OBJECTIVE:

The objective of this evidence-based investigation is to determine the efficacy of a quiet-time intervention to reduce noise in the hospital setting.

BACKGROUND:

For many reasons, noise continues to increase in the hospital setting.

METHODS:

In a descriptive comparative design, using a convenience sample of hospitalized patients, 80 patients were assessed on their perceptions of noise using the Patient Survey on Noise During Hospital Stay.

RESULTS:

Data revealed favorable responses to quiet time, with 70% of subjects reporting quiet-time intervention to be effective in reducing noise. Sixty percent of participants felt that 1 hour of quiet time helped to facilitate a quieter, more restful environment for the whole day.

CONCLUSION:

A quiet-time intervention is effective in addressing patient perception of noise while in the acute care hospital setting.
