Noise prevention strategies among neonatal intensive care unit nurses: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNoise is a condition that harms newborns. There are studies on the effect of noise on the newborn, but not enought there are studies on how the noise is prevented by the nurses. PURPOSE: This study was conducted to examine the knowledge, attitudes and methods used by nurses to prevent noise in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
methodsThe study carried out as qualitative phenomenological design research, the study took place between September-November 2021 with 12 NICU nurses working in a training and research hospital. A Descriptive Data Form, a voice recorder and a Semi-structured Interview Form were used in the data collection. Content analysis was performed to assess the qualitative data. COREQ (COnsolidated criteria for REporting Qualitative research) checklist was used in reporting the research. The participants’ statements were analyzed and sorted out under 4 themes.
resultsThe themes were noise awareness, noise prevention methods, unavoidable noise sources, and quiet. It was found that nurses in the NICU were aware of the sources of noise in the unit, protected the neonates from the effects of the various sounds by using sound reduction methods, and consequently observed the positive effects of these techniques on neonatal health and wellbeing. Implications for Practice: This study revealed that nurses were knowledgeable and practise in different noise prevent about methods to prevent noise in the NICU. Implications for Research: May enable the creation of standardized checklists for the NICU’s noise suppression program. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable. This research is a qualitative study.
