Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Bädda för Kvalitet

A group-administered preventive programme focusing on beneficial strategies for sleep and recuperation, in relation to work related stress and shift work. The intervention was based on knowledge from previous research on sleep, stress and work hours, as well as on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques for sleep and stress management, modified for shift workers. Participants were encouraged to discuss and reflect on personal habits related to sleep and recovery. As homework between sessions, the participants were encouraged to try possibly beneficial strategies for sleep and recuperation. All participants got written material covering the content of the session, during each sessions. In addition, an adapted version of a biomathematical model ("ArturNurse") was used to give participants an estimation of expected sleep lengths and fatigue levels together with tips of possible strategies to optimise sleep in relation to different shifts.
