概要 |
Noise pollution poses health risks on human specially at sensitive indoor environments like health facilities. This research aimed to examine the relationship between occupational noise levels, arteri...al blood pressure and pulse rate for employees at general intensive care units in Gaza Strip. The arterial blood pressure and pulse rate were examined before and after 5hours exposure to noise for 80 employees (72 males and 8 females). In this study, two instruments were used; Sound Level Meter and Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. Correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between the variables. The results show that the noise levels at the intensive care units were found to be between 52.52 and 65.74 Decibel (dB) with a mean of 60.33 dB which is far beyond the WHO standard of 35 dB. There was a significant positive correlation between noise level and average of pulse rate. The research findings show the urgency in acting to reduce the noise levels which may pose health risk on the intensive care units occupants続きを見る
