The impact of health facilities on patients has been extensively researched. Yet, while there is a growing recognition of the need for healthy working environments, little is known about how health facilities affect the staff working in them. This paper explores how the design of health facilities impacts on the well-being and performance of healthcare workers. The article is based on a review of published literature, identified through PubMed and Google, as well as through searches of websites of relevant organizations. Many traditionally designed health facilities seem to impact negatively on the well-being of healthcare workers, as well as on staff recruitment, retention and performance. Better-designed health facilities can improve working conditions and staff safety, and enable staff to do their job more efficiently. The needs of healthcare workers should be taken into account at the initial design stage of health facilities, ideally though direct involvement or meaningful consultation.
卫生设施对患者的影响已得到广泛研究。然而，尽管人们越来越认识到健康工作环境的必要性，但对于卫生设施如何影响其中工作的员工却知之甚少。本文探讨卫生设施的设计如何影响医护人员的幸福感和工作表现。本文基于对通过PubMed和谷歌检索到的已发表文献以及相关组织网站搜索结果的综述。许多传统设计的卫生设施似乎对医护人员的幸福感以及员工招聘、留用和表现产生负面影响。设计更合理的卫生设施可以改善工作条件和员工安全，并使员工能够更高效地开展工作。在卫生设施的初始设计阶段就应考虑医护人员的需求，理想情况下应通过直接参与或有意义的咨询来实现。
