In order to evaluate caregiver’s fatigue during daily care work, an investigation was carried out in Chinese nursing house. 100 employees from four different nursing houses including day and night working shift were selected in random for sampling survey. And the fatigue situation was evaluated applying Japanese “subjective fatigue symptoms” (new edition of 2002) and “Tired body parts” questionnaires in field question-answer form. Collecting “subjective fatigue symptoms” questionnaire results were analyzed, which showed that caregiver’s fatigue degree at the end of working day is more serious with larger scores than that of the beginning, especially caregiver in night shift displayed more fatigue in blurry vision and languidness. The aim of this work is to get a good knowledge of caregiver’s fatigue situation basically and put forward some effective measures and necessary assisted device to adjust to Chinese nursing house development.
