Effects of Relaxation, Mindfulness, and Breathing Therapy on Alarm Fatigue and Psychological Well-being in Intensive Care Nurses

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of the Benson Relaxation Technique, mindfulness-based stress reduction meditation, and breathing therapy on reducing alarm fatigue and improving psychological well-being in intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do the Benson Relaxation Technique, mindfulness-based stress reduction meditation, and breathing therapy significantly reduce alarm fatigue in ICU nurses? Do these interventions significantly improve psychological well-being in ICU nurses? Researchers will compare three intervention groups (Benson Relaxation Technique, mindfulness-based stress reduction meditation, breathing therapy) with a control group receiving no intervention to determine which approach produces the greatest improvement in alarm fatigue and psychological well-being. Participants will: Attend weekly group sessions for their assigned intervention over the course of \[8 weeks\]. Practice the assigned technique regularly between sessions as instructed. Complete questionnaires assessing alarm fatigue and psychological well-being before and after the intervention.
