RECRUITING

Improving Night Shift Nurses' Health and Reducing Burnout

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Healthy and happy nurses are essential to ensuring optimal patient outcomes and organizational success. The evidence on the negative impacts of night shift on nurses' health and cognitive function, and their implications on patient outcomes and organizational costs, reflect the need for interventions to mitigate these detrimental outcomes. This pilot, feasibility, clinical trial will examine the feasibility of two fatigue countermeasure interventions (access to napping/relaxation room and use of blue/green light blocking glass during night shift) and explore the interventions effects on nurses' health, missed care, and burnout.
