Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objectives of this study are to better understand the association between sleep characteristics (sleep disruptions and deprivations) during overnight shifts and mental fatigue among medical residents, and to explore the feasibility of a virtual, tailored exercise program on sleep characteristics, subjective mental fatigue, and burnout level among residents in family medicine.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of the proposed study is two-fold: 1) to better understand the association between sleep characteristics (sleep disruptions and deprivations) during overnight shifts and mental fatigue among medical residents; and 2) to explore the feasibility of a three-week tailored, virtual exercise program on sleep characteristics, subjective mental fatigue, and burnout level among residents in family medicine. It is hypothesized that: 1) the greater the number of average sleep disruptions, and the greater the sleep deprivation, the greater the acute mental fatigue during overnight shifts reported by the family medicine residents; 2) the number of average sleep disruptions and the magnitude of sleep deprivation are greater during overnight shifts than non-overnight shifts among family medicine residents; and 3) a three-week tailored virtual exercise program will significantly increase the amount of physical activity throughout the day and reduce the levels of mental fatigue and perceived burnout during overnight shifts.

Questionnaires

Intervention Type OTHER

Once each participant signs an informed consent form upon agreeing to participate in the study, they will be asked to complete a simple demographic questionnaire including year in program, work schedule, self-reported height and weight, age, and sex. They will also be interviewed by a faculty of university of Wisconsin-Eau Claire (UWEC) regarding their current and past exercise habits, exercise preferences, and perceived exercise barriers. Two questionnaires listed above (Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery (OFER 15) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)) will also be completed by each participant on Qualtrics online platform.

Actigraph and activPAL devices

Intervention Type OTHER

Actigraph and activPAL devices will be set up based on the demographic information and will be provided to each participant to wear for 7 consecutive days during all waking hours and sleep, except when bathing or swimming. If the first 7-day monitoring period was an overnight inpatient week, the second 7-day monitoring period will be scheduled during a non-overnight week. A day before the first day of the second monitoring period, a new set of Actigraph and activPAL devices will be delivered to each participant. Once the second monitoring period ends, devices will be retrieved from each participant, and data will be downloaded from devices.
