RESUMO

Objective: To assess the noise level in the delivery room during the birth process in two public hospitals in the state of Sao Paulo, one of them a teaching hospital (H1), considering the type of delivery. Methodology: This is exploratory, descriptive and observational. We used a decibel meter to record the sound pressure in decibels(dB) that remained on during the time of delivery and also form a kind of check list for an notation variables (duration, number of people in the room, maximum, average and minimum noise). Data collection follows the standards of ISO10-151 and was conducted from august 2010 to January 2011. We used the test-Kolmogorv Smiinov to asses adherence to the normal distribution of variables. The noise levels were compared according to the hospital using the Mann-Whiteney and compared according to type of delivery employing the Kruskal-Wallis. Results: The average overall noise level was 64 dB, from 61.2 dB to 65.3 dB for H1 and H2. A vaginal delivery without analgesia had average noise of 66.9 dB, followed by a 63 dB for vaginal delivery with analgesia and 61.8 dB for CS. The number of people in the room was higher in the teaching hospital (p=0,0008) and cesarean delivery (p=<0,0001). Conclusion: The average overall was 64 dB, superior to all recommended values by current regulatory standards, national and international in both institutions and all types of current delivery, representing a concern for all professionals directly involved in maternity care
