Summary

This is a randomized, wait-list control pilot study to analyze the impact of a 12-week exercise training intervention on post-traumatic growth and whole-person well-being (mental health, physical health, spiritual well-being, perceived social support, and occupational health) among shift-working acute care nurses within AdventHealth.

Detailed description

This study has five phases: Phase I: Screening; Phase II: Baseline Assessments (Pre-Intervention); Phase III: Exercise training; Phase IV: Post-Intervention; and Phase V: Repeat assessments at 3-months and 6-months post-intervention. Phase I (90 minutes): This phase consists of reviewing and obtaining consent, screening for inclusion/exclusion criteria, reviewing study details, and assessing the need for medical clearance to participate in the exercise intervention, and a single blood draw for fasted blood profiles. Phase II (7 hours): Upon successful screening, all participants will complete baseline assessments. Phase III (Exercise Training Group 34 hours/Wait-List Control 4.5 hours): Upon completion of Phase II, participants will be randomized to the exercise training intervention group or the wait-list control group. Phase IV (7 hours): All participants will enter a post-intervention phase that includes repeat assessments of Phase II outcomes. Phase V (\~2 hours): A subset of psychometric questionnaires will be repeated 3- and 6-months post-exercise training intervention to ascertain sustainability of the intervention. \*Subjects randomized to the wait-list control group will be offered the exercise training intervention upon completion of the Phase V assessments.
