8 FINAL SUMMARY The customised scheme for circadian lighting will be implemented in PCBA ED 55 as the normal setting after the finishing of the three scenarios in the trial, and can thus be evaluated and compared to the three test scenarios. Future evaluation of the circadian stimuli (CS) potential of all installed fix- tures in PCBA ED should be initiated during the project, using the circadi- an stimulus metric for evaluating the circadian potential. (Rea and Figueiro, 2016) In addition, the perceived “pleasing” level of the combination of lux and CCT could also be tested among patients, according to the Kruithof scale. (Oi and Takahashi, 2007) The population, chosen for the future study will consist of twelve hospital- ised patients with severe ED (stage 1-3), living in a 24-hour treatment facility. It is not an intensive care facility, meaning that the subjects are all allowed to move around freely inside the facility, stage 2 and 3 can also go outside without staff attendance. 8.1.3 Hypotheses The proposed lighting design concept will not be implemented in PCBA ED 55, but the design hypotheses can be evaluated during the Spring trial, according to the installed lighting design. After the trial is finished in Fall 2018, according to the current plan, the stated hypotheses can be consid- ered for future research and evaluation. The research protocol (Sjögren, Mullins and Triantafyllidis, 2017) suggest that the outcome of the future study will help identify effect and use of cir- cadian lighting in psychiatric treatment, as specified in colour temperatures, spectral distribution and light intensity. All facilities included in the state of the art review are Danish, and cover Jutland, and the Islands Fyn and Seeland. The same applies to the expe- rience of the interviewed experts, in order to make sure that the scope is expanded to the rest of Denmark and not limited to Ballerup Psykiatri. Due to the severity of the disease, patients in Ballerup could not be in- terviewed or observed for this thesis. Instead, information about ED was obtained through a lecture (Landsforeningen mod spiseforstyrrelser og selvskade, no date) with three former AN and BN patients, a meeting with an AN blogger (Grønnebæk, no date) as well as a line of interviews with nurses and psychologists that have been involved in current treatment of severe ED in Denmark. The group was combined of experts working in different facilities, making sure that they had previous knowledge from different groups of patients. This ensured that the answers could be applied to a larger group of ED patients. The relevance of seven experts can be justified by the difference in background, work experience and knowledge from different facilities. All experts volunteered for the interviews and had no previous experience with light therapy.
