The CFS scores of the nurses who said "Yes" to all physical problems evaluated in this study were found to be significantly higher (p < .05). Nurses' work-related fatigue is recognized as a threat to nurse health and patient safety. By providing adequate staffing levels to frontline nurses in the COVID-19 pandemic, nurse managers can effectively reduce or prevent pandemic fatigue and improve their physical health.
