WELL_NURSE Trial Summary

This trial will look at how exercise can help shift-working nurses improve their mental, physical, spiritual, and occupational health.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for acute care nurses aged 21-65, working shifts at AdventHealth, who are weight stable and speak English. They must consent to participate and commit to a 12-week exercise program. Excluded are pregnant women, those with certain chronic diseases or recent major surgery, participants in other drug studies within the last month, individuals with cardiovascular issues or malignancies not deemed cured (except some skin cancers), anyone exercising more than once weekly or diagnosed with sleep disorders.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study examines how a structured 12-week exercise program affects mental health and overall well-being of shift-working acute care nurses compared to a group waiting to start the program. It's randomized: by chance, nurses will either start exercising right away or be placed on a wait-list.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves an exercise intervention rather than medication, side effects may include typical responses to new physical activity such as muscle soreness, fatigue or injury if exercises are performed improperly.
