Résumé
The aims of this study were to explore nurses' fatigue levels and sleep measures during two 12-hour consecutive day shifts and examine the relationships between nurses' fatigue levels within shifts and their previous-night sleep characteristics. Monitoring changes in fatigue and sleep is important to enable effective fatigue management. This was a descriptive, repeated-measures study. Data were collected using surveys and actigraphy 4 times during each consecutive shift (7:00 am-7:30 pm). General fatigue levels started trending up 4 hours after the start of work; highest levels were reported at 7:30 pm. Fatigue levels accumulated across consecutive shifts. Subjective sleep quality was higher the night before the 2nd shift than the night before the 1st shift. Nurses' poor sleep the night before a shift was related to increased fatigue levels during the next shift. It is important to consider when fatigue management interventions will be most effective and to consider previous-night's sleep when monitoring fatigue.

OBJECTIVE
The aims of this study were to explore nurses' fatigue levels and sleep measures during two 12-hour consecutive day shifts and examine the relationships between nurses' fatigue levels within shifts and their previous-night sleep characteristics.
BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Monitoring changes in fatigue and sleep is important to enable effective fatigue management.
METHODS
METHODS
This was a descriptive, repeated-measures study. Data were collected using surveys and actigraphy 4 times during each consecutive shift (7:00 am-7:30 pm).
RESULTS
RESULTS
General fatigue levels started trending up 4 hours after the start of work; highest levels were reported at 7:30 pm. Fatigue levels accumulated across consecutive shifts. Subjective sleep quality was higher the night before the 2nd shift than the night before the 1st shift. Nurses' poor sleep the night before a shift was related to increased fatigue levels during the next shift.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
It is important to consider when fatigue management interventions will be most effective and to consider previous-night's sleep when monitoring fatigue.
