It is known that noise pollution in hospitals affects the health of both patients and the technical health care team (doctors, nurses, technicians). Most of a hospital environment is affected by noise from equipment and machines with high sound pressure levels (SPL). The main objective of this joint project is to carry out an assessment of noise pollution in hospital environments (emergency room, surgical center and emergency room) in Brazil and the USA to investigate the effects on the healthcare community for patients. It is planned to carry out a survey of the NPS of noise sources (equipment and machines) to control and reduce noise in hospital locations through the use of technical and engineering principles applied to rehabilitate the hospital environment. This project will make a significant impact by identifying the SPLs of noise exposure, the stress factors in a noisy environment and to reduce the discomfort and anxiety caused by noise in workers. This research will be developed in partnership by the proponent and coordinator of the team of students from the Vibration and Acoustics Laboratory (LVA) and the Comfort Laboratory (Labcon) at UFSC and the research team of Profa.
