Journal ArticleDOI
Psychiatric ward design can reduce aggressive behavior
TL;DR: A conceptual model proposing that aggression in psychiatric facilities may be reduced by designing the physical environment with ten evidence-grounded stress-reducing features was tested in a newer hospital in Sweden having wards with nine of the ten features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Healing built-environment effects on health outcomes: environment–occupant–health framework
TL;DR: There was no adequate framework that could integrate existing research findings holistically under a holistic conceptual evaluative framework, and an environment–occupant–health (E-O-H) framework is proposed, taking a holistic perspective to identify and evaluate different HBE characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing hospital ICU noise: a behavior-based approach.
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that behavioral modification alone is not adequate to control excessive noise and there is a need for further research involving the supportive involvement by clinicians, ICU staff, along with effective medical device alarm management, and continuous process improvement methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noise Pollution in the Operating Theatre
B. Hodge,John F. Thompson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, sound levels during a typical major operation were measured to identify the main sources of noise in the operating theatre and the noisiest time was usually during the preparation period of the operation; during surgery, noise levels were much higher than levels of normal speech between staff.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nurses' alarm fatigue questionnaire: development and psychometric properties.
TL;DR: The results of the study show that the developed questionnaire is valid and reliable enough for measuring alarm fatigue in nurses.

The performance of intensive care units: does good management make a difference?
Stephen M. Shortell,Jack E. Zimmerman,Denise M. Rousseau,Robin R. Gillies,Douglas P. Wagner,Elizabeth A. Draper,William A. Knaus,Joanne Duffy +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the factors associated with risk-adjusted mortality, risk adjusted average length of stay, nurse turnover, evaluated technical quality of care, and evaluated ability to meet family member needs.
The effects of noise on man.
TL;DR: In this paper, a book on noise effects on man covering audiometry, aural reflex, hearing damage risk, physiological responses, motor performance and speech communication is presented, with a focus on the effects of noise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crying wolf: false alarms in a pediatric intensive care unit.
TL;DR: Over 94% of alarm soundings in a pediatric ICU may not be clinically important, suggesting present monitoring systems are poor predictors of untoward events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitor Alarm Fatigue: Standardizing Use of Physiological Monitors and Decreasing Nuisance Alarms
TL;DR: Although alarms are important and sometimes life-saving, they can compromise patients' safety if ignored and be beneficial as a starting point for revamping alarm management throughout the institution.
