    The document discusses a study examining the relationship between noise exposure, stress levels, and blood pressure among emergency room nurses. It notes that ER nurses are on the frontlines of hospitals and exposed to unwanted noise. The study aims to relate noise exposure and stress levels to blood pressure in ER nurses and assess if these factors increase cardiovascular disease risk. Previous similar studies linking noise exposure to higher blood pressure are summarized. The research gap identified is that most studies fail to consider stress as a factor. The hypothesis is that continuous exposure to noise and stress causes blood pressure in ER nurses to rise, potentially leading to long-term cardiovascular diseases.

    Relationship of Noise

    Exposure and Stress on the


    Blood Pressure Levels among
    Emergency Room Nurses

    Barba / Pinto
    Background

    Emergency Department Nurses -


    frontline of hospitals
    Noise - Unwanted noise
    Stress - reaction of a person
    towards a situation
    Blood Pressure
    Similar Studies

    Journal Summary

    Ismaila, S., & Odusote, A. (2014). Noise Concluded that high levels of noise have
    exposure as a factor in the increase of significantly higher levels of blood

    Research Gap

    Most of the studies do not


    consider stress as a factor in blood
    pressure
    Research Problem
    Previous studies have failed to consider
    the relationship of noise exposure and stress
    levels on the blood pressure levels among
    emergency room nurses.
    Objectives
    1. To relate noise exposure and stress
    levels to the blood pressure levels of
    ER nurses
    2. To assess if the two factors increases
    the risk of cardiovascular diseases
    among ER nurses.
    Conceptual Framework
    Hypothesis
    Continuous exposure to noise and stress and
    their increasing levels cause blood pressure
    levels of emergency room nurses to also rise
    that can cause severe cardiovascular diseases
    in the long-term.
