Intervention to improve sleep health for shift workers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to pilot test a personalized telehealth intervention called SWISH, designed specifically for night shift nurses suffering from insomnia. Participants will receive a multicomponent behavioral therapy based on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, delivered via telehealth sessions lasting 30-60 minutes. The study will randomize participants into either the SWISH intervention group or a delayed treatment control group, where they will receive assessments but no active treatment until the delay period ends. The intervention targets the unique sleep health challenges faced by shift workers, aiming to enhance their overall sleep quality and health.
