摘要: As in previous studies respondents indicated that the performance readings made them more aware of their fatigue levels and made it increasingly likely that they would use appropriate fatigue management techniques to prepare themselves for work. A total of thirty-three dispatchers completed the three-month study designed to assess the functionality of improving individual sleep habits with Actigraph Performance Feedback. There were 5 people from first shift, 5 people from second shift, 13 people from third shift, and 10 people from the extra board. Participants wore the actigraphs for a total of 60 days. For the first 30 day period participants wore traditional non-performance feedback actigraphs. For the remaining days of the study participants wore performance feedback actigraphs. This was followed by an additional 30 days of wearing the traditional non-performance feedback actigraphs. The key focus of the study was the pilot and development of fatigue management focused coaching based on the actigraph results and targeted towards key behavior changes. Each participant received feedback on the results of the actigraph baseline period and identified several areas for improvement over the next 30 day period. Participants wore the performance feedback actigraphs and were interviewed for their reactions. Results indicate that study participants generally rated their experience with the performance feedback actigraph as a favorable one. / NOTE:Final rept. (1 Jan 03-30 Sep 04).
