The Silent Operating Theatre Optimisation System for positive impact on surgical staff-members' stress, exhaustion, activity and concentration in urologic da Vinci® surgeries
The Silent Operating Theatre Optimisation System for positive impact on surgical staff-members' stress, exhaustion, activity and concentration in urologic da Vinci® surgeriesNoise in the operating room (OR) is a stressor with far-reaching negative consequences. The Silent Operating Theatre Optimisation System (SOTOS) suppresses the noise level in the OR and improves the communication of the OR-staff. This study investigates whether SOTOS has a positive impact on the OR-staff’s perceived stress, exhaustion, activity and concentration. http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjinnov-2019-000413https://www.psych.uni-goettingen.de/de/communication/publications/publications-folder/articlereference-2020-10-07-5334200342https://www.psych.uni-goettingen.de/@@site-logo/university-of-goettingen-logo.svg
