Development and initial validation of Healthcare Worker Occupational Fatigue Scale: a cross-sectional study
This study demonstrated the robust reliability and validity of the newly developed HWOFS. These initial findings support the potential of HWOFS as a tool for healthcare institutions to establish fatigue warning systems, optimize human resource allocation, and develop occupational health protection policies. However, further validation in larger healthcare populations is required before broader application.
