Official title: Effectiveness of Virtual Mindfulness Combined With Brief Structured Breathing Training on Perceived Stress, Burnout, Sleep Quality, and Cognitive Function Among Rotating-Shift Nurses: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile- and virtual reality-based mindfulness and breathing intervention on stress, burnout, sleep quality, and cognitive function among Rotating-shift nurses. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: (1) health education control group, (2) mobile-based mindfulness only, (3) mobile-based mindfulness combined with brief structured breathing, and (4) virtual reality-assisted mindfulness combined with brief structured breathing. The intervention will last for 8 weeks, with participants practicing 5 times per week for 10 minutes per session. Primary outcomes include perceived stress, burnout levels, sleep quality, and cognitive function.
Read the detailed description
Rotating-shift nurses often experience high levels of chronic stress, occupational burnout, and disrupted sleep patterns, which can negatively affect their cognitive function and well-being. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of technology-assisted mindfulness and breathing interventions in addressing these issues.
A total of four groups will be included in this randomized controlled trial:
- Control Group (CG): Participants will receive a weekly electronic health education manual for 8 weeks. Topics include healthy eating habits, balanced nutrition, the physiological impact of shift work, sleep hygiene for shift workers, the effects of electronic devices on sleep, and identifying sources of stress. No mindfulness or breathing content is included.
- Mobile-based Mindfulness Group (MMG): Participants will engage in guided mindfulness practice via a smartphone application, using a pre-recorded 360-degree nature video.
- Mobile-based Mindfulness with Breathing Group (MMBG): Participants will follow a similar protocol as MMG, with the addition of brief structured breathing exercises embedded in the training.
- Virtual Reality-based Mindfulness with Breathing Group (VMBG): Participants will wear a VR headset and immerse themselves in a virtual nature setting while engaging in combined mindfulness and structured breathing training. All intervention groups will complete 10-minute sessions, five times per week, for a total of eight weeks.
Primary outcome measures include: Perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale, PSS-10-C), Occupational burnout (Nursing Burnout Scale), Sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI) and Cognitive function (including attention and memory tasks). Assessments will be conducted at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at follow-up. This study will provide insights into the comparative effectiveness of mobile and immersive digital interventions for improving mental health and physiological functioning in Rotating-shift nurses.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Chinese version of the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10-C )
This scale assesses how unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloaded individuals perceive their lives to be. It contains two subscales: perceived helplessness and perceived self-efficacy. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). The scale has demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.85) and good test-retest reliability (r = 0.66, p < 0.001) over three months in Chinese-speaking nursing samples.
Measured: Data will be collected at baseline (pre-intervention), 4 weeks, 8 weeks (post-intervention), and 12 weeks (follow-up)
Perceived Stress -Safety Culture Subscale.
This measure uses the "Perception of Stress" subscale from the Taiwan version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ), which includes four items that assess healthcare professionals' awareness of stress and its effects on performance. One item is reverse-coded. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Subscale scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale using the formula: Transformed score = (mean score - 1) × 25. Higher scores indicate greater perceived stress. This transformation supports standardization and enables comparison across domains.
Measured: Data will be collected at baseline (pre-intervention), 4 weeks, 8 weeks (post-intervention), and 12 weeks (follow-up)
Nursing Burnout Scale (NBS)
This scale was developed for clinical nurses and evaluates emotional exhaustion, reduced personal accomplishment, and depersonalization. It includes 12 items across three subscales, with four items per subscale. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The total scale has demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.92) and acceptable subscale reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.64-0.86), indicating good psychometric properties for use among nursing professionals.
Measured: Data will be collected at baseline (pre-intervention), 4 weeks, 8 weeks (post-intervention), and 12 weeks (follow-up)
Secondary outcomes (6)
Actigraphy-Based Sleep Quality Index
A composite sleep quality score derived from multiple actigraphy-based parameters including total sleep time, sleep efficiency, number of awakenings, and sleep onset latency. Each parameter will be normalized and weighted based on validated sleep scoring algorithms (e.g., Sadeh algorithm), and then aggregated into a composite index to represent overall sleep quality. Higher scores indicate better sleep.
Measured: Data will be collected at baseline (pre-intervention), 4 weeks, 8 weeks (post-intervention), and 12 weeks (follow-up).
