What this trial measures

  • AcceptabilityEnrollment

    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 rateEnrollment through 10 weeks

    Reported as percentage rate of complete data obtained at baseline, 5 weeks, and 10 weeks

  • Retention rateEnrollment 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 rateEnrollment through 10 weeks

    Reported as a numerical value reflecting beats per minute.

  • Heart rate variabilityEnrollment through 10 weeks

    Reported as a numerical value in (milliseconds)

  • Sleep durationEnrollment through 10 weeks

    Reported as the total sleep time (hours and minutes)

  • Sleep scoreEnrollment through 10 weeks

    Reported as a numerical value (index value) ranging from 0-100

  • Resilience scoreEnrollment through 10 weeks

    Reported as a numerical score (composite index value) ranging from 0-100

  • Patient Acuity scoreFrom 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).
