A Transferable Evaluation Framework for Mobile Health Data Collection in Shift-Work Nurses: Development and Feasibility Study

Background

Shift-work nurses experience substantial variability in work schedules, health behaviors, and recovery patterns, which traditional retrospective surveys fail to capture due to recall bias. Although mobile health (mHealth) tools offer ecological momentary data capture, existing off-the-shelf survey platforms lack shift-synchronized notification logic and impose excessive cognitive friction on fatigued clinicians, limiting their applicability in nursing research.
