NCT ID NCT07520058

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether reducing registered nurses' work hours by about 3 hours per week (with no pay cut) improves their work-life balance, health, and desire to stay in their jobs. About 190 nurses from elderly care and home care will answer surveys before and after the change. The goal is to see if shorter hours can help solve staffing shortages and improve care quality.
