The nurse presented her findings at a national conference and then published her results in a peer-reviewed academic nursing journal. A nurse at the adult hospital in town wondered if these findings could be translated to adult patients. She partnered with others at her hospital, wrote a protocol, received IRB approval, and consented and enrolled 25 patients. She followed the same protocol and measured music volume, but she decided to create her own satisfaction survey that was less time consuming. She simply gave her patients a paper to fill out at discharge that asked one question:

How satisfied were you with your hospital stay?

• Very satisfied
• Somewhat satisfied
• Neutral
• Somewhat dissatisfied
• Very dissatisfied

She sent her data off to her statistician and here is the SPSS output she got back:
