Effects of monitor alarm management training on nurses’ alarm fatigue: A randomised controlled trial

(1) Monitor alarm training based on the theory of planned behaviour is effective in reducing nonactionable alarms and lowering alarm fatigue in ICU nurses. (2) The intervention considering the social psychological aspects of behaviour is effective in rebuilding the nurses' awareness and behaviour of alarm management. (3) Nurses are the direct users of monitoring technology. Hospital administrators should attach importance to the role of nurses in the medical monitoring system. We suggest that nursing managers implement training programmes in more ICUs in the future to improve alarm management ability and lower alarm fatigue in ICU nurses.
