Detailed Description

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the personal characteristics and work characteristics of shift nurses and occupational burnout, sleep quality and physical and mental health. Use " acupressure " as an intervention to compare the status of shift nurses before and after intervention and to track after interventional therapy, 1, 2, and 3 months of longitudinal results. Use the "Smart Care VIP bracelet" to detect physical and mental conditions (psychological stress, physical fatigue) to assess the applicability of the Smart Care VIP bracelet as a "Shift Care Staff Sleep Quality, Physical and Mental Health and Occupational Burnout Management System" and evaluate effectiveness, and establishment of an effective management system.

Most studies in China have shown that the use of acupressure to improve the sleep quality of nursing staff generally has its efficacy, but the lack of research at proves that acupressure is used by nursing staff to improve sleep quality and improve occupational burnout. It is expected to be from May to December 2020. The nursing staff of a medical center in Taipei will be selected for stratified sampling. The conditions for receiving the case are shift nurses who have served in the institution for more than one year. Subjective sleep is assessed using Epworth sleepiness scale. The objective part is to use the "Smart Care VIP Bracelet" to measure sleep time; Chinese version of the Chinese Health Questionnaire-12 (CHQ-12) and occupational burnout scale questionnaire as a tool for discussion. It is planned to randomly assign shift nurses to 42 acupressure groups and control group (sham), and use activity record (Smart Care VIP bracelet) to monitor and record fatigue Index and stress changes.
