Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether the Dynamic Adaptive Healing Lighting System (DAHLS) increases ischemic stroke patients psychological well-being (indicated by an improved emotional state, faster recovery, and a higher satisfaction) and the staffs satisfaction as measured by various questionnaires. Parameters: Improved emotional state: - Less feelings of depression - Diminished anxiety - Reduced hostility - Increased appetite - Improved general feelings Faster recovery: - Better performance daily activities - Lower disability/dependence Improved satisfaction: - Higher patient satisfaction - Higher staff satisfaction	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The secondary objective of this study is to investigate whether the Dynamic Adaptive Healing Lighting System (DAHLS) has a measurable effect on nocturnal sleep and/or diurnal alertness, perceived stress and/or pain in ischemic stroke patients, as these aspects have been hypothesized to be the underlying mechanisms for the positive effect of DAHLS on the patient*s psychological well-being. Parameters: Improved nocturnal sleep Improved diurnal alertness Stress reduction Reduced pain perception	—
