Effect of Comprehensive Noise Reduction Management on the Postoperative Negative Emotion, Stress Response Hormone and Sleep Status of Burn Patients: Single-Centre Retrospective Analysis.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore the effect of comprehensive noise reduction management on the postoperative recovery of burn patients.

METHODS

Data of 156 patients admitted to Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University from October 2022 to July 2023 were retrospectively analysed. The patients were divided into two groups according to the management method: group A (n = 76, standard care of burns) and group B (n = 80, standard care of burns+comprehensive noise reduction management). The stress response level, anxiety and depression level, sleep quality and satisfaction of the two groups were compared before and after the management.

RESULTS

Before the management, no statistically significant differences in cortisol (Cor), anxiety and depression scores and sleep quality were found between the two groups (P > 0.05). After the management, significant differences in Cor, anxiety scores, sleep quality and patient satisfaction were observed between the two groups (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Comprehensive noise reduction management can reduce postoperative stress hormone levels, alleviate negative emotions, such as anxiety, and improve sleep quality and patient satisfaction.
