Sensory Room at an Acute Psychiatric Unit

the room has dimmed lighting, sensing games, essential oils, picture books and cookbooks, two heavy blankets (weighing 9 kg and 11 kg), a rocking chair, and a vestibular plate. The occupational therapist will accompany the first entry into the room to create a sensory profile, adjust and instruct on the means, and write a treatment card. The treatment card will record the patient's choices and instructions for arranging the room, and it will be used by the staff members who will admit the patient as needed. Each patient will be able to stay in the room for self-treatment according to the individual treatment card prepared at the first sensory room treatment, up to half an hour.
