简要总结
This observational study will evaluate the feasibility of linking nursing workload to burnout and physiological well-being among acute care nurses. Researchers will collect data from three sources: hospital workforce management software, wearable health devices (Oura Rings), and validated surveys. Fifty nurses from intensive care and medical-surgical units at a level one trauma center will participate. The study will also include interviews to better understand workplace stressors. Findings will help identify patterns that contribute to burnout and guide the development of future interventions to support nurse well-being and improve workforce retention.

结局指标
主要结局
Acceptability
时间窗: Enrollment
Acceptability is evaluated based on the number of people who were approached to participate in the study compared to the number of people who agreed to participate. Reported as a percentage rate.
Data completion rate
时间窗: Enrollment through 10 weeks
Reported as percentage rate of complete data obtained at baseline, 5 weeks, and 10 weeks
Retention rate
时间窗: Enrollment through 10 weeks
Reported as a percentage rate reflecting the number of participants participating at study completion compared to the number of participants participating at study commencement.
Heart rate
时间窗: Enrollment through 10 weeks
Reported as a numerical value reflecting beats per minute.
Heart rate variability
时间窗: Enrollment through 10 weeks
Reported as a numerical value in (milliseconds)
Sleep duration
时间窗: Enrollment through 10 weeks
Reported as the total sleep time (hours and minutes)
Sleep score
时间窗: Enrollment through 10 weeks
Reported as a numerical value (index value) ranging from 0-100
Resilience score
时间窗: Enrollment through 10 weeks
Reported as a numerical score (composite index value) ranging from 0-100
Patient Acuity score
时间窗: From enrollment through the end of 10 weeks
The Oracle Health Workload Management Clairvia system operationalizes patient acuity in terms of the intensity of care provided by nursing staff and allows for the direct care time required per patient to be quantified. This allows capture of RNs' workload across the working shift, creating an individualized utilization value that can reported as a numerical value (score).
