Projects
Fatigue in nurses (Stand Hiestand, Bjørn Bjorvatn, Siri Waage, Ståle Pallesen, Ingeborg Forthun).
This PhD project is researching fatigue in nurses using the Survey of Shiftwork Sleep and Health (SUSSH). Among other factors, the project investigates if fatigue is associated to various shift work schedules (i.e. night work), physical and psychological issues, and the relationship between fatigue and sleep. In a longitudinal study we are examining factors that may explain why nurses develop or recover from excessive fatigue.
