Research on Lighting Environment Design Strategies in Obstetric Spaces Based on the Whole Process of Natural Childbirth: A Case Study of Labour, Delivery, and Recovery Rooms in Xiamen Lotus Hospital

This study is based on the analysis of the behaviour and emotional characteristics of parturient women during the natural delivery stage. It also combines on-site lighting environment investigations and questionnaire interviews with postpartum women in the maternity ward of Xiamen Lotus Hospital. Based on the results, it proposes indoor lighting environment renovation design plans, as well as parameter suggestions for different scenarios (pre-delivery mode, delivery mode, delivery completion mode, postpartum mode). Finally, it summarizes the lighting design strategies for LDR delivery rooms based on the entire process of natural childbirth for parturient women. These strategies include pre-delivery lighting to meet visual comfort, emotional lighting to promote delivery, and soothinglighting environment for postpartum recovery, also aiming to provide references for lighting design in other obstetric spaces.
