| dc.description.abstract | Work-related fatigue can occur in all workers across all sectors. Work fatigue can also happen among workers in the emergency response field. The interview results with the on-duty officers found that 7 out of 8 officers experienced symptoms of fatigue. This study employs an analytical approach with a cross-sectional research design and quantitative research methods. The sample in this study consisted of 46 disaster management personnel. Fatigue was measured objectively using a reaction timer and categorized into low, moderate, and high work fatigue levels. Workload was measured using Lee’s Job Boredom Scale questionnaire, circadian rhythm was measured using the rest time utilization questionnaire, health conditions were measured using the health condition assessment questionnaire, and nutritional status was measured using the 24-hour food recall questionnaire. The results of the study showed that disaster management officers experienced high fatigue levels in 2 officers (4,3%), moderate work fatigue in 17 officers (37%), and low work fatigue in 22 officers (47,8%). Spearman Rank Correlation test results indicated no relationship between mental workload (p value = 0,486), whereas there were relationships between circadian rhythm (p value ≤ 0,000), health condition (p value ≤ 0,001), and nutritional status (p value ≤ 0,002) with work fatigue among officers. Officers should be able to utilize the given days off to truly rest in order to be able to work again. | en_US |
