Abstract
Fatigue is one of the problems that often observed in workers in the industrial sector. It does not mean that workers in other sectors do not have the possibility to experience fatigue. Lecturers have heavy responsibilities with complex work, thus it is important to observe fatigue in lecturers. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the work fatigue of lecturers at the Faculty of Health Science, Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study was a quantitative research with a cross-sectional study design. We selected 38 respondents using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using questionnaires by online and offline during April - June 2022. The results showed that 39.5% of respondents have moderate and high levels of work fatigue. The analysis indicates that there was a relationship between sleep quality (p-value = 0.003), health conditions (p-value = 0.030) with work fatigue. Meanwhile the other variables such as age, gender, nutritional status, working period, exercise habits, personality type, and workload did not have a relationship with work fatigue. In this study, we found that it is important to consider the individual factors. The quality of sleep among lecturers may be influenced by workload. Therefore, it is recommended the lecturers should maintain sleep quality and health conditions to prevent the severe work fatigue. For further research, it is suggested to observe the factors that affect the quality of sleep in lecturers.
