Calm room: The calm room combines the effects of music, light, and videos designed with natural atmospheres. Four themes are offered in the calm room: Comfort, Optimism, Freshness, and Lullaby. These themes feature nature videos, combining relaxing images with calm musical ambiance. The lighting can be adjusted by the user, who can choose from a varied color palette. The available lights have a low glare level, and the light intensity can also be adjusted by the user.
They can be used by patients any time they want and for as long as they want.
Study summary
This descriptive study aims primarily to characterize the sensory profile of patients in a closed psychiatric hospital unit who use a calming room.
The main questions it aims to answer are :
* Could sensory information processing disorders be the cause of distress and tension in these patients?
* Could users of the calming room present extreme sensory processing profiles, characterized by either hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity ?
Participants will answer a survey to determine their the sensory profile. Participants can already use the calming room as part of their regular medical care and they will answer surveys before and after each use.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Scores of Sensory Sensitivity from the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (Brown and Dunn, 2002) for users of the calming room and non-users of the calming room — At enrollment The sensory profile scores will be obtained through the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile (AASP) scale during an individual interview following the participant inclusion. The following Sensory Sensitivity sub-score will be collected. The minimum and maximum values are from 15 to 75. A high score indicate a high sensory sensitivity.
