NCT ID NCT07247708
First seen Dec 10, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at whether wearable technology, like the Oura Ring, can help measure stress and burnout in nurses. Fifty nurses from intensive care and surgical units will wear the rings and fill out surveys for 10 weeks. The goal is to see if workload and stress levels are linked to physical signs like heart rate and sleep. Findings could guide future efforts to protect nurse well-being and reduce turnover.
