“…Epidemiological studies have shown that physical activity during leisure time reduces the risk of experiencing feelings of fatigue [34]. However, more field studies involving healthcare practitioners are needed to investigate the effectiveness of these countermeasures [35].…”

Fatigue has major implications on both patient safety and healthcare practitioner's well-being. Traditionally, two approaches can be used to reduce fatigue-related risk: reducing the likelihood of a fatigued operator working (i.e. fatigue reduction), or reducing the likelihood that a fatigued operator will make an error (i.e. fatigue proofing). Recent progress mainly focussed on fatigue reduction strategies such as reducing work hours. Yet it has to be recognized that such approach has not wholly overcome the experience of fatigue. Our purpose is to investigate individual proofing and reduction strategies used by emergency physicians to manage fatigue-related risk. 25 emergency physicians were recruited for the study. Four focus groups were formed which consisted of an average of six individuals. Qualitative data were collected using a semi-structured discussion guide unfolding in two parts. First, the participants were asked to describe how on-the-job fatigue affected their efficiency at work. A mind map was progressively drawn based upon the participants' perceived effects of fatigue. Second, participants were asked to describe any strategies they personally used to cope with these effects. We used inductive qualitative content analysis to reveal content themes for both fatigue effects and strategies. Emergency physicians reported 28 fatigue effects, 12 reduction strategies and 21 proofing strategies. Content analysis yielded a further classification of proofing strategies into self-regulation, task re-allocation and error monitoring strategies. There is significant potential for the development of more formal processes based on physicians' informal strategies.

“…Given the safety risks that sleep inertia presents, a number of studies have investigated potential countermeasures to minimize the duration and severity of sleep inertia (Hilditch et al, 2016). Proactive countermeasures (i.e., countermeasures performed prior to waking), such as coffee consumption prior to sleep, have been shown to successfully eliminate sleep inertia after 2-h naps (Van Dongen et al, 2001).…”

“…A potential sleep inertia countermeasure that has been proposed, but not yet tested, is performing exercise upon waking (Hilditch et al, 2016). The purported efficacy of exercise in the minutes following waking is borne from its stimulation of many of the physiological mechanisms that are suppressed upon waking.…”

“…A number of factors have been researched in an attempt to further understand and manage SI , of which include awakening countermeasures; also referred to as reactive countermeasures (21), environmental factors (3), and experimental manipulation (1). Awakening countermeasures have been researched in several contexts and themes, which may be considered as extensions or augmentations of ubiquitous human behaviours and routines.…”
