“…These data are in line with the results of Watt et al [ 82 ] in the general Danish population without somatic disease. Although this level differs from that found by Bazazan et al [ 83 ] in a sample of petrochemical employees, these employees were subject to turnicity, working outside of regular hours.…”

The objective of this research is to identify the level of general fatigue (FG), physical fatigue (FF) and concentration/motivation (C/M) in sports coaches. Two components of grit, consistency of interest (CI) and perseverance in effort (PE), are also assessed. The possible effects of sex, age, marital status, employment contract, work dedication and grit on FG, FF and C/M in sports coaches are examined. This cross-sectional study analyses 335 sports club coaches (21.2% women, 78.8% male) with a mean age of 29.88 (SD = 9.97) years, at a significance level of p < 0.05 for all analyses. Different aspects of fatigue were determined using the Spanish translation of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 (IMF-20). The Grit-S scale was used to measure the ability to persevere, have passion and commit. The results indicated that men scored higher in FF, C/M and PE, while women obtained higher values in FG and CI. Non-contract coaches had higher FG, CI and PE, while coaches with contracts scored higher on C/M and FF. In conclusion, coaches with higher CI had higher FG, and high levels of PE were associated with low FG levels.

“…The results of this study complement the results of previous studies, which reported that marital status, education level, years of service, and mental health status of workers are significantly related to chronic fatigue syndrome [25]. The opposite report showed no correlation between demographic characteristics (age, body mass index, marital status, education level, and shift work) and work-related factors in oil and gas industry workers in Iran [26] and Malaysia [27]. Work fatigue for female workers at Holland with a high education level had 44% higher odds of reporting high WRF when compared with women with a low or intermediate level of education [9].…”

Background: Work fatigue plays a large role in all industries in terms of performance, work safety, and work productivity. Oil and gas is an industry with a high level of occupational safety and health risks. Research of work-related fatigue is needed to detect critical risk factors early in order to prevent the adverse effect of work-related fatigue. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the prevalence of work fatigue in oil refinery workers at one of the oil refinery companies in Indonesia, and analyze the factors that influence it. Design and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 224 oil refinery workers. Questionnaire and work-related fatigue scales were used to assess demographic characteristics and work-related fatigue. A medical examination was applied to assess the health status of workers based on blood pressure, body temperature, and respiratory rate. The sound level meter and heat stress meter was used to measure noise and work climate. Cramer’s V correlation was applied to identify correlations between work-related fatigue and other parameters. Results: Work-related fatigue of 100% was found among workers, with categorized as low, medium, high, and very high in 9.38, 53.57, 30.35, and 6.7% of the workers, respectively. Work-related fatigue was significantly correlated with working period (p=0.028), health status (respiratory rate) (p=0.018), noise exposure (p=0.000) and work climate/heat stress (p=0.001). Conclusion: The companies should improve the health status of workers, reduce workload for aging workers, control noise, and control heat exposure in the workplace.

“…Overall Fatigue. Ratings on Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20), which assesses five fatigue dimensionsgeneral fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced motivation, reduced activity, and mental fatigue, were reported to be high with shift workers (Bazazan et al, 2019;Bazazan et al, 2014;Rasoulzadeh et al, 2015). Two additional multidimensional fatigue surveys included the SOFI, which measures physical exertion, physical discomfort, lack of motivation, sleepiness, and lack of energy, and the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery (OFER), which measures chronic fatigue, acute fatigue, and inter-shift recovery.…”

Oil and gas extraction (OGE) and petrochemical workers are prone to fatigue due to shiftwork, circadian rhythm disruption, and workload. Currently, there is not a standard set of worker fatigue assessment methods developed to address the constraints in this industry. A systematic review was conducted to 1) identify and categorize fatigue assessment methods, 2) compare the effectiveness of identified methods, and 3) provide recommendations for use in this industry and future research. A total of 20 articles were selected for this review. The findings show that studies used subjective questionnaires (100%), task performance (35%), and physiological measurements (5%) as main fatigue assessment methods. Subjective questionnaires (measuring sleepiness and sleep quality), actigraphy, and task performance were effective at capturing fatigue levels. Finally, this review recommends that subjective questionnaires be employed to assess worker fatigue and supplement them with objective measurements, such as actigraphy (sleep quality) and Psychomotor Vigilance Task (task performance).
