Abstract:
Objective:To explore the mental workload status of nurses in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:The convenience sampling was used to select 240 ICU nurses from 4 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Beijing from February to April 2020 as the research object. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) , and the Chinese version of the Caring Assessment Tool-administration (CAT-admin) . Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results:Among 240 ICU nurses, the total scores of the Chinese version of NASA-TLX and the Chinese version of CAT-admin were (82.26±14.82) and (131.16±21.96) , respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that nurses' perceived care of managers, children's condition and working years were the influencing factors of ICU nurses' mental workload and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) , which could explain 40.9% of the total variation. Conclusions:The mental workload of ICU nurses is at the upper-middle level. Nursing managers should take targeted measures according to the influencing factors to reduce the mental workload of ICU nurses.
