This study aimed to investigate the effect of waiting area a gastrointestinal endoscopy department on negative emotions. Methods retrospective was conducted clinical data 126 patients undergoing Cangnan Hospital Wenzhou Medical University from January December 2023. were divided into low-noise group (noise level <50 dB, n = 62) and high-noise nts 64) according average levels area. Anxiety (numeric rating scale [NRS]) emotions (negative affect [NA] scores positive NA schedules) compared between groups. Pearson correlation analysis assess emotional Results exhibited higher NRS (distress, angry, fearful, jittery) than those group. Correlation revealed correlations feelings anxiety ( r 0.303, P 0.002), distress 0.289, 0.003), angry 0.298, fearful 0.280, 0.004), jittery 0.302, 0.002). Conclusion Reducing departments may improve Measures such as optimizing layouts installing sound barriers can reduce enhance experience.
