Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The primary objective is to examine the acute effect of color, room orientation (affecting amount of luminosity) on perceived health status and stress levels in oncologic patients during chemotherapy sessions at outpatient clinic. The secondary objectives will be to study the effect on vital signs (body temperature, heart rate, systolic blood pressure). Patients will be allocated into four conditions (Group A: Cold North, Group B: Cold South C: Warm North D: Warm South) for each session. For the next session, patients will be assigned a new condition. Assignment of sequences will be randomized for each patient. 20 patients will be randomly assigned to one of the four groups, after having signed the Free and Informed Consent Form and agreed to participate in the project, will respond to the evaluation form and will be submitted to physical examination. Patients will be treated per standard of care.
