The measurement of fatigue in clinicians within hospital settings: A systematic review of measurement properties.

Medical staff fatigue leads to accidents and mistakes and puts patient safety at risk. A measure of fatigue in the workplace may help to quantify, predict, and manage fatigue. This review aimed to evaluate instruments used to measure fatigue in medical staff within hospitals.

Measurement of fatigue in clinicians within hospital settings: a systematic review protocol of measurement properties.

Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate measurement properties of instruments used to measure fatigue in clinicians within hospital settings.

Introduction: Research has shown that clinician fatigue leads to accidents and mistakes, and puts patient safety at risk. The problem of managing fatigue in clinicians may need a more complex approach than only restricting work hours.

Fatigue and measurement of fatigue: a scoping review protocol.

The objectives of this review are to identify and present definitions of fatigue and theoretical, conceptual and mechanistic models of fatigue, and to identify the commonly used instruments that measure fatigue in humans and the settings in which they are used.Specifically, the review questions are.

The measurement of collaboration within healthcare settings: a systematic review of measurement properties of instruments.

Background: There is a growing call by consumers and governments for healthcare to adopt systems and approaches to care to improve patient safety. Collaboration within healthcare settings is an important factor for improving systems of care. By using validated measurement instruments a standardized approach to assessing collaboration is possible, otherwise it is only an assumption that collaboration is occurring in any healthcare setting.
