Summary

This trial aims to test a new personalized telehealth program called "SWISH" that uses media to help shift workers sleep better.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for nurses in Oregon, aged 18-65, who work night shifts or rotating shifts including nights at least three times a week and have been doing so for over three months. Participants must have internet access, be able to read/write in English, consent to the study, expect to continue shift work, and report poor sleep. Excluded are those on certain medications or treatments affecting sleep, with substance abuse issues or severe psychiatric conditions.

What is being tested?

The 'SWISH' program is being tested as a telehealth intervention aimed at improving sleep health among shift workers. It's personalized and uses media through devices like smartphones or computers to help manage the unique challenges of shift work-related sleep disturbances.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention primarily involves behavioral strategies and use of digital media rather than medication, side effects may include discomfort with technology use or stress from adapting new routines but no direct medical side effects are expected.
