Introduction: Workers often overlook fatigue, and this is also true for their families, worker groups, and managers at the workplace. Fatigue is often viewed as a minor health issue that can be addressed by resting. The goal is to identify the advantages of BUGAR nursing interventions in addressing work fatigue among manufacturing shift workers in Karawang Regency. Methods: This research was designed in quantitative research with a pre-experimental design, with one pre-test and post-test design. The research was carried out at Rejang Lebong Hospital from August to November 2020. 51 workers were chosen using non-random consecutive sampling techniques. Results: The average knowledge of the workers increased from 70.45 to 75.10, attitude improved from 70.16 to 75.86, and skills increased from 67.43 to 74.08. Meanwhile, the level of work fatigue decreased from the previous average value of 67.43 to 22.69. The paired t-test results revealed that the p-value for the variables of knowledge, attitude, skills, and work fatigue is 0.000, indicating that the p-value is <0.05. Conclusion: The BUGAR innovation intervention has a notable impact on the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and reduction of work fatigue in the worker group.
