Abstract

Objective

Alarm fatigue may endanger the safety of patients by negatively affecting nurses' concentration and ability to provide effective care. Identifying alarm fatigue and taking appropriate measures are critical in preventing medical errors and for nurses to work with high motivation. This study aimed to test the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the 23-item Alarm Fatigue Assessment Questionnaire (AFAQ).

Method

The study was conducted between February 2022 and April 2022 and included nurses with at least one year of clinical or intensive care experience. The data were collected via a web-based questionnaire. During the adaptation of AFAQ, language, content, and construct validity were evaluated; reliability was examined by internal consistency analysis.

Results

The item and scale content validity index of AFAQ were found to be high (>0.80). The Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy indicated an adequate sampling (0.85); Bartlett's test of sphericity χ² was 1935.074, p < 0.001. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) showed that the 21-item scale had a five-factor structure, explaining 51.606% of the total variance, and the factor loadings of the items were >0.30 (0.422−0.803). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed that the five-factor model had a good fit index (χ²/df = 1.855, SRMR = 0.039, RMSEA = 0.048, CFI = 0.915, and TLI = 0.908) and appropriate factor loadings (>0.30). The internal consistency of AFAQ (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) was 0.85, and the corrected item-total correlations were between 0.32−0.55.

Conclusion

The results indicated that the Turkish version of the Alarm Fatigue Assessment Questionnaire was sufficiently valid and reliable to measure alarm fatigue in nurses.

改编和验证土耳其版警报疲劳评估问卷

目的警报疲劳可能会影响护士的注意力和提供有效护理的能力，从而危及患者的安全。识别警报疲劳并采取适当措施对于预防医疗事故和护士以高昂的工作热情工作至关重要。本研究旨在测试土耳其版 23 项警报疲劳评估问卷（AFAQ）的心理测量特性。研究在 2022 年 2 月至 2022 年 4 月期间进行，包括至少有一年临床或重症监护经验的护士。数据通过网络问卷收集。结果AFAQ的项目和量表内容效度指数较高（0.80）。Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin抽样充分性测量表明抽样充分（0.85）；Bartlett球形度检验χ2为1935.074，p <0.001。探索性因素分析（EFA）显示，21 个项目的量表具有五因素结构，解释了总方差的 51.606%，各项目因素负荷为 >0.30（0.422-0.803）。证实性因素分析（CFA）表明，五因素模型具有良好的拟合指数（χ2/df = 1.855，SRMR = 0.039，RMSEA = 0.048，CFI = 0.915，TLI = 0.908）和适当的因素负荷（>0.30）。AFAQ 的内部一致性（Cronbach's alpha 系数）为 0.85，校正后的项目-总相关系数在 0.32-0.55 之间。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
