This study aimed to determine the degree of alarm fatigue and mental workload of ICU nurses, and to clarify the relationship between these two variables. A cross-sectional, descriptive research design was used. Data were collected from 90 nurses working in four ICUs in Seoul, Republic of Korea, using a questionnaire determining their degree of alarm fatigue and mental workload. Data were collected from 6 March to 26 April 2021 and were analyzed using a -test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient. The average alarm-fatigue score was 28.59 out of 44. The item with the highest score was "I often hear a certain amount of noise in the ward", with a score of 3.59 out of 4. The average of the mental workload scores was 75.21 out of 100. The highest mental workload item was effort, which scored 78.72 out of 100. No significant correlation was found between alarm fatigue and mental workload. Although nurses were consistently exposed to alarm fatigue, this was not directly related to their mental workloads, perhaps owing to their professional consciousness as they strived to accomplish tasks despite alarm fatigue. However, since alarm fatigue can affect efficiency, investigations to reduce it and develop appropriate guidelines are necessary. This study was not registered.
本研究旨在确定重症监护病房（ICU）护士的警报疲劳程度和心理负荷，并阐明这两个变量之间的关系。采用了横断面描述性研究设计。使用一份确定护士警报疲劳程度和心理负荷的问卷，从韩国首尔四个ICU工作的90名护士中收集数据。数据于2021年3月6日至4月26日收集，并使用t检验、方差分析和皮尔逊相关系数进行分析。警报疲劳平均得分在44分制中为28.59分。得分最高的项目是“我经常在病房听到一定量的噪音”，在4分制中得分为3.59分。心理负荷得分平均在100分制中为75.21分。心理负荷最高的项目是努力程度，在100分制中得分为78.72分。未发现警报疲劳与心理负荷之间存在显著相关性。尽管护士持续面临警报疲劳，但这与他们的心理负荷没有直接关系，这可能是由于他们的职业意识，即尽管有警报疲劳仍努力完成任务。然而，由于警报疲劳会影响效率，因此有必要进行调查以减少警报疲劳并制定适当的指南。本研究未注册。
