448-1 0 +2 Questionnaire on Nurses Feeling for Hospital Odors Tomoyo ITAKURA*, **, Megumi MITSUDA*, Takuzo INAGAKI* * Graduate School of Daido Institute of Technology ** Ryugasaki Saiseikai hospital Abstract This research deals with unpleasant odors in hospitals with the goal of obtaining the basic information needed for formulating measures to prevent or eliminate such odors. In the study,we conducted a questionnaire survey of,/. nursing sta# members at two medical institutions and of +-/ nonnursing sta# members at one institution. We compared the results with past-related research associated with odors in nursing homes for the aged. 13.+ of the nursing sta# and... of the non-nursing personnel responded that they are bothered by the odors in their hospital. Main areas where odors are strong include sickrooms, sick wards, sanitary rooms and lavatories. Odors from excrement were cited as the most unpleasant, while others such as body odor, chemical odors from medicines, foods odors, tobacco smoke and odors of putrefaction were also mentioned. In the older hospital, higher values were seen particularly for awareness of odors other than that of excrement. Odors accompanied by stains and complex odors were thought to be factors in unpleasantness. It was suggested that to provide a comfortable environment in hospitals it is necessary to control the spread of stool odor, representative of odors that are temporarily strong and unpleasant, as well as complex odors and the urine odor, odors which persist in unpleasantness. The results show that in problem areas such as sickrooms, sick wards, sanitary rooms and lavatories, hospital odors are worse in intensity and unpleasantness than odors present in nursing homes for the aged, suggesting that greater measures to control odors are necessary in hospitals than in nursing homes for the aged.
