Resumo(s)
Introduction: HD unit is a noisy environment for patients, and noise can
affect anxiety levels and sleep quality.
Methods: The aim of the study is to determine noise level, the relationship
between noise levels, and sleep quality and anxiety in patients in HD unit. A
descriptive and observational study design was used. Three Benetech GM1351
manual sound-level meters were used to measure noise. A patient information
form, the State Anxiety Inventory, and the modified Post-Sleep Inventory were
used for data collection.
Results: The noise range detected in the HD unit ranges from 48.40 to 72 dB
(A). Our findings show that patients in the HD unit are exposed to high noise
levels and the noise significantly negatively impacts quality of sleep and anxiety
level of the patients.
Conclusions: It is important to be aware that HD patients are constantly exposed
to high levels of noise and to plan nursing interventions to reduce this noise level.
