Description
Introduction: Nurses experienced high physical workloads, which may
increase the risk of fatigue and musculoskeletal complaints. Nurse’s
workplaces, especially hospitals, have not gained serious concern and
attention for this issue.
Methods: This study was an analytic observational study with a cross
sectional design aimed to analyze the workloads, fatigue, and
musculoskeletal complaints among associate nurses at Bangli General
Hospital, Bali. A total of 46 respondents filled out the research
questionnaire given.
Results: Based on the NASA-TLX calculations, the associate nurses’
workloads are found to be in the moderate level with the largest
indicators on the PD (Physical Demand) and Performance (OP) Scale. By
using the Nordic Body Map Questionnaire, most of the respondents had a
low risk regarding musculoskeletal complaints and the most of
musculoskeletal complaints were felt in the right and left calves, waist
and back. The results of the analysis on the 30 items of self-rating test
questionnaire found that most nurses experienced fatigue in a low
category (57.45%) and only a small percentage of nurses experienced
high fatigue category (8.51%).
Conclusion: Workloads, fatigue, and musculoskeletal complaints need
further investigations to get better understanding of the cause in order to
get better solutions.
