Samples were chosen from the 217 intensive care units nurses working in 13 general hospitals which had 3 shift rotating systems, Data were collected from November to December in 1999. Two hundreds seventeen respondents were classified by 3 circadian types such as 59 morning, 110 middle and 48 evening. Circadian type was measured by the circadian type scale which was designed by Ostberg and Home (1976). in order to estimate the level of tiredness, the investigator used the fatigue checklist designed by the Labor and Health Institute of Japan(1970). Analysis was done by frequency a percentages, x test and repeated measures ANOVA test.

The result of this study were as follow:

2. According to the 3 types of fatigue signs the highest general tendency was General weakness and feeling of headsore for physically perceived sign, Drowsiness for psychological sign, and Uncomfortableness in sight seeing for neurosensorv sign.

3. The most frequently complained fatigue were observed in physical symptoms among physical, mental, and neurosensual symptoms. The percentage of complained was higher after night work than before the work started.

4. There was not any statistical significant difference between the circadian type and the degree of physical, mental, neurosensory fatigue.
