Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore nurse activities leading to high cognitive stress for intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. The quantification of stress-related nurse activities has been acquired before and after the working shift, with a general gap in analyzing the whole shift. To address this gap, the task analysis of stress-related nurse activities during whole shift was conducted for two participants. The administration tasks (processing clinical data, exchanging professional information and ordering examination), and communicating with patients were most performed when under high cognitive stress. Future work should investigate the contribution of administration and patient-related tasks to high cognitive stress for ICU nurses.
