Perceived fatigue after mental work : and experimental evaluation of a fatigue inventory / E. Ahsberg, F. Gamberale and K. Gustafsson
The aim of this study was to investigate the perceived fatigue after mental work and to test the Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI). Twenty male and 20 female participants worked with proof reading (2 x 90 min.) and a vigilance task (2 x 60 min). After each task session, perceived fatigue was rated with the SOFI and Borg's CR10-scale. High ratings after both work task were also founds on the CR 10-scale. Men and women did not differ significantly with respect to their ratings. No clear-cut physiological reactions were found to correlate with ratings of fatigue. The results indicate the validity of the mental dimension of the SOFI
