- Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the level of medical equipment alarm fatigue and its influencing factors among clinical nurses. Methods: PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were systematically searched to identify articles on alarm fatigue of clinical nurses published before September 25, 2022. According to the evaluation criteria of prevalence studies recommended by JBI Evidence-Based Health Care Center, the quality of the literature meeting the inclusion criteria was evaluated, and Stata MP17 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 14 cross-sectional studies were included, with a total sample of 2,848 nurses. The results showed that the alarm fatigue score of clinical nurses was 21.76 (95% CI [20.27, 23.25]). Subgroup analysis showed that the nurses who worked night shift and had lower professional title had higher alarm fatigue. Conclusion: The alarm fatigue of clinical nurses was at a moderate level. To reduce the alarm fatigue level of clinical nurses, nursing managers should strengthen the alarm safety awareness of nurses, rationally arrange nurse manpower, carry out training to actively improve the alarm management ability of nurses, and optimize the alarm level and frequency of alarm equipment.
