Abstract
Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of noise reduction nursing in ward on patients who underwent intracranial aneurysm embolization. Methods: Between April 2020 and March 2021, Funan County People’s Hospital implemented standard nursing care for patients who underwent intracranial aneurysm embolization, comprising 55 patients admitted during this period, constituting the control group. Subsequently, from April 2021 to March 2022, the hospital introduced noise reduction nursing measures in wards. A total of 65 patients admitted during this period were included in the study group. Data on noise levels, emotional states, and sleep statuses were collected from both groups. The comprehensive impact of noise reduction nursing on the mental and physical health of patients who underwent intracranial aneurysm embolization was evaluated. Results: Before propensity score matching (PSM), significant differences were observed in age and intracranial aneurysm diameter between the two groups (P < 0.05). However, following PSM, a total of 102 patients were included in the analysis, and no significant differences in baseline data were observed between the two groups (P > 0.05). The noise level in the study group’s ward was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). In addition, post-management, the study group exhibited lower Self-rating Anxiety Scale scores and total scores of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index compared with the control group. Moreover, the Glasgow Coma Scale score was higher in the study group, demonstrating statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The implementation of noise reduction nursing in wards effectively controls ward noise levels and improves negative mood and sleep quality among patients who underwent intracranial aneurysm embolization. These findings indicate that noise reduction nursing facilitates postoperative rehabilitation and enhances patient outcomes.
