“…Both experimental and control conditions maintained statistically significant improvements at the three-month post-treatment follow-up. Based on these analyses, Snoezelen| appears to be commensurate to, if not better than, traditional strategies of chronic pain management (Schofield et al, 1998b; see also Schofield & Davis, 2000).…”

The effectiveness of Snoezelen| multi-sensory stimulation treatment was evaluated with 50 psychiatric patients (25 men, 25 women) and 50 hospital employees (25 men, 25 women). Pre and post-treatment physiological responses (galvanic skin conductance response, heart rate, and percentage blood oxygen) were compared and participants were evaluated post-treatment for perceived psychological benefits with a nine-item questionnaire. Results indicate that participation in a single 20-minute Snoezelen| session had significant and positive physiological effects on both the patient and staff groups. Also, post-treatment participants in both groups did not perceive any change on the dimension reserved-outgoing but felt more sleepy, passive, relaxed, cheerful, focused, optimistic, calm, and comfortable. Consequently, beneficial physiological and psychological Snoezelen| treatment effects were apparent for both patients and controls.

“…Schofield and her colleagues identified a potential role for Snoezelen| in alleviating chronic pain (Schofield, Davis, & Hutchinson, 1998a, 1998b. In their investigation, 98 chronic pain sufferers were assessed with measures of pain intensity, physical disability, self-efficacy, coping strategies, anxiety, and depression.…”

“…A study evaluated the effect of snoezelen therapy on chronic pain management through the comparison of traditional treatment method with multisensory stimulation to promote relaxation. It showed significant reduction in pain intensity and fatigue during the first month of utilizing this method (P < 0.03) (20). It seems necessary to provide this type of environment during childbirth process, which may reduce emotional stress of the mothers.…”

“…A snoezelen environment can be used as a distraction from pain by focusing on various senses, including visual and auditory. It provides participants with the feelings of comfort, relief, and self-control (20). Snoezelen term is the connection of two Dutch verbs 'snuffelen' (to seek out or explore) and 'doezelen' to relax (20).…”

Snoezelen term is the connection of two Dutch verbs 'snuffelen' (to seek out or explore) and 'doezelen' to relax (20). 'Multi-sensory environment' does not have a Persian translation; therefore, based on available literature we refer to it as 'Cave relaxation room.'…”

Background: One of the strategies for a good outcome and pain free childbearing is to design the delivery room. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of snoezelen room on childbearing outcome such as pain intensity, duration of labor, and perinea status in nulliparous women. Patients and Methods: This study was a randomized controlled clinical trial consists of 100 childbearing women. They were randomly divided into 2 groups. The experimental group went to snoezelen room when their cervix dilation was 4 cm, while the control group went to physiologic delivery room with the same cervix dilation. Results: The mean ± SD of VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) pain intensity of the experimental and control groups before the intervention were 5.1 ± 1.95 and 5.58 ± 1.62, respectively (P = 0.13). The mean ± SD of VAS pain intensity scores of the experimental and control groups after 3 hours spending in their assigned rooms were 5.26 ± 0.86 and 9.56 ± 1.48, respectively (P = 0.01). The mean ± SD of the first stage scores of the experimental and control groups were 6.95 ± 0.97 and 8.41 ± 0.67, respectively (P = 0.042). About 92% of participants' intervention vs. 66% of control participants had perinea laceration (P = 0.041). Conclusions: According to the findings of the present study, distracting senses in snoezelen room decreases mother's pain intensity, the length of labor, and incidence of episiotomy.
