Abstract

Background

Alarms pervade the hospital environment, often increasing nurses’ workload. Hospital nurses are experiencing burnout at unprecedented rates.

Puropse

This study examined the association between nurses’ experience of alarms and burnout.

Methods

Survey data from U.S. nurses (n = 2,131) were analyzed.

Findings

Nurses who frequently/occasionally experienced overwhelm from alarms had 2.47 (95% CI [1.93, 3.16]) greater odds of high burnout than those who rarely/never experienced alarm overwhelm; those who frequently/occasionally had to delay alarm response had 2.13 [1.67, 2.70] greater odds of high burnout than those who rarely/never did; and those who frequently/occasionally encountered situations where no one responded to an urgent alarm had 2.5 [2.07, 3.03] greater odds of high burnout than those who rarely/never encountered such situations. The associations remained largely unchanged after adjusting for hospital characteristics, nurse practice environment, and nurse staffing.

Conclusion

Although this study was cross-sectional, the potential impact of alarms on nurses’ well-being is an important consideration as technology advances.

美国医院中警报负担与护士职业倦怠之间的关系

背景警报充斥着医院环境，经常增加护士的工作量。本研究探讨了护士经历警报与职业倦怠之间的关系。方法分析了来自美国护士（n = 2,131）的调查数据。结果经常/偶尔经历警报淹没的护士比很少/从未经历警报淹没的护士有 2.47 (95% CI [1.93, 3. 16])高的职业倦怠几率；经常/偶尔不得不延迟警报响应的护士比很少/从未经历警报淹没的护士有更高的职业倦怠几率。经常/偶尔受到警报干扰的护士比很少/从未受到警报干扰的护士产生高度职业倦怠的几率要高出 2.47 (95% CI [1.93, 3.16])；经常/偶尔不得不延迟响应警报的护士比很少/从未延迟响应警报的护士产生高度职业倦怠的几率要高出 2.13 [1.67, 2.70]；经常/偶尔遇到无人响应紧急警报的情况的护士比很少/从未遇到此类情况的护士产生高度职业倦怠的几率要高出 2.5 [2.07, 3.03]。结论虽然这项研究是横断面研究，但随着技术的发展，警报对护士健康的潜在影响是一个重要的考虑因素。
