In this situation,...

Establishing a secure, collaborative nurse-patient relationship is crucial for delivering high-quality care. This relationship, founded on trust, respect, and honesty, enhances the patient's comfort and willingness to share vital health information.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare safety
  • Nursing practice
  • Clinical technology

Background:

  • Alarm hazards pose critical patient safety risks.
  • Nurses are disproportionately affected by clinical alarms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To qualitatively explore nurses' experiences with clinical alarms.
  • To understand the impact of alarm fatigue on healthcare providers and patients.

Main Methods:

  • Content analysis using the Krippendorff method.
  • Analysis of comments from 406 nurses in a national survey on clinical alarms.

Main Results:

  • Six themes emerged: dissonance, desensitization, pollution, panic, pathology, accountability, nurse authority, and alarm management.
  • Nurses highlighted the crucial but not fully sufficient role of clinical alarm management.
  • Themes indicated a need for improved alarm management and recognition of nurses' roles.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses are concerned about alarm fatigue's impact on both staff and patients.
  • Nurses recognize their vital role in mitigating noise pollution from alarms.
  • Valuable insights were provided for strategies to reduce alarm hazards and improve patient safety.
