Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to summary the effects of bright care, which have been examined in clinical practice. Subjects were 22 patients in the perioperative phase, scheduled to undergo orthopedic surgery. Bright care was implemented in the wards, in which 2, 500 lx of light was provided for approximately two hours in the morning. Using the Japanese version of the NEECHAM Confusion Scale, we determined the incidence of delirium. To assess the effects of adjustment of the circadian rhythm, we examined serum hormone concentrations of serotonin, and cortisol. Bright care was implemented for about one or two weeks in the surgical ward. The incidence of delirium was slightly lower in the bright care intervention group. Bright care provided when patients got up out of bed was effective to prevent the occurrence of delirium.
