Abstract

Background: In general a pleasant enviornment has a positive effect on the occupant’s feeling of well-being and this can affect patient recovery and staff performance. Therefore lighting, colour design, aroma and good behaviour of doctors are very essential Based on these ideas we conducted a study in our hospital premises as to how our 5 senses can help to conceptualise a dermatology operation theatre.
Method: The study was carried out in the Department of Dermatology, Employees State Insurance – Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (ESI-PGIMSR), Basaidarapur, New Delhi. 120 was the sample size which was divided in to 3 groups of doctors, nurses and patients of 40 each. All cases were evaluated using case record proforma comprising of their demographic profile and 21 questions which was prevalidated.
Results: In choosing colour of wall paint, 60% doctors opted white and 32.5% yellow. 53.3% selected white in total followed by yellow 21.7% followed by blue 15.8% and vibrant colour 9.2%. While choosing colour of linen (bed sheets) most doctors chose green colour (55%). All (100%) preferred provision of windows/ ventilator in OT for natural light. Hearing calming words by doctors before surgery was appreciated by all nurses and patients (100%).
Conclusion: Five senses of human body play an important role while conceptualising the operation theatre.

Introduction

The quality of the visual environment has a positive effect on the occupant’s feeling of well-being and in the case of hospitals and healthcare buildings this can affect patient recovery and staff performance. For these reasons, it is essential to consider lighting and colour design at the early stages of specifying and designing a building. The colour and materials of window treatments such as blinds, curtains or upholstery needs to be chosen with care so as to enhance the interiors or control glare. Hence, a properly designed visually soothing environment, with the appropriate use of colour and lighting, will give necessary benefits to patients [1]. Similarly, behaviour of doctors towards their patients is also very important and is at par with their clinical skills. His/her good and polite behaviour is an important component of quality health care. It helps in allaying nervousness and anxiety of the patient [2]. Aromas have different effects on everyone.  Smells can affect both our short and long term moods. Creating an environment with pleasant smells evoke positive, calm and good emotions [3]. An emotional response of the secretion of immune-boosting hormones is induced by certain music [4]. Based on these ideas we conducted a study in our hospital premises as to how our 5 senses can help to conceptualise a dermatology operation theatre.

Aim of the Study

The aim of the study was to conceptualise dermatology operation theatre based on perception of the five human senses using set of questionnaire.

Method and Material

The study was carried out in the Department of Dermatology, Employees State Insurance – Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (ESI-PGIMSR), Basaidarapur, New Delhi after the ethical clearance from the institutional ethics committee. It was a cross sectional study. 120 was the sample size which was divided in to 3 groups of doctors, nurses and patients of 40 each. All cases were evaluated using case record proforma (Table 1) comprising of their demographic profile and 21 questions in the questionnaire which was prevalidated. The questionnaire was answered comprehensively.

Discussion

Colour is a powerful communication tool and can be used to signal action, influence mood, and even influence physiological reactions. Feelings about colour are often deeply personal and rooted in your own experience or culture. For example, while the colour white is used in many Western countries to represent purity and innocence, it is seen as a symbol of mourning in many Eastern countries. While perceptions of colour are somewhat subjective, there are some colour effects that have universal meaning. Colour psychology suggests that various shades can have a wide range of effects, from boosting our moods to causing anxiety (Table 2). For example the colour white can feel fresh and clean. The colour is often used to evoke a sense of youth and modernity. People often describe blue as the colour of stability and safety. Driving a blue car might indicate that you are dependable and trustworthy. A person might prefer brighter, more attention-getting colours when they are younger, but find themselves drawn to more traditional colours as they grow older. Room colours can also be used to evoke specific moods, such as painting a bedroom a soft green to create a peaceful mood [5]. Colour psychology is mainly distinguished by two categories of colours: warm and cool. Warmer colours stimulate feelings of anger, hostility as well as comfort and warmth. Cooler colours, on the other hand, help instil feelings of sadness but calmness as well. All cool colours like green and blue are easy on the eye muscles and hence facilitate their relaxation. Offices having warmer coloured hues such as browns and golds actually make people feel warmer while those with lighter colours like pale blue or white make people feel cooler. A scientific experiment helps demonstrate colour psychology better: Two study groups were each given sleeping pills. The only difference was that one group was given a “blue pill” while another was given a “pink pill”. 72% of those who took the blue pill reported feeling sleepy as compared to only 32% of those who took the pink one. This could be because of the fact that blue inspires calmness and serenity and is associated with water and peace [6]. Certain colours have even been associated with increased blood pressure, increased metabolism, and eyes train [5].

