The study aims to assess the prevalence, contributing factors, and consequences of work-related fatigue, considering gender differences, cultural influences, and religious factors. The proposal includes a comprehensive literature review, research questions, objectives, and hypotheses, as well as detailed methodology, including study design, sampling techniques, and data collection methods like semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. Ethical considerations, such as consent, confidentiality, and data analysis plans, are also addressed. The research seeks to identify effective fatigue management strategies and address the challenges faced by nurses in the Jordanian healthcare system, especially concerning the impact of gender and culture on nursing roles and experiences.
