Perceptions On Music And Noise In The OR

The investigators designed 3 versions of the semi structured interview guide for each of the surgeons/anesthesiologists (Appendix A.1), residents (Appendix A.2) and nurses (Appendix A. 3). All versions were subdivided into 3 general categories: 1) participant demographics such as participant's age, years of experience, specialty, years of employment at the institution 2) participant's perceptions of noise in the OR, what they considered as sources of noise, the loudness level, whether they thought this impacted their concentration, performance, communication, whether this was distracting or helpful in different stages of the operation, and 3) perceptions on music.
