Nurses often enter ICU work with limited cognitive reserves. Whether they maintain balance or enter overload depends on the intensity of alarm-related demands and the availability of supportive resources. High-intensity demands for alarm response, such as high alarm frequency, persistent false alarms, multitasking, night shifts, and work\u2013family conflict, are risk factors for alarm fatigue. Resources for alarm response may function as either effective or inadequate support, aligning with protective or risk factors, respectively. Effective support helps alleviate cognitive load and includes effective team collaboration, management\u2019s emphasis on alarm management, comprehensive theoretical training, high psychological adaptability, a strong sense of responsibility, and extensive work experience. Conversely, inadequate support increases cognitive load and includes lack of practical training, absence of formal regulations, outdated and malfunctioning equipment, crowded and noisy layout, emotional personality traits, insufficient or poor sleep, and suboptimal health status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cognitive load as a mechanism linking the interaction between alarm response demands and available resources in the development of alarm fatigue among ICU nurses. To mitigate alarm fatigue, it is essential to reduce the intensity of alarm demands while enhancing resource support to relieve cognitive load. Organizational efforts should optimize alarm systems, establish formal protocols, and provide comprehensive training. Teams should reinforce collaboration and mutual support. Individually, nurses are encouraged to enhance psychological self-regulation and maintain sufficient sleep and physical health.<\/jats:p>\n
