Intervention Program for Alarm Fatigue in NICU Nurses Based on ABC-X Model
Sponsor: Guizhou Medical University
Summary
Monitors in newborn intensive care (NICU) help keep babies safe, but the constant beeping can overwhelm nurses. This 'alarm fatigue' makes it harder for nurses to identify real emergencies, stresses them out, and can impact patient care, including infant care. While we know this problem exists, there aren't many proven solutions. This study aims to develop and evaluate a new support program for nurses in the NICU who experience alarm fatigue. We first talked to NICU nurses to understand their challenges and needs. Then, using a stress management model (called the ABC-X model), we designed a program specifically to help them cope. Experts helped refine the program. Finally, we'll introduce this program to NICU nurses and see how well it works. The goal is to reduce nurses' alarm fatigue, improve their well-being, and ultimately enhance the safety and quality of care for newborns.

Alarm Fatigue Intervention Program
Train nurses in terms of alarm fatigue stressors, coping resources, and cognition. The training content for stress management includes forming a multidisciplinary team, selecting appropriate equipment, replacing accessories and dressings in a timely manner, and comforting the children promptly. The training content for dealing with resources includes standardizing alarm response procedures, increasing manpower allocation, enhancing knowledge, skills, and psychological adjustment, etc. The training content of cognition includes fostering a positive attitude and strengthening responsibility, etc.
