Author(s): Guevara, D.
Breast care centers seek to provide interdisciplinary and comprehensive breast care, but the interior designs of these facilities vary widely. Evidence-based design (EBD) seeks to improve healthcare environments by implementing designs correlated with positive health outcomes, while universal design (UD) involves planning for all patient abilities.

During the coronavirus pandemic, studies identified the contaminated environmental surface materials as potential pathways for viral transmission of the disease through contact. To understand the role of surfaces, 16 materials were contaminated with the virus and the stability of the virus on each material was examined.

Time spent interacting with nature can improve well-being, promote healing, and decrease stress. This has shown up across cultures, ranging from ‘forest bathing’ in Japan, where patients are encouraged to spend time in nature to promote healing, to installing ‘healing gardens’ in healthcare environments to benefit healthcare staff.

Previous research has found that indoor lighting can directly impact staff satisfaction and engagement within the workplace. New technologies allow for “double dynamic” lighting installations that can integrate with natural daylight; however, most studies have examined the effects of other dynamic installations through the use of preset lighting settings.

Research demonstrates that older adults are disproportionately vulnerable to contextual stimulus than their younger counterparts. Little research has evaluated, however, the harmful side effects that unsupportive acoustic environments, comprised of indoor- and outdoor-generated sounds, have on the most vulnerable elderly living in residential care settings.
