Sleep is crucial to the well-being of humans, especially so for the recovery of those undergoing treatment or recuperating in hospitals. The authors cite studies that allude to the relevance quality of sleep has on health, neurodevelopment, generally, and to immune functioning and healing in patients.

Interior finishes and construction account for a large portion (32%) of the initial construction cost of healthcare facilities. While there is research to show that design and construction materials can have a considerable impact on the health of both the environments and the patients and staff in the environment, this has not been investigated in great detail, especially from the perspective of patient health.

People’s psychological responses to the feeling or sense of being crowded (known as crowding) has been widely examined in the literature on health, disease, and housing regulation and can be associated with negative outcomes. For vulnerable groups where crowding has been studied (such as in low-income housing, prisons, daycare centers, schools, and refugee camps), these negative outcomes include...

In the United Kingdom, one of the most intensively used ancillary rooms in an acute ward is the soiled workroom (dirty utility room) which “provides for storage of single use containers used for collection of human waste, its subsequent disposal and other associated activities, and the temporary holding of used equipment, materials and refuse prior to transfer to the disposal point to await collection.” A hospital planning team requested a review of a proposed standardized soiled workroom to establish whether a proposed design would provide an optimal layout for efficient and safe clinical activities.

Nursing is a stressful job, and the impacts of stress on performance are well documented. Nursing stress, however, has been typically addressed through operational interventions, even though the ability of the physical environment to modulate stress in humans is well known. This study explores the outcomes of exposure to exterior views from nurse work areas.

Mock-Ups as “Interactive Laboratories”: Mixed Methods Research Using Inpatient Unit Room Mock-Ups

Simulations allow designers and researchers an opportunity to evaluate how users may interact with a proposed environment prior to the construction of a design. While mock-ups have been used in healthcare environments to assess the efficacy of design solutions, to help clients experience proposed design decisions, and to make changes prior to the building phase and evaluate products and technology, minimal literature exists detailing multiple or mixed methods that can be used to evaluate the results associated with the use of mock-ups from a participatory, qualitative, and quantitative perspective.

Private patient rooms have become the industry standard since the American Institute of Architects (AIA) recommended including private patient rooms in the design of all new acute care hospital construction projects. This recommendation was made due to research suggesting that private patient rooms help reduce infection, increase caregiver efficiency, provide greater privacy, and offer greater opportunity for families to participate in the healing process of their loved ones. Private patient rooms also have been linked to reductions in medication errors, noise levels, and potential for falls. However, evidence has yet to document if private patient rooms are advantageous to all patient populations, nor has it established the actual relationship between room type and health outcomes.
