Study Population

The research populations consists of nurses working in adult ICU a University Hospital. The sample number was calculated with the formula known population and the cases average of the event in the study. In this study, considering the alarm fatigue standard deviation (σ=6.82) found in the Turkish validity study of the scale, the minimum sample size was calculated as 67 for a population size of 106 and a 95% confidence interval (t=1.96; d=1). Considering that there may be losses 10% more (74 nurses) will be taken. The qualitative phase of the research will be with nurses who agreed to be interview and will be terminated when the data reach the saturation point and no new information emerge.
