| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Nurses work in complex environments with high numbers of alarms, including nuisance alarms and other factors. Alarm-related adverse events are common. Aim: Evaluate the effect of implementing safety bundle regarding alarm fatigue on nurses‘ perception and practices in cardiac care units. Design: A quasiexperimental design used in this study. Setting: The study carried out at the Cardiac Care Units (CCU) at Tanta University Hospital. Subjects and Method: Subjects: All nurses (50) of both sex working at CCU at Tanta University Hospital. Tools: Three tools were utilized. Tool I: Critical Care Nurses‘ Questionnaire. Tool II: Nurse s‘ Alarm Fatigue Level Questionnaire. Tool III: Nurses‘ Alarm Fatigue Management Observational Checklist. Results: There was statistically significant positive correlation between perception of clinical alarms, alarm fatigue level and alarm fatigue management pre and post implementation of alarm safety bundle. Conclusion: It was concluded that there were statistically significant differences between nurses' perception and practices categories indicating good knowledge and practice after the nurses implementing safety bundle regarding alarm fatigue, compared with poor perception and practice pre- implementing safety bundle regarding alarm fatigue p value (0.005*). Recommendation: It is recommended to develop a standardized tool that assesses nurses‘ perception of clinical alarms and alarm management guidelines. In service training implementing safety bundle regarding alarm fatigue should be conducted be conducted for nurses regarding alarm management and increase nurses‘ awareness of the presence of alarm fatigue. Future study should be made to implement fundamental universal alarm management guidelines all across the world. | ||||
