Process feasibility | Measure | Feasibility target | Outcome |
---|---|---|---|
Enrollment | N of the total enrolled participants | ≥ 16 participants | 12 participants |
N of day shift participants | ≥ 8 day shift participants | 9 participants | |
N of night shift participants | ≥ 4 night shift participants | 3 participants | |
Retention | N of blood pressure measurements of those attempted (e.g., 1 measurement per hour, over each 24-h sampling period) | ≥ 80% expected | 84% |
N of heart rate measurements of those attempted (e.g., 1 measurement per 5 s, over each 24-h sampling period) | ≥ 80% expected | 60% | |
N of urine cortisol measurements of those collected (e.g., 2 collections over each 24-h sampling period) | ≥ 80% expected | 97% | |
N of the participants who completed the requested questionnaires | ≥ 80% of participants with fully completed questionnaires | Patient Health Questionnaire- 9: 96% complete (n = 26 complete of 27 requested; e.g., 26/27) Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI): 100% complete (27/27) Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS): 93% complete (25/27) Exit Survey: 88% complete (7/8) | |
Acceptability | Self-reported difficulty participating in ambulatory monitoring (0–10 scale), mean (SD) | < 4 | 6 (2.8) (among n = 8 respondents) |
Self-reported difficulty of participating in urine collection (0–10 scale), mean (SD) | < 4 | 1 (1.7) (among n = 6 respondents) | |
Self-reported difficulty of participating in surveys (0–10 scale), mean (SD) | < 4 | 0 (0) (among n = 7 respondents) | |
N of participants who would recommend participating in this study to a friend | ≥ 80% of participants | 100% (among n = 6 respondents) | |
