Book Synopsis Making Noise in the Modern Hospital by : Victoria Bates
Download or read book Making Noise in the Modern Hospital written by Victoria Bates and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element examines the problem of hospital noise, a problem that has repeatedly been discovered anew, with each new era bringing its own efforts to control and abate unwanted sound in healthcare settings. Why, then, has hospital noise never been resolved? This question is at the heart of Making Noise in the Modern Hospital, which brings together histories of the senses, space, technology, society, medicine and architecture to understand the changing cacophony of the late twentieth-century hospital. This Element is fundamentally interdisciplinary - despite being historical, it comes up to the present day and brings in scholarship on space, place, atmosphere and the senses that will have relevance to scholars working outside of historical research. The intersection between medical and sensory histories also puts interdisciplinary research at the Element's core.

Book Synopsis Hospital Noise-reduction in the Inpatient Setting by : Liza Egekeze
Download or read book Hospital Noise-reduction in the Inpatient Setting written by Liza Egekeze and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The high levels of noise in the hospital environment is becoming a major health concern, despite safe noise levels recommendations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Hospital environmental noise negatively impacts patients and staff, and exposure to noise has been identified as a major cause of sleep disruption in hospitalized patients, leading to increased stress and recovery time, and the exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms. Reducing noise levels in the hospital setting can improve patient outcomes and patient satisfaction."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Noise Levels in a Hospital Environment and Patient Reported Noise Levels by : Nancy Diane Ludwick
Download or read book The Relationship Between Noise Levels in a Hospital Environment and Patient Reported Noise Levels written by Nancy Diane Ludwick and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hospitals are habitually loud and noisy environments, not always conducive to rest and healing for those recovering from a serious illness or surgical procedure. Studies have shown that a noisy hospital environment can adversely affect a patient’s health, recovery and perception of the hospital experience. Patient satisfaction is mandated to be measured using the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health care Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. Results of this survey are a concern to health systems because they can significantly affect the financial reimbursement from Medicare. The specific HCAHPS question pertaining to nighttime noise is the lowest scoring question nationwide, and is therefore a focus of attention to find ways to decrease noise levels, thereby improving patient satisfaction. Research questions. 1. Does patient perception of hospital noise improve as measured by the HCAHPS survey question “During your hospital stay, how often was the area round around your room quiet at night?” after a move from an older, smaller, telemetry unit to a new, larger telemetry unit within a new hospital with larger private rooms, and newer building materials? 2. Is there a significant difference in decibel levels measured with the BAFX Products® Digital Sound Level Meter between the older telemetry unit and the newer unit? 3. Is there a significant relationship between self-reported patient perception of hospital noise and decibel levels as measured with the BAFX Products® Digital Sound Level Meter before and after a move from an older telemetry unit to a newer unit? Methods. HCAHPS results were collected for the months of February 2015 and April 2015 from patients in the older unit and the newer unit, respectively with attention to the nighttime noise question. Decibel levels were recorded using the BAFX Products® Digital Sound Level Meter on the older unit and the newer unit. Results. HCAHPS results of the nighttime noise question improved significantly after the move into the new medical center as hypothesized. Mean decibel levels were not found to be significantly lower on the new unit compared to those of the older unit, although decibel levels varied significantly throughout the decibel data collection period of time. Conclusion. As the perception of noise levels in the hospital continues to be the lowest scoring question on the HCAHPS survey nationwide, it is imperative that health care systems, nursing and hospital staff focus their efforts on finding ways to reduce noise, with the goal of improving patient satisfaction and promoting a healing environment

Book Synopsis Investigation of Noise in Hospital Emergency Departments by : Arun Kiran Mahapatra
Download or read book Investigation of Noise in Hospital Emergency Departments written by Arun Kiran Mahapatra and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hospital sound environment is complex. Emergency Departments (EDs), in particular, have proven to be hectic work environments populated with diverse sound sources. Medical equipment, alarms, and communication events generate noise that can interfere with staff concentration and communication. In this study, sound measurements and analyses were conducted in six hospitals total: three civilian hospitals in Atlanta, Georgia and Dublin, Ohio, as well as three Washington, DC-area hospitals in the Military Health System (MHS). The equivalent, minimum, and maximum sound pressure levels were recorded over twenty-four hours in several locations in each ED, with shorter 15-30 minute measurements performed in other areas. Acoustic descriptors, such as spectral content, level distributions, and speech intelligibility were examined. The perception of these acoustic qualities by hospital staff was also evaluated through subjective surveys. It was found that noise levels in both work areas and patient rooms were excessive. Additionally, speech intelligibility measurements and survey results show that background noise presents a significant obstacle in effective communication between staff members and patients.Compared to previous studies, this study looks at a wider range of acoustic metrics and the corresponding perceptions of staff in order to form a more precise and accurate depiction of the ED sound environment.
