Evaluating hospital soundscapes to improve patient experience

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017
Patients routinely perceive hospital soundscapes to be poor when rating their experience on HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) surveys administered after discharge. In this study, sound levels within five hospital units were correlated with HCAHPS noise perception survey data. Acoustic metrics including A-weighted

Comparison of momentary and retrospective soundscape evaluations

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014
The Peak and End rule describes the effect that retrospective evaluations of temporal events significantly depend on the most extreme affect (peak) experienced during an episode and on the affect at the ending. Other features, like the duration of an event, seem to be widely negligible.
