Fatigue Clinical Trial
Official title:
Measuring Fatigue in Triage: A Pilot Study
The purpose of this study is to determine how the length of a triage shift (i.e. 4 vs., 8 vs., 12 hours) affects fatigue levels among triage nurses in the Emergency Department (ED).
This will be a prospective descriptive pilot study. The demographic data forms and the
adapted reaction questionnaires will be administered to subjects via pen and paper after
obtaining informed consent at the conclusion of the staff meetings. They will be collected
by administrative assistants and placed into a secure drop box, located in the study
coordinator's office. Only the assigned unique subject ID will be used on all data forms.
During the ED triage data collection phase, administrative assistants will be on-site to
give triage nurses the fatigue questionnaire. It will be completed using pen and paper every
two hours, with subjects cued to complete the questionnaire by administrative assistants.
After the subject completes the survey, he/she will place it in an envelope and hand it to
the administrative assistant who will place it into a secured drop box, located in a study
coordinator's office. No PHI or identifying data will be on the completed surveys. Each
participant will only use the previously assigned unique subject ID, known only to the study
coordinator & Co-PIs, & PI. The key to the unique ID will be kept in a locked secure file
accessible only by the study coordinator and Co-PI.
Data will be collected over a total of six 24-hour periods. The first 24-hour data
collection period will take place on a high volume day (Monday) in which triage nurses will
be assigned to 12-hour triage shifts. The second 24-hour data collection period will take
place on a low volume day (Sunday) in which triages nurses will again be assigned to 12-hour
triage shifts. The third 24-hour data collection period will take place on a high volume day
(Monday) in which nurses will be assigned to 8-hour triage shifts. The fourth 24-hour data
collection period will take place on a low volume day (Sunday) in which nurses will again be
assigned to 8-hour triage shifts. The fifth 24-hour data collection period will take place
on a high volume day (Monday) in which nurses will be assigned to 4-hour triage shifts. The
sixth 24-hour data collection period will take place on a low volume day (Sunday) in which
nurses will again be assigned to 4-hour triage shifts.
