“…As a result, the issue of the increase in nurses' fatigue cannot be ignored [11,24,25]. An assessment of the previous studies on nurses' fatigue shows that they focused mainly on physiological and psychological factors such as work flow, and organizational and management structures [11,26,27]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, related studies have indicated that nurses' fatigue is increasing, but the cause for this increase has been attributed mainly to longer working hours, higher workload, and psychological stress [28,29].…”

BACKGROUND: The continuous spread of COVID-19 globally has led to busier medical practices and nurses are having to provide medical services to patients while suffering from high levels of fatigue. OBJECTIVE: This study experimentally investigated the influence of different levels of personal protection equipment (PPE) on nurses’ physical fatigue. METHODS: We collected data from 12 participants by simulating a series of nursing tasks. The participants wore one of three different protection levels of PPE, and data recording their heart rate (HR), oral temperature, task completion time, and subjective fatigue were collected. Following this, relationship models between subjective fatigue and objective fatigue indices was established using multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS: By analyzing the variation trends of single indices of HR, oral temperature, task completion time, and subjective fatigue, it was found that the higher the level of protection levels of PPE worn by the participants, the higher the degree of fatigue experienced by them. In addition, taking subjective fatigue variation as the dependent variable and objective fatigue indices as independent variables, relationship models of the three different protection levels of PPE were established. CONCLUSIONS: The results confirmed the influence of different protection levels of PPE on nurses’ physical fatigue levels. They also provide a basis for medical administrators to monitor the degree of fatigue experienced by nurses, attempt to arrange nurses’ work content accordingly, and schedule suitably to combat and manage recorded increases in fatigue.

“…Some of them have tried to collect and analyze near misses through a near-miss trigger tool, which is less time consuming, more objective, and accurate. 32,33 Some have applied advanced remote sensing and monitoring technologies, the Internet of Things, and data mining to facilitate the identification, collection, analysis, and visualization of real-time near miss data and the formation of counteractive measures. 34,35 8.…”

The aim of this study was to depict a comprehensive description of near miss research and clarify research gaps. BACKGROUND: Learning from near miss can provide early warnings and is critical for proactive and prospective risk management. Because of the lack of structured reviews, there is little knowledge about how near miss management has been managed in the past. METHODS: This review was conducted following the Arksey and O'Malley's methodology and reported by the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. RESULTS: Sixty-seven research articles were included. The results revealed that the most investigated fields include near miss reporting, near miss characteristics, and good catch project. Poor theoretical investigation, underreporting, and inconsistent outcome indicators are major problems. CONCLUSIONS: Solely understanding causes of near misses cannot guarantee effective learning; we also need to apply appropriate learning theories. Advanced technologies should be applied to solve longstanding underreporting issues. Accurate and consistent indicators should be applied in near miss research and management.

“…Because of the fatigue associated with extended work hours, there is a concern for job performance and patient safety. Westley et al investigated the impact of nurse's weekly work hours and medication administration near-miss error alerts (Westley et al 2020). With over 9 million medication administrations within a two-year period, the sample of more than 5,000 nurses triggered 420,706 near-miss alerts (such as off-schedule administration, different dose, inactive order scanned, etc.).…”

Putting together a special issue amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic posed unusual challenges for authors, reviewers, guest editors, editors, and journal and publishing staff. As each of us dealt with illness, working from home or unstable jobs, changes to childcare arrangements, caring for family and friends, and other strains-we are deeply appreciative of the effort that went into putting this double issue together. We are proud to present the final product and hope that it serves to inform readers, pose new research questions, and build the overall body of work comprising the science of shiftwork and working time. Working time arrangements During the present COVID-19 pandemic, flexible working time arrangements have gained significant attention.
