The methods were identified through a systematic literature review. The search criteria were done through a literature search in databases like SciFinder, SciELO, ScienceDirect, etc. As result, the following methods are described: Global Load Scale, Multivariate Workload Assessment, Subjective Fatigue Symptoms Test, Fatigue Assessment Scale, Scale of Recovery for Exhaustion of Occupational Fatigue, Scale of Estimated Fatigue-Energy Points, Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory, NASA-TLX, Combined Cognitive and Physical Assessment, Laboratory Method of Economics and Sociology of Work, OWL Method, Ergonomic Checklist Method, RENAULT Method, Joyce Method, NERPA Method, ARBAN Method, and MAPFRE Method. As a conclusion, it is possible to affirm that there are some evaluation methods that provide better elements for an accurate evaluation, and others lack basic elements, which causes an incomplete/not accurate evaluation.

Abstract:
Background: Fatigue is a significant health and safety-related problem among workers. In general, it decreases performance and physical strength, causing incidents and accidents in operational situations. During military activities, soldiers often encounter severe conditions, which combined lead to fatigue manifestations affecting their health and performance. Continuous monitoring of their overall health status would prevent its adverse effects. Objective: This work aimed to present the preliminary results of a retrospective assessment of military training physiological recordings using an alert-based fatigue detection algorithm to validate its accurate functioning. Methods: Three case studies from soldiers participating in military training tests were recruited for evaluation. The referred algorithm was developed to manage fatigue through the combined assessment of physiological variables and determine different fatigue levels warnings to advisetimely interventions and prevent potential health impact. Each examined case included the continuous recording of heart rate, breathing rate and core temperature. The algorithm translated physiological sensory data into minute alarms according to fatigue levels determined through the conjunction of normative and related research criteria. Results and Discussion: Outcomes revealed that the algorithm could evidence the different stages of training and the resulting physical demands on soldiers using their physiological response throughout the exercises. Retrieved fatigue alarms showed the high physiological cost of military practices and helped to overview the impact of each training period. Finally, results also demonstrated the importance of individual and contextualised assessment for accurately characterise the subject's fatigue status. Conclusions: It is concluded that the developed decision model can improve the management of real-time fatigue, allowing early detection of potential indicators of further physical impairments. Furthermore, it can lead to the enhancement of work-rest cycles, not only for tactical personnel but also for any safety-sensitive occupation. For future work, its validity will be tested through more participants, and other variableswill be added to improve its accuracy.

Abstract:
Work-related falls are still a major cause of injuries and fatalities, even after continuous efforts towards improving worker safety. Falls accounted for more than 20% of nonfatal occupational injuries and were the second leading cause of occupational fatalities in the United States [1,2]. Given projections showing an increasing number of workers over the age of 55 [3], the older population must be considered in assessing the risks and prevention of work-related falls.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to identify distribution of occupational diseases and related health complaints among health workers and also to detect employee apprehensions about availability of occupational health and safety issues in the workplace. The application area of this study is a private hospital subservient in Istanbul and accredited by JCI. Within the framework of this study, a survey which contains 8 queries about demographic and personal features, 12 queries about occupational diseases and related complaints and 24 queries about occupational health and safety issues is applied to health staff employed in variable departments and positions in this hospital. The reliability coefficient of this survey is found .816 (Cronbach’s Alpha). In the conclusion of this study; it is detected that the employee’s perception about the occupational health and safety issues in the workplace has a positive aspect. Moreover, arm and leg pains (%65.6), over-fatigue (%64.1), insomnia (%59.7) and presence of venous varicosises (%54.2) were the most determined diseases and complaints, which are considered as work-originated among healthcare workers. In accordance with findings, the privileged improvements about the problems in occupational health and safety issues in this hospital have been presented.
