Patients in the ICU often experience sleep disruptions. Although the potential reasons for this disturbed sleep are attributed to patient care activities, noise, effects of medications, the illness itself, and other equipment-related issues, noise has always been considered to be the main factor in the ICU that disrupts sleep.

Physical environmental stimuli that turn healthcare facilities into healing environments through psychologically mediated effects: systematic review

2006
Journal of Advanced Nursing
Journal Article
Issue 2
Volume 56
Pages 166-181
Author(s): Dijkstra, K., Pieterse, M., Pruyn, A.
Design features of healthcare spaces can be said to impact the health and well-being of patients either directly or indirectly. A direct influence of a design feature means that the impact is not mediated in any way and therefore has a direct effect on patients (e.g., germs sitting in a carpet surface). An indirect influence is one in which the environmental stimuli act through a psychological process of sensory perceptions (e.g., carpet may be perceived as a home environment and may decrease the patient’s stress). This paper is focused on finding research data that had an indirect influence.
