What Role Can Employers Play in Reducing Daytime Fatigue?
Employers have a significant role in addressing daytime fatigue in the nursing workforce. By implementing policies that promote well-being, such as: - Limiting the length of shifts and ensuring an adequate number of days off between shifts. - Providing access to rest areas where nurses can take short naps during breaks. - Offering wellness programs that include fitness classes, mental health resources, and nutritional counseling. - Encouraging a culture of openness where nurses can report fatigue without fear of retribution.
