AALBORG UNIVERSITY COPENHAGEN FALL 2017 Semester No.: LiD 10 Semester theme: Master thesis Title: Healing with light in a psychiatric con- text: A research-based lighting design concept proposed for treatment of eating disorder patients in Denmark Supervisor: Michael Mullings Group No.: N/A Pernille Bech-Larsen (pbechl15) Aalborg University Copenhagen Frederikskaj 12, DK-2450 Copenhagen SV Semester Coordinator: Georgios Triantafyllidis Secretary: Lisbeth Nykjær ABSTRACT: The focus in this thesis revolves around the healing ef- fects of light in a modern psychiatric context, with treat- ment of eating disorder patients as the primary aim. The investigation of the topic includes research in symp- toms and behaviour of patients with severe eating disor- ders. As patients are extremely sensitive and unstable, care professionals from Danish eating disorder facilities have been interviewed about the illness and treatment to avoid observation. A comprehensive study in the use of circadian lighting and light therapy in psychiatric treat- ment is implemented to explore context and comorbid- ity. Investigations of lighting design in new psychiatric fa- cilities are included in a Danish state of the art section as well as current lighting standards. Criteria for a light- ing design developed with eating disorders in mind is formed based on these findings. In conclusion, a research-based lighting design con- cept has been proposed, for a 24-hour treatment facility, including a customised circadian lighting schedule. Hypotheses are to be tested and evaluated in an upcom- ing clinical trial in Spring 2018. Copyright © 2018.
