Abstract
Research has shown that shift workers experience relatively poor sleep and increased fatigue, and that these effects are associated with adverse impacts on the workers themselves, as well as their work quality (eg, safety incidents, decreased performance). While considerable research has been performed on fatigue, including on risk management and intervention strategies, little research has been conducted in the field of emergency medicine, especially with emergency physicians (EPs). Given this dearth of knowledge on EP fatigue, a qualitative study with EPs was conducted, with the goal of gaining insight into physicians’ perceptions of fatigue at work.
