The study examines the impact of alarm and compassion fatigue among critical care nurses, suggesting the importance of institutional support.
Moderate levels of both alarm fatigue and compassion fatigue highlight the need to increase awareness of these occupational challenges. Implementing institutional support, including workload management, training programs and access to psychological support, can help nurses cope with these stressors. Although quality of care was not directly measured, addressing these fatigue types may indirectly support safe and effective patient care in critical care settings.
