The World Health Organization reports that while normal conversations occur at fifty-six to sixty dB, conversations in hospitals generally occur at higher levels due to the louder baseline noise from equipment and hospital activity. They recommend that noise levels in patient rooms be maintained at levels at or below 35 dB. Environmental modifications can effectively decrease noise levels, yet the process of caring for hospitalized patients necessitates frequent and ongoing interpersonal dialogues.

Produktbeschreibung
The World Health Organization reports that while
normal conversations occur at fifty-six to sixty dB,
conversations in hospitals generally occur at higher
levels due to the louder baseline noise from
equipment and hospital activity. They recommend that
noise levels in patient rooms be maintained at levels
at or below 35 dB. Environmental modifications can
effectively decrease noise levels, yet the process of
caring for hospitalized patients necessitates
frequent and ongoing interpersonal dialogues.
Minimizing the patient exposure to interpersonal
communications between employees requires a change in
employee behaviors. Hospital based studies have
reported some success in reducing noise levels by
establishing equipment and purchase standards related
to noise and designing units to control sounds. While
effective, structural changes and equipment purchases
can be cost prohibitive for many facilities. The goal
of this pilot study was to develop, implement and
evaluate an educational program on noise reduction.
