Sleep, mindfulness, and shift safety in recovery room nurses
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how sleep and mindfulness affect the safety and quality of care that nurses provide during their shifts in perianesthesia or recovery room settings. If you join, you'll track your sleep and mindfulness habits and researchers will observe certain safety-related tasks during your regular shifts to see if there's a connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a registered nurse currently working in perianesthesia or PACU (recovery room) care areas at the study hospital.
- You are directly involved in bedside patient care during your shifts (not purely administrative).
- You are available to be followed across several of your regular shifts and can complete the study questionnaires each time.
- You are willing to provide written informed consent.
- Your regularly scheduled shifts must include at least one safety-critical care process (like handoffs or medication checks) during the study period.

This study looks at how anesthesia nurses manage their workload during different stages of surgery. Researchers will observe and measure how busy nurses feel while they care for patients under anesthesia, which could help improve training and safety in operating rooms.
This study tests whether non-invasive sleep monitoring can help identify burnout and retention risk in new nurses. It may help you understand how your sleep affects your job satisfaction and career plans.
This study uses special brain recording to see how fatigue from demanding hospital shifts affects attention in healthy adults. You might help researchers understand fatigue risk and how attention changes during emergency or intensive care work.
This trial uses mobile technology and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help night shift nurses improve their sleep and reduce fatigue. If you work night shifts and have a smartphone, you may be eligible to join.
This study uses sensors to track your sleep patterns. If you work fixed night shifts, researchers want to learn how to better measure your sleep.
