ICU Environmental Noise and Healthcare Workers
Sponsor: Tepecik Training and Research Hospital
Summary
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the effects of environmental noise in the intensive care unit on healthcare workers. Healthcare personnel working in intensive care units and hospital wards will be compared in terms of cochlear function, noise sensitivity, anxiety levels, perceived noise burden, and functional effects of noise exposure. The study seeks to determine whether long-term occupational exposure to intensive care unit noise is associated with measurable auditory and non-auditory effects in healthcare workers.
