Fatigue: A Sociodemographic Study

People should be punished for not taking action in a life and death situation. In the article the author, Jay Sterling Silver, believes that civil liability should be established for everyone everywhere. I somewhat agree with his point because it’s the right thing to do but that’s not always the case. During a life and death situation people tend to panic and when they do they start to lose control because they are torn between taking action or calling 911 but it might be too late for that. People will act without precaution in an emergency or some will not act at all because they’re scared they might make the situation worse than what it is.

In this study, I believe the independent variables are the stage of illness of the patient, spiritual well-being, and gender. The dependent variable fatigue during the cancer treatment. In the setting and subject description, the selection criteria had inclusion, and exclusion criteria. Within the inclusion criteria, every one of the participants had to be 18, or older, and have active cancer related treatment with a cancer diagnosis with either a palliative or curative intent, willing to participate in the study. The criteria that was excluded were those individuals whom had completed the cancer treatment those whom only received treatment only palliative care.

There are barriers to CRF occurring at the patient, professional and system levels. The patients barrier is due to the patient believing that their fatigue is not important, that it is inevitable or untreatable. Patients usually do not consider fatigue as a valid problem to complain about to their providers. Even when patients communicate an overwhelming or severe fatigue, they are not sure about the process that care health care providers will use to diagnosis their fatigue (Borneman, 2007). Barriers at the professional levels, include a lack of knowledge about the complex nature of fatigue. Also there is lack in literature agreement about the definition of fatigue, it’s causes, effects and remedies used for fatigue management. Usually health care providers focus on managing pain and nausea because they interfere with quality of life but fatigue is not considered one of these symptoms that needs to be addressed.

Fatigue is a growing concern for law enforcement agencies, especially when it comes to officers that work second jobs (Doerner, 2012). Another concern would be officers using their sick time to work a second job, thus causing staffing issues for the agency (Doerner, 2012). Depending on the type of secondary employment, there could also be a conflict of interest further concerning the law enforcement agency (Doerner, 2012).

As I suffer from Moderate Fatigue, I find staying awake very difficult no matter the amount of sleep I do or do not get. To help with this I take natural tablets as mentioned before. I get mine from Holland and Barrett’s, and as it is all natural it causes no harm. I highly suggest this, but if you dislike tablets there are other methods to help fatigue.

Hunsaker et al. (2015) clearly discussed the statistical tests that were used in the study. The data was analyzed by the Statistical Package for Social Science, a series of Pearson r correlation, t test and a one-way analysis of variance. The results of the study were sufficiently presented in Table 1, which used the Stepwise solution for analysis.

     A person’s general feeling of wellness is affected. One may become easily tired, fatigued, and wake up stiff in the morning. Everyday chores

To begin, the first solution to fatigue is to take a daily nap. Laying down to sleep once a day has amazing healing properties. A snooze of twenty to thirty minutes during the day can

Ensuring the safety and integrity of the U.S. National airspace system is contingent on ensuring consistent and reliable performance of the Air Traffic Controllers ultimately charged with the safety and security of that system. Aviation is a very safety critical industry that is fundamentally reliant on the people who interact and operate within the system. People are human and subject to fatigue. Managing the effects of fatigue is a large part of managing people and their performance. In order to manage fatigue, a working understanding of the risks to performance that fatigue poses must be attained.

The background of fatigue is quite familiar to many individuals especially if this individual is involved in a sport, any extracurricular activity, or perhaps if they just exercise. Fatigue is not being able to maintain a constant force during continuous muscle contractions (Powers and Howley, 2012). These fatigue symptoms can be a sudden onset and then progress. Studies of fatigue have evolved tremendously over time and more causes have been discovered. It was discovered that fatigue may begin in one area but it may transcend further down the line. The problem when it comes to fatigue is that it does not just affect one area it can affect many. The recovery time may be severe as well.

I walked over to the edge of the tennis court, trying to recollect my thoughts. The heat was unbearable and my exhaustion was apparent. I felt a tiny strain in my quad, but shrugged it off as if it was nothing. This was not the time to fall victim to fatigue, or even my body; this was the time to win.

I appreciate the article because it offers background on my question. It shows people have been curious about drawbacks of working too much for more than one-hundred years. Although the study was done very well, I can’t help but to question a few aspects. In subsection 1, it says“lost time through sickness was sometimes attributed to the fatigue following long hours of work” (Pencavel 8). I want to know their process for choosing what was due to excessive work and what got thrown out as “natural sickness.” I also want to know how they could tell the difference between fatigue and working less to maintain the worker’s high pay. Another confounding factor would be that the nation was in a war. How much did patriotism affect the employee’s work

From all 81 samples 48(59.3%) one were male and 33(40.7%) one were female. 20(24.7%) sample were in the 20-39 age group, 34(42%) one were in 40-59 age group and 27(33.3%) one were older than 60 years old. Also 25.9% weren’t being able to read and write and 33.3% had heart disease and 43.2% had diabetes. The distribution between two groups of Hemodialysis and peritoneal patients was already equal. (Table 1)

Data was recorded and analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science SPSS v.11. Correlation studies and ANOVA used for statistical analysis. The P-value less than 0.05 considered as statistically significant.

The objective of this chapter is to describe the procedures used in the analysis of the data and present the main findings. It also presents the different tests performed to help choose the appropriate model for the study. The chapter concludes by providing thorough statistical interpretation of the findings.
