Noise in operating rooms (ORs) during surgery may affect OR personnel and pose a threat to patient safety. The sources of noise vary depending on the operation. This study aimed to investigate how OR staff perceived noise, whether music was considered noise and what its perceived effects were. Surgeons, anaesthesiologists, residents and nurses were interviewed. iPads were placed in the ORs to gather noise-level data. Ninety-one interviews were conducted. Most participants (60.5%) reported the presence of noise and 25% the presence of music in the OR. Noise data from iPads registered levels ranging between 59.52 and 85.60 dB(). analyses yielded significant results between participants' role and the perceived effects of noise (= 0.02). Responses to open-ended questions were thematically categorized. . Surgeons generally chose the music played in ORs and were likely positively inclined to its effects, while anaesthesiologists and nurses minded the lack of choice and were more likely to consider it as noise.
手术期间手术室中的噪音可能会影响手术室工作人员，并对患者安全构成威胁。噪音来源因手术而异。本研究旨在调查手术室工作人员如何看待噪音，音乐是否被视为噪音以及其感知到的影响是什么。对外科医生、麻醉师、住院医生和护士进行了访谈。在手术室中放置了iPad以收集噪音水平数据。共进行了91次访谈。大多数参与者（60.5%）报告手术室存在噪音，25%报告存在音乐。iPad记录的噪音数据水平在59.52至85.60分贝之间。分析得出参与者的角色与噪音的感知影响之间存在显著结果（P = 0.02）。对开放式问题的回答进行了主题分类。外科医生通常选择手术室中播放的音乐，并且可能对其效果持积极态度，而麻醉师和护士则在意缺乏选择，并且更有可能将其视为噪音。
