Data related to a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a virtual reality mindfulness intervention for nurse managers in an academic medical center

High levels of chronic and recurrent workplace stressors can profoundly impact the physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being of the health care workers. Research and interventions specially related to various mindfulness-based interventions have been shown to be beneficial at countering the negative effects of workplace stressors in the healthcare environment. While these interventions have primarily focused on front line healthcare workers, nurse managers have received less attention. In this randomized controlled trial, a sample of nurse managers and assistant nurse managers employed across an academic medical center were randomized into intervention and wait-list control groups. According to their assigned group, they engaged in a commercially available virtual reality mindfulness intervention (TRIPP) during their work day, three times a week for 15 minutes. Over the course of an eight week period, participants in each group engaged with the virtual reality mindfulness in..., Consent and baseline questionnaires, PSS-10, MBI-HSS, CD-10, and UWES-9, for all participants (both Intervention and Wait-List control groups) were completed prior to initiation of the intervention for the Intervention Group, via the participant’s smartphone or computer, accessed via a REDCap link.
Participants in the Intervention Group (treatment group) received a VR headset, instructions on use of the VR headset, hand controllers, and the virtual reality mindfulness program; contact information for questions, concerns, or discomfort with the virtual reality technology and software was provided to each participant by a member of the research team. Intervention Group participants were instructed to use the virtual reality mindfulness intervention three times a week during work hours; weekly participation occurred within their worksite office space.
At the end of the first eight-week intervention period, all participants (both Intervention and Wait-List Control groups) completed the PSS-..., # Data related to a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a virtual reality mindfulness intervention for nurse managers in an academic medical center

Title of Dataset: A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Impact of a Virtual Reality Mindfulness Intervention for Nurse Managers in an Academic Medical Center

#### Description of the data and file structure

The csv files contains the study data corresponding to Demographics and Quantitative Outcomes Data. The .R file contains the R Statistical Software code used for analysis of outcomes for PSS-10, MBI-HSS, CD-10, UWES-9

* Record ID - Subject Study ID

Demographics:

* Age range- range of participant (in years). Includes ranges 21-30 years, 31-4..., All study participants signed an institutional IRB-approved study consent before participation. The consent included the statement: \"If you consent to be in this study, your de-identified information (your survey responses) may be used or shared for future research without your additional consent and may be posted to a public repository for study replication or manuscript publication. Information that could directly identify you will never be included.\"This submission reflects the raw dataset that includes de-identified demographic indicators (age, race/ethnicity, number of direct reports from REDCap-exported to Excel) for intervention and wait-list control groups of nurse managers and assistant nurse managers who participated in an eight-week worksite virtual reality mindfulness intervention. The responses (number) for each outcome measure question align with the Likert scale range specific to each measure; this de-identified file can be used freely.

长期且反复出现的高水平工作场所压力源，会对医护人员的躯体、心理及情绪健康与福祉造成深远影响。已有研究表明，各类基于正念的干预手段可有效缓解医疗环境中工作压力源带来的负面影响。但此类干预多聚焦于一线医护人员，对护士长群体的关注相对不足。

本项随机对照试验招募了某学术医疗中心的护士长及助理护士长作为研究对象，将其随机分配至干预组与等待列表对照组。根据分组情况，受试者于工作日开展一款商用虚拟现实（Virtual Reality, VR）正念干预程序（TRIPP），每周三次，每次15分钟。在为期8周的试验周期内，两组受试者均参与相关流程：所有受试者（包括干预组与等待列表对照组）均在干预组启动干预前，通过REDCap链接，使用智能手机或电脑填写知情同意书与基线问卷，涵盖PSS-10、MBI-HSS、CD-10及UWES-9量表。

干预组（即治疗组）受试者将获得VR头显、VR头显使用说明、手持控制器及该虚拟现实正念程序；研究团队成员会向每位受试者提供联系方式，以便其在遇到虚拟现实技术或软件相关的疑问、问题或不适时可及时联系。干预组受试者需在工作时段内，每周三次使用该虚拟现实正念干预程序，使用场景为其工作场所的办公室内。

在首个8周干预周期结束时，所有受试者（干预组与等待列表对照组）均完成了PSS-...相关填写。
