Results: Mean and standard deviation of Mental Fatigue Scale was 13.24±7.21 and 20.7% of nurses have not mental fatigue, 67% of theirs experienced slight mental fatigue, 11.8% fairly serious and 0.5% of participants have reported serious mental fatigue. Reliability coefficient of mental fatigue scale is obtained 0.72 and 0.82 using retest and Cronbach's alpha respectively. There were significant relationship between mental fatigue score with number of shifts per month and shift work.
