The criteria of the Centers for Disease Control were applied. One hundred and eighty-three nurses and 18 healthcare workers (mean age 29.04 +/- 5.31 years) participated. More than half of cases (n = 116, 57.7%) complained of fatigue. Thirty-six cases (17.9%) fully matched the criteria of the CDC for CFS. High income level (> $400/month) (p = 0.005) and overworking (> 8 hr/day) (p = 0.017) had a significant effect on CFS [high income (OR: 9.60, CI, 95%: 1.98 - 46.54) and overworking (OR: 7.66, CI, 95%: 1.44 - 40.92), respectively]. CFS was also related to being under 35 years old.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChronic Fatigue SyndromeStressWorkloadHealth OccupationsHealth PersonnelTurkeyArticle365585590WOS:0002594590000022-s2.0-5314914250110.2224/sbp.2008.36.5.585Q3Q4
