Characterization of the lighting system of hospital rooms
Abstract
Artificial lighting in the hospital areas is equally essential for medical staff, patients, and their visitors. Adequate lighting can have beneficial effects on human health by contributing to the patient’s recovery process and also increasing the performance and efficiency of medical staff. In contrast, inappropriate lighting generates harmful effects on health and well-being. Thus, parameters such as luminous intensity, luminance, luminous flux, and illuminance provide information regarding the lighting system. Therefore, determining these parameters is a key factor in establishing and determining possible negative effects as a result of prolonged exposure to artificial light. In this context, a systematic study was carried out to determine the correlated color temperature, light intensity and UV index of artificial light from three hospital areas, including waiting areas, patient ward rooms, intensive care units, and operating rooms, and to evaluate the quality of the lighting system.
