It has been shown in studies that the main cause of this noise pollution consist of the behavior related to the operating room personel and the surgical equipment. These higher than normal noise levels may increase stress and decrease communication and performance, apart from the negative health effects on the operating team. In this study, we aimed to explore the sources of noise pollution and the place of music on these effects on anesthesiology and surgical doctors. Questions formulated through a questionnaire have been asked to the anesthesiology and surgical department physicians on a voluntary basis, and their approach to the concept of noise has been assessed. The study was planned as a descriptive study. In total, highest impact from noise pollution was found to be the aspirator (74.3%), chatting (55.4%), noises from the monitors (54.8%), alarms (48.6%), surgical material (25.9%) and music (23.8%). Noise had the most impact on the concentration of the doctors with a rate of 61.9%. Anesthesiologists, when compared to other surgical department physicians, were found to be impacted most by music with 37.2%. It is not realistic to eliminate all the noise and distraction. On the other hand, it can be minimalized through sufficient measures. Yet, general measures to keep the silence isn’t too likely to keep the noise down during long operations. Whereas music stays as a matter of personal choice. Controlled studies on whether to keep or not the music in the operating rooms aren’t yet sufficient, due to which, general recommendations do not apply. As a result of this study, we have found that while music might have performance increasing effects, it still has a potential as a distraction and interfere with the communication in the operating room.展开更多
目的:系统评价音乐干预对手术室等候区病人的影响。方法:检索中国生物医学文献数据库、维普、万方、中国知网、PubMed、Web of Science、the Cochrance Library,搜索音乐干预对手术室等候区病人影响的随机对照试验(RCT),对符合质量标准...目的:系统评价音乐干预对手术室等候区病人的影响。方法:检索中国生物医学文献数据库、维普、万方、中国知网、PubMed、Web of Science、the Cochrance Library,搜索音乐干预对手术室等候区病人影响的随机对照试验(RCT),对符合质量标准的文献采用RevMan 5.3软件进行Meta分析。检索时间为建库至2022年2月11日。结果:共纳入19篇文献,包括2913例病人。Meta分析显示,音乐干预可降低手术室等候区病人的焦虑状态,包括焦虑自评量表(SAS)评分[MD=-8.72,95%CI(-11.02,-6.42),P<0.00001)],视觉模拟量表(VAS)评分[MD=-0.84,95%CI(-1.52,-0.15),P=0.02]、抑郁自评量表(SDS)评分[MD=-7.07,95%CI(-14.04,-0.11),P=0.05];音乐干预可降低病人的心率[MD=-8.60,95%CI(-11.07,-6.13),P<0.00001]、收缩压[MD=-16.20,95%CI(-24.28,-8.12),P<0.0001]。结论:现有研究证据表明音乐干预对手术室等候区病人影响有一定效果,但还需更多高质量文献分析。展开更多
