Interventions to Promote Well-being of Nightshift Nursing Team Members
NCT05722249 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Background: Nightshift health care employees can experience greater likelihood of health threats such as weight gain, hypertension, and sleep disturbances. Evidence indicates a willingness of nightshift health care professionals to engage in wellness activities initiated at the work setting and during the assigned nightshift. In this single site study at a freestanding pediatric tertiary care hospital, inpatient units will be randomized to one of two nightshift interventions during an 8-week study period (mindfulness plus sleep hygiene or physical activity plus sleep hygiene). Immediately following the first study period, the randomized units will begin a second study period in which they will continue with the intervention first received but shall add the intervention not initially received. While there are hundreds of studies that describe the adverse health and safety effects of night shift work, there are few studies where interventions are tested for their efficacy to reduce the harm to workers or improve their well-being. Currently the few intervention studies that exist focus on the scheduling, duration and timing of work shifts, the timing of meals, and aspects of lighting in the workplace. Other interventions, such as those proposed in this study, have not been tested systematically using a rigorous design. Purpose and Methods: The purpose of this study, using a cluster cross-over randomized trial design, is to measure the impact on professional quality of life (primary endpoint) and medication administration error, role-related meaning, and sleep quality (secondary endpoints) of either a mindfulness intervention plus sleep hygiene (Arm A) or a physical activity intervention plus sleep hygiene (Arm B) in the first study period, and the combination of both interventions on the same outcomes in the second study period for nightshift health care employees.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05722249
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05722249 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 87 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Children's National Research Institute, which has 114 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Professional Quality of Life appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Mindfulness and Sleep Hygiene is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05722249 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include District of Columbia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
