: This discussion paper aims to contribute to a greater understanding of the state of the art of research engaged with conceptual matters of space and place for health and care. : The authors, who represent a variety of academic disciplines, discuss and demonstrate the conceptual recognition of space and place in research in health and caring sciences building upon own work and experience. : To explore the concepts of space and place for health and care is a research pursuit of utmost importance, and should be made through transdisciplinary research collaborations, whereby spatial theories from various disciplines could be communicated to cultivate truly novel and well-informed research. Furthermore, engaging with relational and topological perceptions of space and place poses methodological challenges to overcome in future research on health and care. : We argue that there is a need for accelerating spatially informed research on health and care that is informed by current theories and perspectives on space and place, and transdisciplinary research collaborations are a means to achieving this.
这篇讨论稿旨在增进对健康和关怀科学领域中与空间和场所概念相关研究的理解。本文作者来自不同的学术领域，通过自身的工作和经验，讨论并展示了在健康和关怀科学研究中对空间和场所的概念认识。探索健康和关怀的空间和场所概念是一项至关重要的研究工作，应该通过跨学科研究合作来实现，以便将不同学科的空间理论进行交流，从而培养真正新颖和有见地的研究。此外，在未来的健康和关怀研究中，涉及空间和场所的关系和拓扑感知还存在需要克服的方法学挑战。我们认为，需要加速健康和关怀方面的空间信息研究，这需要借鉴当前关于空间和场所的理论和观点，而跨学科研究合作是实现这一目标的手段。
