“…Linder and Christian33 demonstrated abrupt increases in sound level and constantly elevated sound levels throughout the night on a paediatric oncology ward. Similar studies in adult hospital settings have demonstrated an association between noise and poor sleep, furthermore identifying avoidable sources of noise, such as noisy conversations among staff 34. While improving sound insulation would be expensive, staff behaviours during night shifts, as well as regulations around appropriate visiting times and television and electronic media curfew hours, could make a measureable difference 35.…”

“…Además existe una marcada relación entre exposición laboral al ruido con modificaciones de la tensión arterial y frecuencia cardiaca 6,7 y con la aparición de enfermedades cardiovasculares, además de con estrés o alteraciones digestivas 5,8 . En el entorno sanitario, recientes investigaciones 9 han determinado que incluso en los hospitales se exceden los niveles de ruido recomendados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (establecidos, para esta situación, en 35 decibelios), siendo la contaminación sonora una queja frecuente, tanto de los usuarios como del personal sanitario. Además, este factor ha mostrado especial repercusión en el tiempo de recuperación de los pacientes.…”

“…In a study of a medical/surgical inpatient unit, patients with average nighttime noise levels of approximately 50 dB slept considerably less (76 min) than patients experiencing an average noise of 43 dB (Yoder et al, 2012). Low quality and low quantity of patient sleep has been associated with increased stress, reduced immune system function, increased pain, increased delirium, and increased blood pressure (Leino-Kilpi et al, 2001;Solet, Buxton, Ellenbogen, Wang, & Carballiera, 2010;Topf & Davis, 1993;Wallace, Robins, Alvord, & Walker, 1999).…”

“…Peak noise levels refer to temporary rises in noise level caused by specific events. Peak noise has been associated with increases in medication dispensing errors (Flynn et al, 1999;Kistner, Keith, Sergeant, & Hokanson, 1994) and with disturbing and awakening patients during sleep (Aaron et al, 1996;Gabor et al, 2003;Yoder, Staisiunas, Meltzer, Knutson, & Arora, 2012).…”
