Abstract

COVID-19 Fatigue Human resource management Labor shortages Nurses Occupational health Pandemics Staffing Work environment Workforce planning Workloads Workplaces
For nurses, the challenges posed by demanding work environments and schedules often lead to fatigue, and this can be exacerbated during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, the authors discuss causes and challenges of nurse fatigue and consider several evidence-based strategies and solutions for individual nurses and organizations. Barriers to implementation, including a negative workplace culture and inadequate staffing, are also described, and several resources are presented.
