Noise has been shown to interfere with the healing process and can disrupt the patient's experience. This study assessed patients' and staff's perceptions of noise levels and sources in the hospital environment and identified interventions to reduce the noise level. The interventions significantly reduced noise as perceived by patients and staff. Identification of a structured process to identify noise sources and standardization of noise measurement methods can improve the patient hospital experience.
研究表明,噪音会干扰愈合过程,并可能破坏患者的体验。本研究评估了患者和工作人员对医院环境中噪音水平和来源的看法,并确定了降低噪音水平的干预措施。这些干预措施显著降低了患者和工作人员所感知到的噪音。确定一个识别噪音来源的结构化过程以及噪音测量方法的标准化可以改善患者的住院体验。
