ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a technique called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can help reduce stress and alarm fatigue among nurses working in surgical intensive care units (ICUs). Nurses in these settings often deal with high levels of stress due to the demands of their job, including the constant noise from medical devices that can lead to alarm fatigue—where they become less responsive to important alerts. This study aims to see if using EFT can improve their mental health and overall job performance, ultimately leading to better care for patients.

To participate in the trial, nurses must be at least 18 years old and currently working in a surgical ICU. They also need to be willing to volunteer for the study. If eligible, participants can expect to engage in sessions that teach them how to use EFT to manage their stress levels. The trial is currently looking for volunteers, and it's a great opportunity for nurses to learn skills that may not only help them at work but also improve their well-being.
