Scenario
You are a student nurse at Rasmussen Hospital and were recently chosen to be the student representative of the newly formed Holistic Nursing Committee. Hospital leadership has asked your committee to address inpatient complaints about the amount of general noise pollution throughout the hospital.
The committee members feel this is a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how the holistic caring process can be applied to addressing the problem of noise pollution in the hospital. They have asked you to write an executive summary for hospital leadership.
You have a basic familiarity with holistic interventions that enhance the inpatient experience and promote healing, but know you will need to investigate evidence-based research about noise reduction and optimization. There are links below. The EPA and WHO information is important for this assignment.
Instructions
Write an executive summary that demonstrates the use of the holistic caring process to address general noise pollution in the hospital. The summary should be approximately 3-4 pages in length and include:
A summary of the holistic and noise interventions you recommend be implemented in the hospital to combat general noise pollution. It should address the following:
Briefly describe the interventions. Be sure to support your recommendation using at least three evidence-based research articles. At least one must be from a peer-reviewed nursing article!
Provide a statement of how the holistic mind-body-spirit intervention could be incorporated into a patient’s therapeutic care plan.
Describe how the noise intervention would reduce general noise pollution in the hospital.
Describe how you would evaluate these interventions over time.
Assessment of the problem, challenges, and outcomes associated with hospital noise pollution. Include the following:
A description of general noise pollution in the hospital setting.
At least two sources of noise pollution in the hospital setting.
At least two health effects of noise pollution on patients.
At least two health effects of noise pollution on staff.
Discussion of the evidence-based, holistic caring interventions for addressing noise pollution in the hospital setting. Include the following:
At least one recommendation for acceptable sound levels in the hospital. See EPA & WHO recommendations. Cite your source(s). Note you will address to separate interventions (below in italics):
At least one evidence-based, holistic, mind-body-spirit intervention that promotes health and well-being in the hospitalized patient (support with nursing evidence).
At least one evidence-based, holistic, environmental intervention for addressing noise pollution.
