Research progress of alarm fatigue assessment tools for nurse
In the healthcare environment,alarm systems were critical tools for ensuring patient safety and im-proving nursing efficiency,but frequent and excessive non-critical alarms had caused most ICU nurses to become slow to respond to alarm systems and even develop an apathetic attitude.Alarm fatigue had caused problems such as delayed alarm response and decreased work efficiency of nurses,which seriously jeopardized the life safety of pa-tients,but more clinical attention had been paid to how to reduce the frequency of alarms occurring,while ignoring the impact of alarm fatigue on individual nurses.Therefore,it was crucial to choose reliable and scientific assessment tools to accurately identify alarm fatigue and realize early warning and early intervention.This paper reviewed the o-verview of alarm fatigue and the main contents,reliability and validity,limitations and current status of application of alarm fatigue assessment tools for nurses,with the aim of further compiling and developing a rapid screening tool for alarm fatigue suitable for nurses in China,with a view to providing references for the localized development of a-larm fatigue assessment tools for nurses and the conduct of related research.
