The objective of this evidence-based investigation is to determine the efficacy of a quiet-time intervention to reduce noise in the hospital setting.
For many reasons, noise continues to increase in the hospital setting.
In a descriptive comparative design, using a convenience sample of hospitalized patients, 80 patients were assessed on their perceptions of noise using the Patient Survey on Noise During Hospital Stay.
Data revealed favorable responses to quiet time, with 70% of subjects reporting quiet-time intervention to be effective in reducing noise. Sixty percent of participants felt that 1 hour of quiet time helped to facilitate a quieter, more restful environment for the whole day.
A quiet-time intervention is effective in addressing patient perception of noise while in the acute care hospital setting.
本循证调查的目的是确定安静时段干预措施在降低医院环境噪音方面的效果。
由于多种原因，医院环境中的噪音持续增加。
采用描述性比较设计，以住院患者的便利样本为对象，使用《住院期间噪音患者调查问卷》对80名患者对噪音的感知进行评估。
数据显示对安静时段的反应良好，70%的受试者报告安静时段干预措施在降低噪音方面有效。60%的参与者认为1小时的安静时段有助于营造一整天更安静、更利于休息的环境。
在急性护理医院环境中，安静时段干预措施在解决患者对噪音的感知方面是有效的。
