Abstract AR
هدفت هذه الدراسة الى التعرف على تأثير شدة الإضاءة على كل من ضغط الدم (الانقباضي والانبساطي)، نبض القلب، نسبة الأكسجين في الدم و درجة الحرارة.
حيث شملت عينة الدراسة 237 طفل تتراوح اعمارهم (5-6) سنوات في مدينة جنين.
و قد تمت القياسات على العوامل المذكورة قبل و بعد التعرض للإضاءة لمدة أربع ساعات متواصلة.
و تم دراسة ذلك تحت مستويات مختلفة من شدة الإضاءة حيث كانت المستويات بقيمة lux (0-60)، (400-600)، (1320-1500).
و قد خلصت الدراسة إلى أن هناك تأثير لمستوى شدة الإضاءة على ضغط الدم (الأنقباضى والأنبساطى)، دقات القلب، نسبة الأكسجين في الدم و درجة الحرارة حيث وجد أن معامل بيرسون Rاكبر من 0.659.
Abstract EN
The study population consisted of 237 children aged 5-6 years in Jenin city.
The arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), heart pulse rate, oxygen saturation in blood and tympanic temperature were measured before and after exposure to light intensity levels for four hours continuously.
The light intensity levels were (0 - 60), (400 - 600) and (1320 - 1500) lux.
The background light was (400 - 600) lux for all selected schools, which is considered to be normal or accepted light intensity level.
Strong positive correlation (Pearson Correlation Coefficient) was found to be R > 0.659 between light intensity levels and all of the arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), heart pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation and tympanic temperature in the selected school.
In addition, P-value between the dependent and independent variables was found to be zero.
Finally, the study concludes that there is an effect of the light intensity levels on arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), heart pulse rate, oxygen saturation in blood and tympanic temperature of schools’ children.
