ACTION: Notice with comment period.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies the opportunity to comment on
a proposed and/or continuing
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
This notice invites comment on a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Nurse Fatigue-Mitigation Education:
Does it Change Nurse Sleep Behavior?—
New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Many nurses in the United States
work in around-the-clock healthcare
facilities, providing necessary care to
patients and the public. Providing these
services requires nurses to work
nonstandard hours, including shift work
(e.g., early mornings, over-nights,
rotating between days and nights) and
long work hours. These work
organizational characteristics are
primary factors contributing to sleeprelated fatigue, and decreased health
and well-being for nurses. Studies have
found 36% of healthcare workers
(including nurses) report sleeping less
than the recommended 7–9 hours of
sleep/24 hours, with prevalence rates
climbing to a little over 50% for those
working night shifts. This is concerning,
as insufficient sleep not only increases
the risk for a patient care error to occur
but can also jeopardize the health of
nurses.
In 2015, the National Institutes for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) published an online resource
to address the risks associated with shift
work and other nonstandard work
hours, titled ‘‘Training for Nurses on
Shift Work and Long Work Hours.’’ This
no-cost training is designed to educate
nurses, nurse managers and other
interested healthcare workers on the
health and safety risks associated with
nonstandard work hours. In addition to
sleep and fatigue-related background
information, the training provides
strategies for improving nurse sleep and
reducing fatigue-related risks when
E:\FR\FM\14MYN1.SGM
14MYN1
26518
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 92 / Friday, May 14, 2021 / Notices
working shift work in the healthcare
setting.
Over five years have passed since the
training was published online. Since
then, the nursing workforce has faced a
changing healthcare landscape. In
response, the two studies in this project
have been designed to evaluate whether
the NIOSH Training for Nurses is
effective at helping nurses improve their
sleep and well-being, as well as assess
the reach of training dissemination. This
evaluation project will help NIOSH
assess gaps in training distribution, as
well as identify any needs to enhance
training content, ensuring the training is
providing the intended service.
The goal of Study 1 is to provide a
description of the registered nurses
(RNs) who have already completed the
NIOSH ‘‘Training for Nurses on Shift
Work and Long Work Hours.’’ The goal
of Study 2 is to evaluate the
effectiveness of the training on objective
(i.e., actigraphy watches) and subjective
sleep health (composite and separate
components [i.e., duration, efficiency,
timing, quality, daytime sleepiness])
and well-being from baseline over one,
three, and six months post-training.
Study 2 explores the relationship
between nurse characteristics and
behavioral intention as well as the
relationship between behavioral
intention and sleep health post-training
at one, three, and six months.
Information gathered from this
evaluation study will allow NIOSH to
identify where future dissemination
efforts for this training product should
be targeted, as well as assess whether
the training should be enhanced to meet
the greater needs of the current nursing
population.
For Study 1, NIOSH will be using preexisting data already collected by the
CDC from individuals who have
received continuing professional
licensing education credits following
training completion. For Study 2,
NIOSH will be recruiting 50 RNs to
volunteer to participate. Recruitment
will take approximately three months
through online platforms and with
assistance of the NIOSH staff’s nursing
contacts across the country.
During Study 2, NIOSH will collect
data before and after RNs complete the
NIOSH Training for Nurses. RNs
enrolled in the study will be asked to
take online surveys and wear an
actigraphy watch during this study.
Actigraphy watches are research grade
sleep data collection instruments,
similar to a wristwatch. Actigraphy
watches will be supplied by NIOSH for
participant use during the study.
Baseline measures include an online
survey with questions about
demographics, workplace characteristics
(i.e., job tenure, shift length), sleep
quality, daytime sleepiness, well-being,
complete online daily sleep diaries, and
activate actigraphy watches for seven
days prior to taking the online training.
One month after baseline measures,
participants will be asked to take the
NIOSH online nurse training. It takes
approximately 3.5 hours to complete,
and participants will have the
opportunity to receive Continuing
Education (CD) credits upon
completion. After completing the online
nurse training, participants will answer
four immediate post-training online
questions regarding behavioral intention
and feedback on the participant training
experience. The participant will then be
scheduled for the one-month posttraining data collection period. At each
post-training follow-up period,
participants will be asked to follow the
same sampling protocol they completed
at baseline (seven day actigraphy and
sleep/wake diary, online survey on
sleep quality, daytime sleepiness, wellbeing, and behavioral intention towards
sleep promoting behavior), as well as
three open-ended questions to describe
strategies adopted to improve sleep, and
facilitators and barriers to adoption. The
six-month follow-up will exclude
behavioral intention measures.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 341 annual burden hours.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time to participate.
