Benefits of quiet time interventions in the intensive care unit: a literature review.

CONCLUSION: Quiet time interventions can improve patients' sleep quality and have positive physiological effects for patients, such as improved restfulness. Quiet time interventions may also promote a healthier workplace environment and increase patient and family satisfaction. Considering the potential benefits and lack of evidence of harm, the author recommends that quiet time interventions are implemented in ICUs as part of routine practice.
