“…9) Although a number of studies have focused on the effect of artificial valve sound on QoL, few studies have investigated the effect of artificial heart valve sounds on patients' QoL at different time points. [4][5][6][7] Moritz evaluated the sound pressure levels of the CarboMedics (CM) valve, Bjork Shiley (BS) valve, and Duromedicus-Edwards (DE) valve at 1 cm of the chest wall and found that the sound pressure levels of the BS and DE valves were significantly higher. 10) Similarly, Laurens et al evaluated the sound pressure levels of CM, BS, and SJM valves at 1 cm from the chest wall and found that the sound pressure levels of BS valves (55.4 dB) were significantly higher than those of the CM valves (46.0 dB) and SJM valves (44.1 dB).…”

“…Through a literature search, many articles on the effects of mechanical mitral valve sounds on QoL were found, but few articles have focused on the effects of changes in mechanical mitral valve sounds over time on patients’ QoL. 4 – 7 ) We conducted this study to compare the different types of prosthesis mechanical mitral valves (ATS, Sorin, and SJM) and assess the effects of different prosthesis valve sounds on patient QoL at different follow-up times.…”

Objective: To compare the effects of the sounds of different types of mechanical mitral valves on the quality of life (QoL) of patients at different follow-up times. Methods: We collected data from 150 patients who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement. Three time points were assessed, including at discharge, the third postoperative month (POM3), and the twelfth postoperative month (POM12). The SF-36 and a self-questionnaire were used to assess the QoL. Results: Regarding the SF-36 scores, the ATS valve was superior to the Sorin and SJM valves in terms of some items. Moreover, the scores at discharge of all three mechanical valve groups were lower than those at POM3 and POM12. For the self-questionnaire scores, with the increase in postoperative time, the number of patients affected by the mechanical valve sounds decreased gradually. Considering the relevant influencing factors, older women were more likely to be affected by the valve sounds than were younger individuals and men. Conclusion: The overall postoperative QoL improved for patients who underwent mechanical mitral valve replacement. In the comparative study, the impact of the ATS valve was better than those of the Sorin and SJM valves, but this difference gradually disappeared over time.

“…Increasingly more researchers are concerned that the noise generated by mechanical valves may negatively affect the quality of life of patients. Studies have shown that at least one-third of patients after mechanical heart valve replacement are concerned about the sound from the mechanical valves and believe that the sounds will affect their quality of life, although few complain that the sounds seriously affect survival [14][15][16]. A case report even described a patient who underwent secondary surgery for bioprosthetic valve replacement due to noise intolerance to mechanical valve closure [17].…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous nursing interventions on valve noiserelated anxiety in patients undergoing mechanical mitral valve replacement (MVR) and to analyze its impact on patient quality of life. Methods: Ninety patients who underwent mechanical MVR were divided into two groups. All patients in group A received routine nursing care. In addition to this intervention, an assigned nurse periodically provided patients in group B with continuous nursing interventions and ongoing health consultations during a 1-year follow-up. A hospital anxiety and depression (HAD) scale, a customized questionnaire and a Short Form Health Status 36 (SF-36) score questionnaire were used as the research tools. Results: The postoperative HAD scores were better in group B than in group A, but the differences in most of the data were not statistically significant between the groups, except for HA sections 0-7 and 11-21. Based on the customized questionnaire, the subjective disturbance level was significantly lower in group B than in group A (the results of Q1 and Q4 were statistically significant). With regard to the SF-36 scores, group B was superior to group A in general health, emotional function and mental health, while the other dimensions had no significant difference. Conclusions: Compared with routine care, patients who received continuous care intervention after mechanical MVR had fewer anxiety symptoms and better quality of life.

“…There was full of literature that addressed the intersection of quality of life and noise pollution worldwide. A number of measurement tools were adopted to reflect the relationship between noise and HRQOL, such as WHOQOL-BREF [32], Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire [33], SF-36 [34], and Hearing Environments and Reflection on Quality of Life questionnaire [35]. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study shows that individuals with high noise sensitivity (NS) tend to have degraded HRQOL compared to individuals with low NS [36].…”

Background Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures are being used in increasingly diverse populations. However, there have no known studies to date to examine the associations between perceived environmental pollution and HRQoL in a Chinese adult population. This study aimed to report the associations between air, water, noise pollution and HRQoL among Chinese populations. Methods A cross-sectional survey data was used from East Asian Social Survey 2010 with a sample of 3866 Chinese populations in environmental pollution. HRQoL was computed by SF-12 and reflected by physical and mental component summary score (PCS & MCS). Ordinary least regression analyses were used to examine associations between perceived environmental pollution and PCS and MCS scores. Models in SPSS PROCESS were selected to demonstrate the moderating and mediating effects. Results Only considering one pollutant, perceived air pollution and perceived water pollution had significant associations with PCS and MCS scores. Perceived noise pollution had significant associations with PCS scores. Perceived air×noise, air×water, noise×water, and air×noise×water pollution had significant associations with PCS and MCS scores. Conditional (moderated) mediation showed that there were no moderating effects and mediating effects of perceived one pollutant on another pollutant. Conclusions Co-occurring perceived environmental pollution were mainly associated with progressive increase in PCS and MCS scores among the Chinese adult population. These results suggested that some effective policies should be carried out to improve environmental quality across Chinese adult population.
