1 BACKGROUND 1.2 Research case: Psykiatrisk Center Ballerup, Center for spiseforstyrrelser In a new 24 hours housing facility for patients with severe ED in Psykiatrisk Center Ballerup (PCBA ED) a line of experiments with CL is currently planned for Spring 2018, as part of a Lighting Metropolis cooperation between Aal- borg University (AAU), Region Hovedstadens Psykiatri and Zumtobel. AAU will be in charge of CL scenarios and collecting data, HSP will be in charge of the clinical tests and Zumtobel will deliver fixtures for the eating area. The new PCBA ED facility consist of five consecutive buildings designed by Rubow Architects, starting with an open day centre and ending in a 24- hour facility with twelve rooms for patients with ED stage 1-3. This building is numbered 55 and will be referred to as “PCBA ED 55”. PCBA ED 55 is not an intensive care unit, which differs in the freedom of the hospitalised patients, how they are allowed to move around in and outside the facility. According to the protocol for the future research project “The effects of artificial lighting on symptoms of eating disorder” the objective will, among others be focussed on “exploring if and how artificial lighting affects symp- toms of eating disorders (ED)”. Practically, the study will consist of three lighting scenarios, each will run for duration of one month. During the three periods, all movement of the patients will be tracked via specialised PIR sen- sors, allowing privacy for the patients and following ethical guidelines. The study will investigate if CL will have an effect on the behaviour and symp- toms of the patients. (Sjögren, Mullins and Triantafyllidis, 2017) 1.3 Vision Inspired by the upcoming research project, this thesis will seek to determine if there is any reason to expect that the lighting design, and especially CL will show any effect on the emotional, cognitive or somatic symptoms in PCBA ED 55 inpatients. By investigating the positive effects of light in the treat- ment of a range of psychiatric diseases, the hope is to be able to determine if lighting design can add to the treatment of AN and BN. “What if light therapy could make a positive contribution to the non-in- vasive treatment process of severe eating disorders, by calming the inpa- tients and ED related anxiety, accelerate the healing process by stabilising the circadian rhythm and reducing the hospitalisation time, creating a personalised and comforting environment, while sustaining the demands of a professional work environment? “ Master thesis · MSc Lighting Design · Pernille Bech-Larsen · Fall 2017 11PDF Image | Healing with light
