4 STATE OF THE ART 5.1 Lighting design research Initially, the objective of this thesis was to answer the following research question: “Can lighting design be used as part of the treatment of severe eating disorders, calm the patients and still support a professional work en- vironment?” In order to solve the initial research question, the three criteria (healing, at- mosphere and function) was investigated. The expectations to the lighting design, in connection to each criteria has been clarified below: • Healing: When it is a tool for a faster healing process by enhancing rest, sleep, motivation and minimise comorbidity by intentionally stimulating the human biological clock. • Atmosphere: When it is calming and comforting for the patients both emotionally and aesthetically, by stimulating the anxiety and have positively effects on the mood and overall wellbeing. • Function: When it supports the professional functions of the staff throughout day and night with minimal disruption of their sleep, thus giving the staff a better work environment. To answer the initial research question, the literature review elaborated on current findings and knowledge of light in psychiatric treatment. Investigat- ing the somatic, cognitive and emotional effects of natural and artificial light on the mammalian body clock. (2.0) Findings from the literature review was subsequently linked to ED. Where internal symptoms (e.g. body clock, sleep patterns and hormone segrega- tion, wellbeing, mood and energy level etc.) was linked to light therapy and discussed. (3.0) Through a thorough review of symptoms and behaviour of severe ED and a line of expert interviews, these effects were summarised in connection to the disease. (3.3) Understanding the changing work hours, schedules and demands from the staff in the facility has been important. Supporting their job functions, by meeting current professional standards (DS/EN-12464-1:2011, 2012) should be of top priority in the lighting design. Elaborating on this and the three criteria, the final research question was formed: “How can lighting design be used as part of the treatment (healing) of severe eating disorders in a 24h facility, calm the patients (atmosphere) and still support a professional work environment (function)?” Salient touch points from the discussion (3.0) were taken into account in the evaluating of how to work with the three criteria in the lighting design.
