Summary:Abstract Objectives Alarm fatigue is a patient safety concern in ICUs, yet no validated instrument exists to assess alarm fatigue among healthcare professionals in non-Western settings. This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt the Charité Alarm Fatigue Questionnaire (CAFQa) into Japanese and evaluate its reliability and validity among ICU nurses and physicians. Methods The Japanese CAFQa was cross-culturally adapted following the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines, including forward translation, back-translation, expert panel review, and cognitive interviews. A multicenter cross-sectional validation study was performed across eight ICUs at five hospitals in Japan. A total of 129 participants (103 nurses and 26 physicians) completed the Japanese CAFQa, the NIOSH Brief Job Stress Questionnaire, and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Structural validity, internal consistency, test–retest reliability (n = 102), convergent validity, and known-groups validity were assessed. Results CFA confirmed the two-factor structure with acceptable fit (CFI = 0.922, RMSEA = 0.041, SRMR = 0.076), with standardized factor loadings ranging from 0.33 to 0.82. The two factors were not correlated (r = 0.05). Cronbach’s alpha was 0.688 for the overall scale, 0.805 for Alarm Stress, and 0.649 for Alarm Coping. Test–retest ICCs ranged from 0.616 to 0.753. The CAFQa total score correlated with the NIOSH total (r = 0.261) and the ISI total (r = 0.338). Healthcare professionals with ≥4 years of ICU experience had higher Alarm Coping scores than those with 1–3 years (median 7.0 vs 6.5), and physicians scored higher on Alarm Coping than nurses (median 8.0 vs 7.0). Conclusions The Japanese CAFQa demonstrated acceptable structural validity, reliability, and convergent and known-groups validity, providing the first validated tool for quantitatively measuring alarm fatigue in Japan. Implications for Clinical Practice The Japanese CAFQa enables ICU managers to quantify alarm fatigue at individual and unit levels, identify high-risk staff, and evaluate the effectiveness of alarm management interventions.
