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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal patterns that lead to burnout in nurses, helping hospitals design better support programs to keep nurses healthy and on the job.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 50 nurses from one hospital. It is designed to test methods, not to prove any solution. Results may not apply to other settings.
