Abstract

Introduction: Nowadays, fatigue is known as an occupational hazard that are impairing workers’ performance due to modernisation era whereby sedentary office based work are required. However, there are insufficient large population studies among working population especially office workers. A gold standard is also not available to measure fatigue in Malaysia. Objective: A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between sedentary behaviour (SB), work factors and sleep quality with fatigue among government office workers. Methodology: 126 government office workers in Putrajaya were randomly selected, aged within 20 to 60 years old. The PSQI was used to assess sleep quality while OFER15 were used to measure fatigue. Pedometer and OSPAQ were used to measure SB. Results: There were 41 male and 85 female office workers who worked for 8 hours per day and used computer at least for 7 hours in workplace. Our findings illustrated that 34% of office workers had higher fatigue while 66% of the office workers had better recovery ability. SB did not significantly associated with fatigue. Having poor sleep quality, longer computer usage and being single significantly correlated with higher level of fatigue and lower recovery ability at (p<0.05) level. Conclusion: In sum, marital status, using computer for too long and having impaired sleep influenced fatigue among government office workers. Keywords: Fatigue, sedentary behaviour, sleep quality, sitting, office workers
