Both the lack and excess of these parameters, in addition to causing physical and psychological negative effects, can also adversely impact productivity and efficiency. This research was conducted to determine the level of sound pressure and lighting in the dormitories of Golestan University of Medical Sciences.<br> <b>Methods:</b> This descriptive and analytical study was conducted cross-sectionally in 2022 in four dormitories of Golestan University of Medical Sciences. At different time intervals, lighting and sound pressure levels were measured.<br> <b>Results:</b> The results showed that the highest average measured sound level was in the 5th Azar dormitory (59.73 &plusmn; 10.54 dB), while the lowest was in the Alamol Hoda dormitory (45.42 &plusmn; 7.32 dB). In addition, the lowest and highest sound levels were recorded at 8:00 a.m. (53.97 &plusmn; 7.86 dB) and 9:00 p.m. (61.49 &plusmn; 9.38 dB), respectively. At 8:00 a.m., no significant difference in lighting was observed between the four dormitories. However, at 4:00 p.m., a significant difference was found between the dormitories (p < 0.05).<br> <b>Conclusion</b>: Since environmental factors such as sound and lighting can play a significant role in providing a peaceful environment for students, it is necessary to pay attention to the modification of these environments based on existing standards.</span></span> Lighting, Sound, Education, Environment 11 13 http://jhd.goums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-42-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Hadi Rahimzadeh Hadi_rahimzadeh@yahoo.com 1003194753284600291 1003194753284600291 No Department of Environmental Health Engineering, School of Health, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran Abbas Yaqoubi Joibari Abbasyaghoobi1378@gmail.com 1003194753284600292 0009-0002-4641-5634 No Student Research Committee, School of Health, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran Navisa Sadat Seyed Ghasemi seyedghasemi_n@yahoo.com 1003194753284600293 1003194753284600293 No Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, School of Health, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran Hoda Rahimifard h.rahimifard2@gmail.com 1003194753284600294 1003194753284600294 No Department of Environmental Health Engineering, School of Health, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran Zahra Qarahbash zahragharehbash1378@gmail.com 1003194753284600295 0009-0009-1643-5109 No Student Research Committee, School of Health, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran Hamidreza Heidari Hr.Heidari.tums@gmail.com 1003194753284600296 1003194753284600296 Yes School of Health, Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran
