Effect of Noise Interference on Work Competency and Coping Styles in Specialist Nurses of Central Sterile Supply Departments.

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
objectiveThe study aimed to analyze the effect of noise interference on work competency, coping styles, and psychological stress among specialist nurses of central sterile supply departments (CSSDs).
methodsA pre-post study was conducted among 108 CSSD specialist nurses from four hospitals in the authors' city between September 2023 and December 2023. Noise reduction management was not implemented from September 2023 to October 2023 but was applied from November 2023 to December 2023. Daytime noise levels in CSSDs were monitored using a digital sound level meter, and noise reduction management measures were formulated based on the monitoring results. A digital noise meter was used to measure daytime noise conditions in CSSDs, and the noise levels before and after noise reduction management were recorded. Cleaning, sterilization, and packaging qualification rates were compared before and after noise reduction management. The Simplified Coping Scale and Symptom Checklist-90 were used to evaluate the coping strategies and psychological stress levels of specialist nurses before and after noise reduction management.
resultsIn CSSDs, noise levels decreased significantly after the implementation of noise reduction management (P < 0.05). The cleaning qualification rate (98.99%), sterilization qualification rate (98.49%), and packaging qualification rate (98.83%) after management were all higher than the corresponding rates before management (97.21%, 96.89%, and 96.07%; P < 0.05). After implementation, positive response scores increased, whereas negative response scores decreased (P < 0.05). Notably, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, interpersonal sensitivity, and total scores all decreased significantly after management compared with their premanagement values (P < 0.05).
conclusionNoise interference can have numerous adverse effects on specialist nurses in CSSDs, making the active implementation of noise reduction management highly important.
