Subtitled “Evaluating Different Lighting Conditions for Performing Typical Nursing Tasks,” this study was published in the academic journal Health Environments Research & Design in November 2020. The paper explains how aspects of lighting in patient rooms are experienced and evaluated by nurses while performing simulated work under various lighting conditions. Insights are provided regarding lighting to support circadian synchronization, lighting at night, the distribution of light in the patient room, use of multiple lighting zones, and the use of colored lighting.
