Background. In a healthy person fatigue is a normal phenomenon, experienced by everyone and usually easily relieved by rest or sleep. Increased sleepiness at work is increasingly being focused on a safety health issue. However, research on lecturer�s fatigue is very limited and has not been fully addressed. Objectives: This study was aimed to analyze the efficacy of fatigue-controlled training program to reduce objective and subjective fatigue and increase knowledge of fatigue among university teachers. Methods: A quasi experimental design was used to examine the efficacy of fatigue-controlled training among university teachers in intervention and control groups. As many as 37 teachers from intervention group and 40 teachers from control group completed T1 (baseline) and T2 (follow-up) data on knowledge, subjective fatigue using an item subscale of Self-Diagnosis Checklist for Assessment of Workers� Accumulative Fatigue and reaction timer for objective fatigue using reaction timer Lakassidaya L77. Results: The results of repeated measured analysis of variances showed that fatigue-controlled training program was associated with higher knowledge and lowered subjective fatigue and reaction time compared with control group. Significant main effects of fatigue-controlled training on knowledge, subjective and reaction time were revealed. After controlling for all covariates, the repeated measured analysis of variances showed significant main effects of fatigue controlled training program on knowledge and subjective fatigue. Conclusions: Fatigue-controlled training program reported in this study was efficacious to enhance university teachers� knowledge about fatigue and occupational health and safety at a work place. After traininguniversity teachers experienced lower subjective fatigue and reaction time. This program may be considered as an initial strategy for occupational safety and health program in education setting to reduce subjective fatigue particularly among university teachers. The training should be conducted frequently to enable university teachers controlled their fatigue.
