Abstract
The study was developed on the backdrop of understanding the rising cases of nursing fatigue and the resulting implications. First, existing literature demonstrates that nursing fatigue has wide reaching implications such as medical errors, risk to patients’ safety and health, as well as an impact on the nurses’ individual health. Based on these consequences, it was imperative to explore on the fatigue levels and as such formulate a basis for developing coping strategies. Although the subject has widely been evaluated in different jurisdictions, there exists a shortage of studies that specifically focus on the Middle East (Jordan), and which explore the impact of gender and culture on the fatigue levels. These were the strategic focus areas and existing situations that informed the study development.
