Abstract
Nursing pioneer, Nightingale, advocated the importance of creating an optimal healing environment. Unwanted noises have been reported to be adverse effects to healing. The objective of this project is to review available literature in search of interventions that decrease noise and increase patient satisfaction in acute care settings. A Collection of five scholarly articles were reviewed analyzing the effectiveness of noise reduction interventions. Researchers observed a significant difference in participants rating of acceptable sleep. In another study, members of the intervention group reported increased satisfaction with their sleep as a result of noise reduction interventions. Another study found that reduced hourly peak sounds had lower the amount of perceived noise among patients. The lack of quality research exploring noise reduction specifically for Medical-Surgical units has been noted as a limitation on the value of implementing such interventions.
