| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Patient information in medical facilities are all personal and confidential. To have adequate environment in health-care facilities, health-care professions should considered speech privacy for patients and health-care professionals to have a secure medication and to create a good working environment. Most of Japanese community pharmacies are small in space and constructed with an open-plan space which seems to be difficult to improve acoustic environment.
To establish a method that pharmacists can evaluate the state of the speech environment in their facilities, we analyzed and classified influencing factors which influence patient-pharmacist conversation such as the level of overhearing, congestion of waiting patients. Also, as the physical environmental aspect, we conducted the effects of sound insulation achieved by installing partitions on a counter, and we have proposed a speech privacy critical distance based on room acoustics.
