The SleepTrackTXT2 Randomized Trial With Air-medical Personnel (SleepTrack2)
Real-time Fatigue Mitigation With Air-medical Personnel: The SleepTrackTXT2 Randomized Trial
The overarching goal of this proposal is to address the MedEvac foundation priority of educational techniques and technologies and improve Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) safety by determining if overall sleep quality and intra-shift fatigue of HEMS clinicians can be improved with real-time assessment and intervention.
Aim 1: To determine the short-term impact of an enhanced SleepTrackTXT intervention on HEMS clinician fatigue reported in real-time during and at the end of shift work.
Aim 2: To determine the long-term impact of the SleepTrackTXT intervention on sleep quality and sleep health indicators including hours of sleep and recovery between shift work.

Descripción detallada
The investigators will examine short term impact by examining self-reported fatigue captured at the start, during, and end of scheduled shifts.
The investigators will determine longer-term impact on sleep quality by comparing scores on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) taken at baseline and then again at 4 months.

Experimental: SleepTrackTXT2
Participants will receive text-message based assessment during shift work (intra-shift) and between shifts (inter-shift).
Participants in the experimental group that report high levels of fatigue, sleepiness, or difficulty with concentration during shift work (intra-shift) will receive tailored text-messages promoting adoption of behaviors that can improve alertness.
Participants will also receive a summary of their sleep debt once a week and suggestions for paying back sleep debt.
Participants will also have access to a graphic summary of their sleep hours over previous 30-days.

Sin intervención: Text-Message Assessments Only
Participants in the non-intervention group/arm will receive text-message based assessment during shift work (intra-shift) and between shifts (inter-shift).
The inter-shift assessments will query the participant about his/her sleep hours, fatigue, sleepiness, and difficulty with concentration.
No intervention messages sent to this group/arm.

Medidas de resultado primarias
Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
---|---|---|
Sleep Quality
Periodo de tiempo: 4 months
|
Measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); Scores range from 0 to 21.
Higher scores indicate poorer sleep quality.
Scores >6 indicate poor sleep quality.
|
4 months
|
Medidas de resultado secundarias
Medida de resultado |
Medida Descripción |
Periodo de tiempo |
---|---|---|
Fatigue During Shiftwork
Periodo de tiempo: Every 4 hours up to 12 hours within work shifts
|
Single item measure of fatigue taken at beginning, every 4-hours, and at the end of shifts.
Scores range from 0 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much); higher scores indicate more fatigue.
|
Every 4 hours up to 12 hours within work shifts
|
Sleepiness During Shiftwork
Periodo de tiempo: Every 4 hours up to 12 hours within a work shift
|
Single item measure of sleepiness taken at beginning, every 4-hours, and at the end of shifts.
Scores range from 0 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much).
Higher scores indicate more sleepiness.
|
Every 4 hours up to 12 hours within a work shift
|
Difficulty With Concentration During Shiftwork
Periodo de tiempo: Every 4 hours up to 12 hours at end of work shift
|
Single item measure of difficulty with concentration taken at beginning, every 4-hours, and at the end of shifts.
Scores range from 0 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much).
Higher scores indicate more difficulty with concentration.
|
Every 4 hours up to 12 hours at end of work shift
|
Inter-Shift Recovery
Periodo de tiempo: 4 months
|
The Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale Inter-shift Recovery Subscale.
Scores range from 0 to 100.
Scores 50-100 imply moderate to high recovery.
|
4 months
