在精神病住院设置中使用感觉室和类似的感觉方法正变得越来越普遍。在感官室，病人可以选择不同的感官刺激项目，可能有助于调节痛苦和提高健康。结果通常以患者自评痛苦和隔离和约束率的影响来衡量。患者使用感官室的主观体验探索较少。本文对7种不同类型的精神科住院病房中28名选择使用感官室的患者的体验进行了定性研究。数据是通过个别患者访谈和患者撰写的文本收集的。定性内容分析得出四个类别：情绪平静，身体平静，授权和意想不到的效果。大多数参与者描述了一些积极的经历，比如增强了幸福感，减少了焦虑，增强了自我管理能力，增强了自尊。我们的发现与之前的研究一致，这些研究显示出类似的积极的患者体验，并支持将感官室作为以人为本的护理的一部分。
The use of sensory rooms and similar sensory approaches in psychiatric inpatient settings is becoming increasingly common. In sensory rooms, patients can choose different sensory stimulating items that may help regulate distress and enhance well-being. Outcomes are often measured as effects on patients' self-rated distress and rates of seclusion and restraint. The subjective experiences of patients using sensory rooms have been less explored. This paper presents a qualitative study of the experiences of 28 patients who chose to use sensory rooms on seven different types of psychiatric inpatient wards. Data were collected by individual patient interviews and by texts written by patients. A qualitative content analysis resulted in four categories: emotional calm, bodily calm, empowerment, and unexpected effects. A majority of the participants described several positive experiences, such as enhanced well-being, reduced anxiety, increased self-management, and enhanced self-esteem. Our findings align with previous research that has shown similar positive patient experiences, and support the use of sensory rooms as part of person-centred care.
