Application of Ward Noise Management in Perioperative Hepatobiliary Surgery: A Retrospective Study.

OBJECTIVE

To explore the application effect of ward noise management during the perioperative period of hepatobiliary surgery.

METHODS

The clinical data of 295 patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery admitted to People's Hospital of Zunyi City Bo Zhou District from March 2020 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. In accordance with different perioperative management programs, patients were divided into the control (implementation of perioperative routine management) and observation (implementation of perioperative routine management + ward noise management) groups. Patients' general data were matched through propensity score matching, and 55 cases were allocated to each group. After matching, the clinical indicators of the two groups were compared to evaluate the effect of ward noise management on patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery.

RESULTS

No significant difference in general data was found between the two groups (P > 0.05). After management, the postoperative recovery indicators, such as feeding time, exhaust time, defecation time, first time to get out of bed, and incidence of postoperative complications, did not significantly differ between the observation and control groups (P > 0.05). The Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The average noise decibel values during the day, night, and over 24 hours of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Ward noise management can improve the negative emotions of patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery, enhance sleep quality, and promote recovery. Therefore, it has a certain clinical promotion value.
