Noise is a condition that harms newborns. There are studies on the effect of noise on the newborn, but not enought there are studies on how the noise is prevented by the nurses.
This study was conducted to examine the knowledge, attitudes and methods used by nurses to prevent noise in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
The study carried out as qualitative phenomenological design research, the study took place between September-November 2021 with 12 NICU nurses working in a training and research hospital. A Descriptive Data Form, a voice recorder and a Semi-structured Interview Form were used in the data collection. Content analysis was performed to assess the qualitative data. COREQ (COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research) checklist was used in reporting the research. The participants’ statements were analyzed and sorted out under 4 themes.
The themes were noise awareness, noise prevention methods, unavoidable noise sources, and quiet. It was found that nurses in the NICU were aware of the sources of noise in the unit, protected the neonates from the effects of the various sounds by using sound reduction methods, and consequently observed the positive effects of these techniques on neonatal health and wellbeing. Implications for Practice: This study revealed that nurses were knowledgeable and practise in different noise prevent about methods to prevent noise in the NICU. Implications for Research: May enable the creation of standardized checklists for the NICU’s noise suppression program.
Not applicable. This research is a qualitative study.
噪音是一种对新生儿有害的状况。有关于噪音对新生儿影响的研究，但关于护士如何预防噪音的研究却不够多。
本研究旨在调查新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）护士预防噪音所具备的知识、态度和采用的方法。
本研究采用质性现象学设计研究方法，于2021年9月至11月期间，对一家培训和研究医院的12名NICU护士进行了研究。数据收集过程中使用了描述性数据表格、录音机和半结构化访谈表格。采用内容分析法对定性数据进行评估。报告研究时使用了COREQ（定性研究报告统一标准）清单。参与者的陈述被分析并归纳为4个主题。
这些主题为噪音意识、噪音预防方法、不可避免的噪音源和安静。研究发现，NICU的护士了解病房内的噪音源，通过采用降噪方法保护新生儿免受各种声音的影响，从而观察到这些技术对新生儿健康和幸福的积极影响。对实践的启示：本研究表明，护士了解并实践了不同的预防噪音方法，以防止NICU内的噪音。对研究的启示：可能有助于为NICU的噪音抑制计划创建标准化清单。
不适用。本研究为定性研究。
