Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This present study has been conducted on female workers’ shorter working hours in order to look into their fatigue level and the correlation between fatigue and working hours.
Methods: We surveyed 237 respondents using a questionnaire from June 1st to June 20th, 2005.
Results: The means of total fatigue complaint was 3.45. The fatigue level was significantly higher in the lower age group, unmarried group, manager group and shorter working duration group. And the fatigue level was significantly correlated to working hours and work intensity. In the results of stepwise multiple regression, factors affecting the fatigue level were the change of work intensity, age, regular diet habit, working hours and the type of occupation.
Conclusion: It is necessary to prepare the health promotion programs, which can reduce female workers’ fatigue level and relieve the intensity of their works.
