Objectives (Educational Content) :
1. Report increased knowledge related to sources of noise pollution and potential harmful effects. 2. Report at least two solutions to prevent noise pollution. 3. Report at least three ways to use music to promote a safe sound environment.
Target Audience:
General pediatricians, family physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, psychologists, and nurses.
Identified Gap:
Noise pollution can affect various clinical parameters during hospitalizations (heart rate, wound healing, staff performance, behavior, cognition and comprehension) and due to children having smaller ear canals, higher pitches are intensified. Therefore, we have to develop mitigations for this noise pollution to decrease the adverse clinical factors that can affect our pediatric patients' clinical care.
