It seems safe to conclude that nearly 150 years ago, "the lady with the lamp," Florence Nightingale, set a course that practice-based healthcare researchers continue to follow today. In her book, Notes on Nursing (1860), Nightingale identified light, ventilation, noise, and sanitation as elements of the environment that affected the well-being of soldiers in her care. Today, we attempt to study these same relationships: those that exist between the built environment of healthcare settings, and the health and well-being of the users of these spaces. The goal of this paper is to describe how research is conceptualized, integrated, and utilized in healthcare design decision making and to address the challenges and opportunities that exist when moving a research agenda forward. Numerous examples of design practitioners and healthcare facilities that have committed themselves to integrating research into healthcare design are provided.
将近 150 年前，“提灯女士”弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔（Florence Nightingale）开创了先河，此后基于实践的医疗保健研究人员一直在追随她的脚步。在她的著作《护理札记》（Notes on Nursing，1860 年）中，南丁格尔将光线、通风、噪音和卫生确定为影响她所护理的士兵健康福祉的环境要素。如今，我们试图研究这些相同的关系：即医疗保健环境的建筑环境与这些空间使用者的健康和福祉之间的关系。本文的目的是描述研究在医疗保健设计决策中的概念化、整合和利用方式，并探讨在推进研究议程时存在的挑战和机遇。文中提供了许多致力于将研究纳入医疗保健设计的设计从业者和医疗机构的例子。
