The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between noise exposure, selected health conditions, and well-being among nurses.
A secondary analysis was performed on data obtained from 3,818 U.S. nurses who responded to a survey regarding noise exposure, health conditions, stress, professional quality of life, and workplace support.
Those who reported high noise exposure reported more health conditions, higher stress and burnout scores, and lower supportive environments. High noise exposure was significantly associated with lower professional quality of life.
CONCLUSION/APPLICATION TO PRACTICE: Noise may impact the health and quality of professional life of nurses. Occupational health nurses should advocate for the regular monitoring of nurses' exposure to hazardous noise at work, compare it to OSHA permissible levels, and collaborate with the occupational health team to ensure safe noise levels are maintained. Occupational health nurses should advocate for expanded research on effects of noise on health.
本研究旨在描述护士的噪声暴露、选定健康状况与福祉之间的关系。
对 3818 名美国护士的调查数据进行了二次分析，这些护士对噪声暴露、健康状况、压力、职业生活质量和工作场所支持进行了回复。
报告高噪声暴露的人报告了更多的健康状况、更高的压力和倦怠得分，以及更低的支持性环境。高噪声暴露与较低的专业生活质量显著相关。
结论/对实践的应用：噪声可能会影响护士的健康和职业生活质量。职业健康护士应倡导定期监测护士在工作中接触危险噪声的情况，将其与 OSHA 允许水平进行比较，并与职业健康团队合作，确保维持安全的噪声水平。职业健康护士应倡导扩大对噪声对健康影响的研究。
