Play is critical to children's development in social, cognitive, and affective domains. Children actively construct meaning through playful interaction with people and objects. Play materials and environments in turn, affect the level, structure and content of children's play. The following article discusses these issues and the application of contemporary architectural design and current research findings on play environments to the special problems of hospitalized children. Concerns related to separation from family and routine, unfamiliar hospital personnel and procedure, institutionalization, and temporary immobility can be constructively dealt with by thoughtful planning for children's play. Specific suggestions with respect to designing play spaces in hospitals are offered based on current theory and research.
玩耍对儿童在社交、认知和情感领域的发展至关重要。儿童通过与人和物体的趣味性互动积极构建意义。反过来，游戏材料和环境会影响儿童玩耍的水平、结构和内容。以下文章讨论了这些问题，以及当代建筑设计和关于玩耍环境的当前研究结果在住院儿童特殊问题上的应用。与与家人和日常活动分离、不熟悉的医院工作人员和程序、制度化以及暂时行动不便相关的问题，可以通过对儿童玩耍进行周到规划来建设性地加以解决。基于当前的理论和研究，针对医院中游戏空间的设计提出了具体建议。
