Young children's perspectives of ideal physical design features for hospital-built environments

Journal of Child Health Care
Journal Article

Pages 57-71
Author(s): Lambert, V., Coad, J., Hicks, P., Glacken, M.
Current research has sought to understand pediatric hospital environments through studies designed to gain insight into the hospital experience from a child’s perspective. While this research has provided insight into a child’s emotional response to being in a hospital environment, little has been done to gain insight into the physical design from a child’s perspective.

The Effects of Presence and Influence in Nature Images in a Simulated Hospital Patient Room

HERD: Health Environments Research & Design Journal
Journal Article
Issue 3
Volume 3
Pages 56-69
Author(s): Vincent, E., Battisto, D., Grimes, L.
While some research has looked at the impact of variables such as nature murals, nature sounds, nature videos, and nature views on such outcomes as pain intensity and tolerance, pain quality, need for medication, and anxiety, this topic has not been widely studied in the research literature. As hospitals purchase art for display, to create a restorative environment, and encourage wellness, more direction is needed to inform decisions between different types of art and nature images that may or may not truly benefit patients.

Author(s): Vincent, E., Battisto, D., Grimes, L., McCubbin, J.
While a number of research studies have found a link between views to nature in healthcare settings and reduction in stress and anxiety, fewer studies have looked at the impact on pain levels of views to nature. While pain and stress are related, there is interest in better defining the relationship between access to nature and pain itself. Additionally, the researchers believe that there is a need to better understand these relationships through the lens of theory, in particular evolutionary theory, which posits that people are predisposed to select and prefer certain types of environments that ensure survival.
