“…In the third study, it was determined that the intervention did not make a significant difference between experimental and control groups (p > 0.05). Le Guen et al [14] determined that the difference was statistically significant after the intervention according to the MOSS and SS evaluations (Mean/SD 20 [4] ± 15 [5], p = 0.006).…”

“…In the literature, it is reported that the mean ICU noise level is 53-65 dB, and it rises above 80 dB in a 24-h period. The World Health Organization states that the optimum standard noise levels in the ICU during the day and night should be 35 and 30 dB, respectively, and that higher noise levels can cause adverse effects such as sleep disturbances, low arterial O 2 saturation, hypertension, delayed recovery, and increased risk of rehospitalization in patients [4].…”

Introduction: Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) have severe and complex disease characteristics and their sleep problems should not be ignored. Poor-quality sleep is associated with impaired immune function and associated susceptibility to disease and infection, decreased energy levels, delirium, delays in recovery. This study is conducted to examine the results of studies examining sleep quality using earplugs and eye masks in the ICU. Methods: PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Medline databases were scanned using “Earplugs, Eye masks, Sleep quality, Intensive care units” as keywords. For the search strategy, a query in a patient-intervention-compare-result (PICO) format was used. P: Patients in intensive care; I: Earplugs and eye mask; C: Noise, Light, and Sleep Quality; O: Using earplugs and eye masks improves sleep quality. Results: We included the 17 most eligible studies meeting defined inclusion/exclusion criteria involving 1,372 participants. Randomized controlled trial was used mostly as study design. The interventions within the scope of the studies were earplugs, eye masks, relaxing music, and quiet time protocol. Richard Campbell Sleep Questionnaire and Verran and Snydern Halpern Sleep Scale were the most used scale. Most of the studies reviewed found that the use of non-pharmacological interventions showed a significant improvement in sleep quality. Earplugs and eye masks were found to have potential positive effects on sleep quality and delirium incidence in ICU patients. Conclusion: The use of earplugs and eye masks is a noninvasive, economical, and effective way to improve sleep quality in adult ICU patients.

STUDY SELECTION: Two independent reviewers assessed titles and abstracts against study eligibility criteria. Noise mitigating ICU studies were included when having at least one quantitative acoustic outcome measure expressed in A-weighted sound pressure level with an experimental, quasi-experimental, or observational design. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus, and a third independent reviewer adjudicated as necessary. DATA EXTRACTION: After title, abstract, and full-text selection, two reviewers independently assessed the quality of each study using the Cochrane's Risk Of Bias In Nonrandomized Studies of Interventions tool. Data were synthesized according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, and interventions were summarized.DATA SYNTHESIS: After screening 12,652 articles, 25 articles were included, comprising either a mixed group of healthcare professionals (n = 17) or only nurses (n = 8) from adult or PICU settings. Overall, the methodological quality of the studies was low. Noise reduction interventions were categorized into education (n = 4), warning devices (n = 3), multicomponent programs (n = 15), and architectural redesign (n = 3). Education, a noise warning device, and an architectural redesign significantly decreased the sound pressure levels. CONCLUSIONS:Staff education and visual alert systems seem promising interventions to reduce noise with a short-term effect. The evidence of the studied multicomponent intervention studies, which may lead to the best results, is still low. Therefore, high-quality studies with a low risk of bias and a long-term follow-up are warranted. Embedding noise shielding within the ICU-redesign is supportive to reduce sound pressure levels.
