About this trial
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. The intervention specifically targets the immediate post-night-shift period, a critical time for recovery, by offering immersive guided relaxation experiences designed to reduce anxiety and promote both mental and physiological relaxation.