Sleep quality. Taiwanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-TC )
This outcome measure uses the Taiwanese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-TC) to evaluate participants' sleep quality. The PSQI-TC includes 19 items across seven domains: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. Each item is scored from 0 to 3, and total scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality. The scale has demonstrated strong internal consistency, with Cronbach's α ranging from 0.83 to 0.85, and is culturally adapted for use among shift-working nurses in Taiwan.
Measured: Data will be collected at baseline (pre-intervention), 4 weeks, 8 weeks (post-intervention), and 12 weeks (follow-up)
Cognitive Function - Visual Pursuit Test (VTS-LVT)
This test evaluates visual orientation performance and spatial scanning ability under time pressure. The outcome will include accuracy rate and average reaction time (in milliseconds).
Measured: Data will be collected at baseline (pre-intervention), 4 weeks, 8 weeks (post-intervention), and 12 weeks (follow-up).
Cognitive Function - Determination Test (VTS-DT)
This test assesses reactive stress tolerance and decision-making performance under time constraints. The outcome measures include number of errors and average reaction time (in milliseconds).
Measured: Data will be collected at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks (post-intervention), and 12 weeks (follow-up).
Cognitive Function - Signal Detection Test (VTS-SDT)
This test measures sustained attention and the ability to distinguish relevant signals from distractors. Key outcome variables include hit rate, false alarm rate, and attentional stability.
Measured: Data will be collected at baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks (post-intervention), and 12 weeks (follow-up).
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Measured via BVP using Thought Technology System
Heart rate variability (HRV) will be measured non-invasively using the Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) sensor of the Thought Technology system (ProComp Infiniti hardware and BioGraph Infiniti software). HRV data will be collected using photoplethysmography (PPG), and derived from inter-beat intervals (IBI). Analysis will include both time-domain indices (e.g., SDNN, RMSSD) and frequency-domain indices (e.g., LF, HF, LF/HF ratio). The assessment will be conducted in accordance with international standards for HRV evaluation and will reflect both sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic activity. Participants will undergo HRV assessment at Weeks 0 (baseline), 4, 8, and 12 as part of their stress and recovery evaluation.
Measured: Baseline (Week 0), Week 4, Week 8, Week 12

The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile- and virtual reality-based mindfulness and breathing intervention on stress, burnout, sleep quality, and cognitive function among Rotating-shift nurses. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: (1) health education control group, (2) mobile-based mindfulness only, (3) mobile-based mindfulness combined with brief structured breathing, and (4) virtual reality-assisted mindfulness combined with brief structured breathing. The intervention will last for 8 weeks, with participants practicing 5 times per week for 10 minutes per session. Primary outcomes include perceived stress, burnout levels, sleep quality, and cognitive function.
Detailed description
Rotating-shift nurses often experience high levels of chronic stress, occupational burnout, and disrupted sleep patterns, which can negatively affect their cognitive function and well-being. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of technology-assisted mindfulness and breathing interventions in addressing these issues.
A total of four groups will be included in this randomized controlled trial:
- Control Group (CG): Participants will receive a weekly electronic health education manual for 8 weeks. Topics include healthy eating habits, balanced nutrition, the physiological impact of shift work, sleep hygiene for shift workers, the effects of electronic devices on sleep, and identifying sources of stress. No mindfulness or breathing content is included.
- Mobile-based Mindfulness Group (MMG): Participants will engage in guided mindfulness practice via a smartphone application, using a pre-recorded 360-degree nature video.
- Mobile-based Mindfulness with Breathing Group (MMBG): Participants will follow a similar protocol as MMG, with the addition of brief structured breathing exercises embedded in the training.
- Virtual Reality-based Mindfulness with Breathing Group (VMBG): Participants will wear a VR headset and immerse themselves in a virtual nature setting while engaging in combined mindfulness and structured breathing training. All intervention groups will complete 10-minute sessions, five times per week, for a total of eight weeks.
Primary outcome measures include: Perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale, PSS-10-C), Occupational burnout (Nursing Burnout Scale), Sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI) and Cognitive function (including attention and memory tasks). Assessments will be conducted at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at follow-up.
