Abstract

Background: Students spend a considerable amount of time at school; thus, Noise pollution can have negative physical and emotional effects on them. This study aimed to determine the association between reduced noise by changing single-glazed to double-glazed windows and Stress level changes among Students. Methods: We included 384 male high school Students in this study to specify the effect of noise reduction (using double-glazed windows) on classroom Stress in Shiraz, 2018-2019 academic years. The participants were randomly selected from Schools exposed to unauthorized noise; they were divided into control (N=192) and intervention groups (N=192). Using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), we assessed Stress perception in a semi-experimental pretest and posttest design. Moreover, UT-353 digital sound level meter was used to measure Noise pollution. Results: The mean pretest and post-test scores for the intervention group were 29. 30+6. 878 and 24. 88+8. 711, respectively. The acoustic comfort induced by double-glazed windows could significantly decrease the level of Stress (P<0. 001). The researchers used mean statistics and standard deviation for descriptive data analysis and Independent t-test for inferential analysis. The results showed a significant difference between the intervention and control groups. Conclusions: Replacing single-glazed windows with double-glazed ones improved the acoustic condition of the classroom, thereby reducing the Stress of male high school Students.
