Filter by:Nurses working in surgical intensive care units face numerous health and safety stressors. The introduction of new health technologies, medical devices (such as bedside monitors, pump and perfuser devices, and mechanical ventilators), and changing health environments have contributed to increased work stress among nurses. This, in turn, has had negative effects on their physical and mental health outcomes. One of the hazards associated with medical devices is alarm fatigue. Noise pollution caused by bells, beeps, and horns in intensive care units can lead to alarm fatigue, defined as desensitisation to monitor alarms. Nurses are particularly susceptible to this due to their constant exposure to these sounds, which can also cause stress. Occupational stress is a recognised issue in this demanding field, characterised by disproportionate workloads and negative effects on performance.Work-related stress can lead to a loss of compassion towards patients and an increase in malpractice, negatively affecting the quality of care. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impact of applying emotional freedom techniques on work-related stress and alarm fatigue experienced by nurses working in surgical intensive care units.
In the present study, Sponsor aim to evaluate the effects of EnXtra® as to improve Accuracy & Reaction Time, Perceived Alertness & Digital Fatigue for Video Gamers. A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Crossover Study of 60 randomized cross over for total study duration of approximately 25 days with 5 days of treatment period for each arm and 5-7 days wash out period between both arms.
The primary aim of the current study is to assess the effect of continuous wireless vital signs monitoring with generation of real-time alerts compared to blinded monitoring without alerts on the cumulative duration of any severely deviating vital signs in patients admitted to general hospital wards with acute medical conditions. Patients admitted with medical conditions represents a large and heterogenous group occupying a substantial part of the total in-patient capacity in the Danish hospitals today. The hypothesize is that continuous vital signs monitoring, and real-time alerts will reduce the cumulative duration of severely deviating vital signs.
The objective is to compare the timeliness of anchor antibiotic administration in the emergency department (ED) after initial dosing with and without a Best Practice Alert in Epic (BPA) implemented to remind physicians to re-order the antibiotic. We hypothesize that post-BPA implementation, physicians will have a higher rate of ordering subsequent doses of antibiotics on-time and with the correct dosages compared to pre-BPA implementation.
