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.

Bacteria exist in large numbers in moist, organic environments and are also found in the air, in water, and on surfaces, particularly in healthcare environments. Patients who are considered high risk are more susceptible to infection by some of these bacteria given the nature of their illness and the treatment they undergo.
