Mizzou Nurse Workload and Well-Being Study
Sponsor: University of Missouri-Columbia
Summary
This observational study will evaluate the feasibility of linking nursing workload to burnout and physiological well-being among acute care nurses. Researchers will collect data from three sources: hospital workforce management software, wearable health devices (Oura Rings), and validated surveys. Fifty nurses from intensive care and medical-surgical units at a level one trauma center will participate. The study will also include interviews to better understand workplace stressors. Findings will help identify patterns that contribute to burnout and guide the development of future interventions to support nurse well-being and improve workforce retention.
