Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of an intervention using the Sensory Room, which focuses on sensory processing characteristics, in adults with psychiatric disorders, and to show the changes in autonomic indices, EEG, subjective mood state, cognitive function, and social life function. In addition, changes in mental symptoms and sensory processing characteristics will also be examined.

Interventions/Control_1

[Intervention using the Sensory Room]
5.0 m2 x 2.0 m Sensory Room was created in the Human Health Science, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, or in the Department of Day Care, Kyoto University Hospital, and the research subject and a licensed occupational therapist enter the room one by one. Inside the room, a bubble tube, a music player with healing music, a weighted blanket, a beaded cushion, an aroma diffuser, aroma oil, and a tactile ball are placed. At the beginning, the research administrator proposes sensory stimuli based on the A/ASP scores of the participants according to their individual sensory processing characteristics, and gradually encourages the participants to select and adjust the sensory stimuli on their own. The duration of each intervention is set to 30 minutes, with a washout period of at least one week before participants receive the other intervention.

Interventions/Control_2

[Intervention using static activities]
Participants will be asked to perform low intensity activities such as knitting, origami, puzzles, reading, etc. in a seated position for less than about 3 METs. The location will be a private room of the same size as the sensory room, or a quiet place separated by partitions, etc., with lighting. The research subject and the research administrator, who is a licensed occupational therapist, enter the room one by one, and the research subject freely chooses the work activity. The duration of each intervention is set to 30 minutes, with a washout period of at least one week before participants receive the other intervention.
