At present, the creation of a sense-sensitive environment in long-term care is a difficult task as there is minimal evidence or tools available to guide this process. The 5Senses screening tool was developed to measure the sense-sensitivity of a particular environment, with a focus on long-term care. The purpose of this paper is to describe a study protocol to assess the psychometric properties of the newly developed 5Senses screening tool.enlong-term carepsychometric testingscreening toolsensesAgedAgingGeriatric AssessmentHumansLong-Term CareMass ScreeningPsychometricsSensation DisordersValidation Studies as TopicArticle10.1136/bmjopen-2018-027720
