Brief summary
This descriptive study aims primarily to characterize the sensory profile of patients in a closed psychiatric hospital unit who use a calming room. The main questions it aims to answer are : * Could sensory information processing disorders be the cause of distress and tension in these patients? * Could users of the calming room present extreme sensory processing profiles, characterized by either hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity ? Participants will answer a survey to determine their the sensory profile. Participants can already use the calming room as part of their regular medical care and they will answer surveys before and after each use.
Interventions
OTHERCalm room
The calm room combines the effects of music, light, and videos designed with natural atmospheres. Four themes are offered in the calm room: Comfort, Optimism, Freshness, and Lullaby. These themes feature nature videos, combining relaxing images with calm musical ambiance. The lighting can be adjusted by the user, who can choose from a varied color palette. The available lights have a low glare level, and the light intensity can also be adjusted by the user. They can be used by patients any time they want and for as long as they want.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Scores of Sensory Sensitivity from the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (Brown and Dunn, 2002) for users of the calming room and non-users of the calming room | At enrollment | The sensory profile scores will be obtained through the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) scale during an individual interview following the participant inclusion. The following Sensory Sensitivity sub-score will be collected. The minimum and maximum values are from 15 to 75. A high score indicate a high sensory sensitivity. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Scores of the Sensation Seeking from the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (Brown and Dunn, 2002) for users of the calming room and non-users of the calming room | At enrollment | The sensory profile scores will be obtained through the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) scale during an individual interview following the participant inclusion. The following Sensation Seeking sub-score will be collected. The minimum and maximum values are from 15 to 75. A high score indicate a high Sensation Seeking. |
| Scores of the Sensation Avoiding from the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (Brown and Dunn, 2002) for users of the calming room and non-users of the calming room | At enrollment | The sensory profile scores will be obtained through the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) scale during an individual interview following the participant inclusion. The following Sensation Avoiding sub-score will be collected. The minimum and maximum values are from 15 to 75. A high score indicate a high Sensation Avoiding. |
| Comparison of Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile score between the user and non-user of the calming room | From enrollment to the end of observation at 2 weeks | * Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile scores (Sensory Sensitivity / Low Registration / Sensation Seeking / Sensory Avoidance) among calming room user * Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile scores (Sensory Sensitivity / Low Registration / Sensation Seeking / Sensory Avoidance) among calming room non-user |
| Anxiety for users or non-user of the calming room | From enrollment to the end of observation at 2 weeks | Anxiety is assessed from the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale for users and non-users of the calming room. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. The generally accepted threshold for significant anxiety is 20. |
| Frequency of use of the calming room | From enrollment to the end of observation at 2 weeks | \- Frequency of Calming Room Use during the 14-Day Participation Period: Total number of uses of the room / time (hours) |

| Scores of the Low Registration from the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (Brown and Dunn, 2002) for users of the calming room and non-users of the calming room | At enrollment | The sensory profile scores will be obtained through the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) scale during an individual interview following the participant inclusion. The following Low Registration sub-score will be collected. The minimum and maximum values are from 15 to 75. A high score indicate a high Low Registration. |
| Autonomy for the use of the calming room | From enrollment to the end of observation at 2 weeks | Modes of use of the calming room among patients who use this room. Qualitative measure is used for autonomy for the use of the calming room : Presence of caregiver / Partial autonomy (one-off intervention by a caregiver) / Total autonomy (nocaregiver intervention during the use) |
| User frenquecy of the calming room | From enrollment to the end of observation at 2 weeks | Number of uses of the calming room during the hospitalization |
| Description of anxiety leading to the use of the calming room among patients who use this room. | From enrollment to the the end of observation at 2 weeks | Description of early clinical signs leading to the use of the calming room among patients who use this room. Visual Analog Score for anxiety |
| Description of well-being leading to the use of the calming room among patients who use this room. | From enrollment to the the end of observation at 2 weeks | Description of early clinical signs leading to the use of the calming room among patients who use this room. \- Visual Analog Score for well-being |
| Description of physical tension leading to the use of the calming room among patients who use this room. | From enrollment to the the end of observation at 2 weeks | Description of early clinical signs leading to the use of the calming room among patients who use this room. \- Visual Analog Score for physical tension |
| Reason for resquesting of the calming room | From enrollment to the end of observation at 2 weeks | Modes of use of the calming room among patients who use this room.
