摘要
早产儿在其发育的关键时期在新生儿重症监护病房[NICU]得到照顾。照顾者有责任促进保护他们神经发育的环境。有害的刺激,如噪音,被认为对短期和长期的健康结果都有害。最近的研究表明,在新生儿病房内没有达到建议的水平,改变对帮助达到这些水平至关重要(Mayhew等人,2022;Best et al., 2020;Chawla et al., 2017)。进行了一项研究,以测量新生儿重症监护病房内的声级。结果与美国儿科学会建议的推荐水平进行了比较。分析结果证实,没有达到建议的水平,使新生儿的发病率更高。采用计划、研究、行动[PDSA]循环,向在新生儿病房工作的所有保健专业人员提供教育和研究结果。随后的读数在干预后进行,并比较前后的数据。
Noise levels in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit: an observational study
Preterm infants are cared for in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit [NICU] during a critical period of their development. Caregivers are responsible for promoting an environment that is protective of their neurodevelopment. Noxious stimuli, such as noise, are recognised as harming both short and long-term health outcomes. Recent studies suggest that recommended levels are not being met within neonatal units and changes are crucial in helping to meet them (Mayhew et al., 2022; Best et al., 2020; Chawla et al., 2017). A study was undertaken to measure the sound levels within a NICU. The results were compared with the recommended levels as advised by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Analysed results confirm that recommended levels were not being achieved putting neonates at higher risk of morbidity. Using a Plan, Do Study, Act [PDSA] cycle, education was provided to all healthcare professionals working within the neonatal unit along with the study results. Subsequent readings were taken following the intervention and compared pre and post data.
期刊介绍:
Aims & Scope: This is the practical, bimonthly, research-based journal for all professionals concerned with the care of neonates and their families, both in hospital and the community. It aims to support the development of the essential practice, management, education and health promotion skills required by these professionals. The JNN will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and information between the range of professionals working in this field; promote cooperation between these professionals; facilitate partnership care with families; provide information and informed opinion; promote innovation and change in the care of neonates and their families; and provide an education resource for this important rapidly developing field.
