The results also indicated that the optimal thermal sensation for the nurses - suiting their thermal comfort requirements and work performance - would be closer to ‘slightly cool’ than neutral. This led to a slightly unacceptable thermal comfort and a slightly obstructed self-appraised work performance. Analysis of the subjective feedback from nurses and the measured indoor thermal conditions revealed that the existent thermal conditions (varying between 20 and 25 ☌) caused a slightly warm thermal sensation on the ASHRAE seven point scale. Responses were collected during three weeks in the summer (n = 89), and four weeks in the autumn (n = 43). ![]() To address this gap, a mixed methods study, with the nursing staff in hospital wards acting as participants, was undertaken. ![]() In indoor comfort research, thermal comfort of care-professionals in hospital environment is a little explored topic.
