This paper summarizes the opinions of experts who participated in designing the environment of a children's hospital and reports the results of a questionnaire survey conducted among hospital users. The grounded theory method was adopted to analyze 292 concepts, 79 open codes, 25 axial codes, and 4 selective codes; in addition, confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis were performed to identify elements for designing a healing environment in a children's hospital, and 21 elements from 4 dimensions, namely, emotions, space design, interpersonal interaction, and pleasant surroundings, were determined. Subsequently, this study examined the perceptions of 401 children at National Taiwan University Children's Hospital. The results revealed that, regarding the children's responses to the four dimensions and their overall perception, younger children accepted the healing environment to a significantly higher degree than did older children. The sex effect was significant for the space design dimension, and it was not significant for the other dimensions.
本文总结了参与儿童医院环境设计的专家意见，并报告了对医院使用者进行的问卷调查结果。采用扎根理论方法分析了292个概念、79个开放编码、25个主轴编码和4个选择编码；此外，进行了验证性因素分析和可靠性分析，以确定儿童医院康复环境设计的要素，并从情感、空间设计、人际互动和宜人环境4个维度确定了21个要素。随后，本研究调查了国立台湾大学儿童医院401名儿童的看法。结果显示，就儿童对这四个维度的反应及其总体认知而言，年幼儿童对康复环境的接受程度明显高于年长儿童。空间设计维度的性别效应显著，其他维度则不显著。
