Medical personnel, working in medical intensive care units, are exposed to fatigue associated with alarms emitted by numerous medical devices used for diagnosing, treating, and monitoring patients. Alarm fatigue is a safety and quality problem in patient care and actions should be taken to reduce this by, among other measures, building an effective safety culture. In the present study, an adaptation of a questionnaire to assess alarm fatigue was carried out. The study obtained good reliability of the questionnaire at Cronbach's alpha level of 0.88. The Polish research team has successfully adapted the Alarm Fatigue Assessment Questionnaire so that it can be used in healthcare settings as a tool to improve patient safety.
医务人员在重症监护病房工作时，会受到与用于诊断、治疗和监测患者的众多医疗设备发出的警报相关的疲劳的影响。警报疲劳是患者护理中的一个安全和质量问题，应该采取措施通过建立有效的安全文化来减少这种疲劳。在本研究中，对评估警报疲劳的问卷进行了改编。该研究在 Cronbach 的 alpha 水平为 0.88 时，获得了问卷的良好可靠性。波兰研究团队成功地改编了《警报疲劳评估问卷》，使其能够在医疗保健环境中用作提高患者安全性的工具。
