简要总结
This project aims to evaluate the impact of relaxation sessions conducted using a virtual reality device on the sleep quality of night-shift healthcare workers. The intervention specifically targets the immediate post-night-shift period, a critical time for recovery, by offering immersive guided relaxation experiences designed to reduce anxiety and promote both mental and physiological relaxation.
详细描述
Paramedical staff working night shifts are particularly exposed to sleep disorders and psychological difficulties due to the length and organization of their working hours. The ANSES report highlights the central role of anxiety, both as a consequence of night work and as a factor that worsens sleep disturbances.
In response to this situation, the GHU Directorate of Nursing, in collaboration with Occupational Health, the CHRONOS team, and the pain specialist physician, has initiated a reflection on preventive actions aimed at better addressing the vulnerability of healthcare professionals. The objective is to provide concrete responses to psychological distress and the high levels of stress experienced by healthcare workers, which have been further intensified by the health crisis.
Within this framework, it is proposed to specifically address immediate post-night-shift sleep disturbances by implementing a relaxation program using a virtual reality application. This non-pharmacological approach aims to reduce anxiety and improve recovery among paramedical professionals working night shifts.

研究组 & 干预措施
control comparator.
The participant receives the actigraph again and maintains their usual bedtime and sleep-onset routine, completing the paper sleep diary for sleep quality after each waking.
The PSQI scale is measured on the first day (D1) and again after the last night (D30).
The sleep-wake rhythm will be analyzed using an actimeter.
干预措施: Arm 2: Control (No VR / Standard Care) (Device)
Arm 1: Experimental (VR)
Intervention: Virtual reality sessions
Description: Participants undergo virtual reality sessions during this period. The sleep-wake rhythm will be analyzed using an actimeter. The sleep-wake rhythm will be analyzed using an actimeter.

结局指标
主要结局
Compare the evolution of sleep quality of paramedical professionals assessed by the PSQI scale, with or without intervention, (cross-over design).
时间窗: 15 months
The PSQI provides a score ranging from 0 to 3 for each of the seven components, as well as an overall sleep quality score ranging from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality. The PSQI self-administered questionnaire is used in research and clinical practice to assess sleep quality before and after pharmacological treatment or behavioral therapy in order to measure the impact of the intervention on individuals' sleep.
次要结局
- Severity of sleep disorders: ISI,(15 months)
- Level of Anxiety: GAD-7(15 months)
- Level of anxiety and depression: QIDS(15 months)
