Read More INTRODUCTION: Some working and organizational conditions, such as psychological stress andshift work, are factors that threaten the health of staff working in health centers. These factors cancause fatigue in a long time. Fatigue reduces the ability to process information and decrease torespond to hazardous conditions and will affect the safety of the environment. Therefore, the purposeof this study was to determine the relationship between safety climate and occupational fatigue innurses working in Zabol city.METHODS: This cross‑sectional study was performed on 143 nurses working in educational hospitalsof Zabol in 2019. The proportional sampling method was used, and the Swedish OccupationalFatigue Questionnaire and the Nurses Safety Questionnaire were used for data collection. Datawere analyzed using independent t‑test, analysis of variance, Mann–Whitney, Kruskal–Wallis tests,and SPSS‑21 software.RESULTS: In the present study, 57.3% were women and 42.7% were men. The mean score ofoccupational fatigue was 85.09 ± 41.49, and the mean score of safety climate was 67.15 ± 12.73. Thereis a significant inverse relationship between occupational fatigue and safety climate. The comparisonof safety climate and its subscales between occupational and demographic variables showed that thescore of male supervisors’ attitude was 01.36 ± 2.41 while the score of female supervisors’ attitudewas 8.88 ± 2.61, and this difference was significant. Furthermore, cumulative burnout, the attitude ofsupervisors, and the safety climate were significantly different between different educational levels.CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that there is a relationship between occupationalfatigue and safety climate.
