摘要

Low-frequency noise (LFN) can have detrimental health effects, such as annoyance and disturbance of sleep. When the source of LFN is unknown or cannot be modified, Dutch Municipal Health Services can advise cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to cope with the LFN. However, it is unknown how individuals affected by LFN react to that advice. This study aims to explore if affected individuals have the intention to adhere to the advice of CBT and which aspects play a role in their response to this advice. Therefore, a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted. The interview guide and the data analysis were based on the theory of planned behavior. Six Dutch individuals who were affected by LFN, were interviewed. Although participants differed in their intention to adhere to the advice of CBT, none of them had applied for CBT. Affected individuals had heterogeneous attitudes towards CBT and LFN. However, there was a more commonly held attitude that in a situation in which a LFN source could not be resolved, the LFN seemed difficult to accept. Finally, the interviewees made clear that there were a lot of actors involved in the support of people perceiving LFN and that a structural framework and coordination of the support was lacking. We advise more research towards the theme of acceptance in the case that a LFN source cannot be resolved. Furthermore, we propose to practice shared decision making in the support of people perceiving LFN, in which local Public Health Services can act as a case-manager.
