Abstract

|
|
Purpose : This study investigated the variables affecting the level of work-induced subjective fatigue status in optometrists and provided basic data that could help plan for minimizing work-induced fatigue.
Methods : A survey was conducted in 261 optometrists on both on-line and off-line bases to compare the areas of subjective fatigue status by the general characteristics and determine the effects of eight job-related characteristics on subjective fatigue.
Results : Women were at a higher level of Fatigue 1 (feel sleepy and languid) and Fatigue 2 (difficulty in attention) than men; the younger and shorter the working career, higher the level of Fatigue 1. Fatigue 1 was very likely to be perceived during work, and Fatigue 2 before work. A strong negative correlation was found between Fatigue 1 and health status and between Fatigue 2 and health status and interpersonal relationships. The greater the improvement in fatigue occurring during work and longer the work career, lower the level of Fatigue 1; the better health status and interpersonal relationships, lower the level of both Fatigues 1 and 2.
Conclusions : This study suggested developing a coping-strategy program to help optometrists promote their health and improve their interpersonal relationships through regular exercise and recess with the objective of reducing their work-induced fatigue.
