Summary

This project aims to evaluate the impact of relaxation sessions conducted using a virtual reality device on the sleep quality of night-shift healthcare workers.

Interventions

DEVICE

Arm 1: Experimental (VR) Intervention: Virtual reality sessions

During the virtual reality period (1 month), the participant receives a VR headset and an actigrapher, provided by a Registered Nurse Practitioner (RNP). A training session is organized and scheduled following enrollment. The participant will keep the VR headset and actigrapher at home for one month. The devices will be collected by the night shift supervisor at the end of the usage period. A paper sleep diary will be provided to assess sleep quality.

DEVICE

Arm 2: Control (No VR / Standard Care)

Intervention: No virtual reality or standard care Description: Participants do not undergo virtual reality sessions during this period. The sleep-wake rhythm will be analyzed using an actimeter.
