Zen den trial aims to beat nurse burnout with cozy rooms and music
NCT ID NCT07018609
First seen Jun 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two simple ways to help nurses and healthcare staff feel less stressed at work: a relaxing 'Zen Den' room with soft lighting and calming scents, and short music therapy sessions. About 300 employees and students at Penn State Health will try these options and report if they feel more energized, less isolated, and better able to handle challenges. The goal is to see if these easy-to-set-up interventions can make a real difference in workplace burnout.
