Summary
Nurses with misophonia, a sensitivity to sounds, may provide lower quality patient care. Identifying and supporting these nurses can enhance care quality and patient safety in intensive care units.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare research
- Clinical nursing
- Psychology
Background:
- Misophonia is characterized by abnormal emotional responses to specific environmental sounds.
- Intensive care units (ICUs) present unique soundscapes that may trigger misophonia.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the relationship between nurses' responses to environmental sounds and patient care quality.
- To explore the impact of misophonia on nursing care behaviors in the ICU setting.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive, cross-sectional study utilizing the Misophonia Scale and Caring Behaviours Scale-24.
- Data analysis included Mann Whitney U, Kruskall Wallis tests, and Pearson correlation coefficient.
- A significance level of p < 0.05 was applied.
Main Results:
- Participants reported moderate scores on both the Misophonia Scale and Caring Behaviours Scale-24.
- A moderate negative correlation was observed between misophonia severity and caring behaviors.
Conclusions:
- Nurses experiencing misophonia may be negatively impacted by ICU sounds, potentially affecting their patient care.
- Early identification and enhanced coping strategies for nurses with misophonia are recommended to improve patient care and safety.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
