Conditions in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) may cause certain sensory stimuli that are not appropriate for the development of newborns, especially preterm infants. This study was conducted in order to determine noise levels in the NICU and to evaluate the effect of training provided for noise control.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study was conducted as a pretest\u2013posttest quasiexperimental design between September and November 2014 in a 30\u2010bed NICU of a tertiary hospital in Istanbul. A sample group consisting of 30 people (26 nurses, 4 care workers). Noise measurement devices were used in the Training Program of Noise Control.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the health professionals, 96.7% were women, 86.7% were nurses, and 63.3% were university graduates. Some 36.7% of the health professionals had worked within the unit for more than 5 years. Noise measurements of full implementations were made over three 24\u2010h periods. Noise measurements were taken before and after the training on Monday, Friday, and Sunday. Noise levels after training diminished in all three measurements, and the decrease was found statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Practice Implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Planned Noise Control Training for health professionals who work in NICUs is an effective way of reducing noise. We recommend that this training should be given to NICU health professionals and noise levels should be determined through measurements at specific times.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jspn.12181","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,13]],"date-time":"2017-04-13T18:05:59Z","timestamp":1492106759000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["The effect of training on noise reduction in neonatal intensive care units"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Mujde","family":"Calikusu Incekar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Nursing Department, Florence Nightingale Nursing Faculty, Istanbul University  Istanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Serap","family":"Balci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Nursing Department, Florence Nightingale Nursing Faculty, Istanbul University  Istanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"135","DOI":"10.3233\/NPM-2009-0061","article-title":"Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP): New frontier for neonatal and perinatal medicine","volume":"2","author":"Als H.","year":"2009","journal-title":"Journal of Neonatal\u2010Perinatal"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.nainr.2012.12.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.100.4.724"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/cicsd_36_S_69"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0884217503255009"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1875-9572(09)60076-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ANC.0000324341.24841.6e"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","first-page":"11","article-title":"Development of a learning object for caring for the sensory environment in a neonatal unit: Noise, light and handling","volume":"3","author":"Fonseca L.
