Determination of Noise Levels in the Outpatient Clinics of Medical Faculty Hospital at Duzce University
Öz: Objective: The aim of the study was to assess noise levels in the waiting areas of the outpatient clinics at DUZCE University Medical Faculty Hospital Methods: The noise level was measured continuously for five days and eight hours a day at 11 measurement points in the waiting areas of the outpatient clinics. The device was set to give an hourly average. This was a descriptive study and there was no sample selection. SPSS statistical package was used and Kruskal Wallis, MannWhitney U, Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were performed for data analysis. A value of p <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The average noise level was 62.1 dBA (min 48.5dBA and max 70.8dBA). This value and even the minimum measured value were above the threshold values specified in the EPA, WHO and Environmental Noise Assessment and Management Regulations. Although their noise levels were also above the thresholds, only the radiology outpatient clinics have significantly lower values than the others (p <0.05). The noise levels had no significant differences among days or hours. Conclusions: The measured noise levels were above the threshold values in the waiting areas of the outpatient clinics. Noise prevention measures should be considered.

Düzce Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Polikliniklerinin Gürültü Düzeylerinin Belirlenmesi
Öz: Amaç: ÇalıĢmanın amacı DUZCE Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi‘nde poliklinik bekleme alanlarının gürültü düzeylerini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Polikliniklerin bekleme alanlarında, 11 ölçüm noktasında, gürültü düzeyi sürekli beĢ gün ve günde sekiz saat ölçülmüĢtür. Cihaz saatlik ortalama verecek Ģekilde ayarlanmıĢtır. AraĢtırma tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Örneklem alınmamıĢtır. Veri Analizleri için SPSS paket programı kullanılmıĢ ve Kruskal Wallis, MannWhitney U, Friedman ve Wilcoxon testleri yapılmıĢtır. p<0.05 değeri anlamlı olarak kabul edilmiĢtir. Bulgular: Polikliniklerin bekleme alanlarında ortalama gürültü seviyesi 62.1 dBA (min 48.5 ve max 70.8) dir. Bu değer ve hatta minimum ölçülen değer bile EPA, DSÖ ve Çevresel Gürültünün Değerlendirilmesi Ve Yönetimi Yönetmeliği‘nde belirtilen eĢik değerlerin üzerindedir. Gürültü düzeyleri eĢik değerlerin üzerinde olmasına rağmen, sadece radyoloji poliklinikleri diğerlerinden anlamlı derecede daha düĢük değerlere sahiptir (p<0.05). Gürültü düzeylerinde günler, saatler arasındaki fark anlamlı bulunmamıĢtır. Sonuç: Polikliniklerin bekleme alanlarında gürültü seviyesi eĢik değerlerin üzerinde ölçülmüĢtür. Gürültü önleyici tedbirler düĢünülmelidir.
