1 day agoAlarm Fatigue and Health Care Workers' Mental Health
Hospitals are always buzzing with overlapping sounds-the beeping of the heart monitor, the sharp alert of an IV pump finishing, and the low hum of the ventilation. This creates a dissonant symphony of alerts, which can be a source of overwhelming sensory input for staff working eight or more hours daily. This can have a profound, often hidden toll of alarm fatigue on the mental health of health care staff.
