ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring how a 4-day work schedule affects the wellbeing and job performance of nurse managers. Researchers want to find out if working fewer days leads to less stress, better sleep, and more physical activity, compared to those who work the usual 5-day schedule. They will also check if the satisfaction levels of nurse managers, patients, and the quality of care provided differs between the two groups.
To participate, you need to be a registered nurse manager who is at least 18 years old, works full-time, and oversees more than 40 staff members at UCLA Medical Centers. Participants will start by learning about the study, wearing a special ring that tracks their activity and sleep, and completing online surveys at the beginning, after three months, and after six months. This trial is currently looking for volunteers, and it promises to provide valuable insights into how work schedules impact healthcare professionals' lives.