A great deal of thought and consideration must be given to placement and usage of colour psychology in work and home environments as it directly impacts one’s physical and mental welfare [6]. Experts have found that while colour can have an influence on how we feel and act, these effects are subject to personal, cultural, and situational factors. More scientific research is needed to gain a better understanding of colour psychology [5].

Table 2: Colour psychology [5]

Windows are of key importance; as well as natural light, they provide an outlook, contact with the outside and access to sunlight about which patients are extremely positive. Windows should therefore be sized and positioned to provide a view out, regardless of location, as well as a reasonable average daylight factor. Lighting has a considerable effect on the appearance of a space [1].

Healthcare professionals’ empathic behaviour is an important component of quality health care. Patients’ reports suggest that empathy is often lacking. Specific factors that may facilitate or inhibit empathetic behaviour have not been extensively examined [2]. Patients indicate a need to be recognized and treated as individuals by hospital staff. They are concerned with their illnesses and conditions and want to be kept informed .An atmosphere respectful of the individual patient should be focused. Fear and anxiety associated with illness can be as debilitating as the physical effects.  Proper coordination of care can ease those feelings. Modifying external behaviour and how doctors communicate is very important. More value should be placed on talking with patients. A doctor's behaviour also serves as a model to the students, interns, and medical staff around him. The benefits of setting the behavioural tone cannot be underestimated [7].

Our mental state is influenced and often dominated by olfactory experiences that guide our senses. Whether it is an apple that looks rotten or a rose that seems freshly watered, behind the scenes it’s our sense of smell that’s responsible for much of those sensations [8].

An odour has no personal significance until it becomes connected to something that has meaning. The capacities for both smell and emotion are rooted in the same network of brain structures, the limbic system. The olfactory centre also interacts directly with the hippocampus, a brain area involved in the formation of new memories. Scents can have positive effects on mood, stress reduction, sleep enhancement, self-confidence, and physical and cognitive performance.

Aromas have different effects on everyone, but the natural fragrances are odours for the masses. Peppermint is generally invigorating. It increases activity in the brain area that wakes us up in the morning. Jasmine is a sleep aid. The scent increases the brain waves associated with deep sleep. Lavender is generally relaxing. Smells can affect both our short and long term moods. Creating an environment with pleasant smells which evoke positive, calm or otherwise good emotions is rather simple and can have a profound impact on our mood [8].

Any patient going into surgery will naturally feel anxious. That’s why standard procedure is to give them a dose of anxiety medicine, typically hydroxyzine, which helps them relax before receiving anaesthesia [10]. However, “conversational hypnosis”, does a better job than pills for relaxing patients, suggests research being presented at the ANESTHESIOLOGY™ 2015 annual meeting. According to Dr. Boselli, the study suggests that conversational hypnosis might increase patient self-reported comfort during regional anesthesia without medication, and that this effect might be objectively monitored using the ANI Analgesia/Nociception Index (ANI) [11].

Listening to music has been shown to improve memory functioning, increased rate of healing, improve your workouts and more. Just like listening to slow music to calm the body, music can also have a relaxing effect on the mind [12] Fast, upbeat music provide a burst of energy while exercising, slower music has been shown to be more relaxing. Classical music, in particular, can help slow the pulse and heart rate, as well as decrease levels of stress hormones [13]. Fast music increases the cortisol levels, while the slow, quiet, calm and classical music does the opposite.  The blood cortisol levels of those with imminent surgery get reduced by 50% with the calming music, jointly chosen by the patient and music therapist.An emotional response of the secretion of immune-boosting hormones is induced by certain music. Music decreases the stress-related hormone cortisol, the increased levels of which weaken the immune system. Hence the chances of illness get reduced [14]. A study suggests playing soothing music to patients before anaesthetising them for surgery could calm their nerves as much as conventional anxiety drugs but with fewer side effects [15]. Listening to meditative music as a non-invasive and cost-effective strategy can help maximize efforts to promote comfort and relaxation for patients awaiting stressful procedures. Meditative music can be effective in alleviating state anxiety of patients [16]

Optimal positioning not only ensures the best possible access to the surgical site, but also prevents long-term consequences such as nerve damage or pressure ulcers. These secondary complications can delay rehabilitation and recovery. Patients have better outcomes when hospitals can avoid these secondary consequences. Surgical teams should always choose a position that maximizes surgical site access while minimizing the risk of complications. In prone positions obese patients feel suffocated. The respiratory distress compounds to surgical side effects [17].

I am very pleased to serve as EBM of the journal, I hope many years of my experience in stem cells can help the journal from one way or another. As we know, stem cells hold great potential for regenerative medicine, which are mostly used to promote the repair response of diseased, dysfunctional or injured tissue using stem cells or their derivatives. I think Stem Cell Research and Therapeutics International is a great platform to publish and share the understanding towards the biology and translational or clinical application of stem cells.
