A predominant notion among researchers is that hospital room design and decor are subject to the designer's expression of self, which is contrary to evidence-based studies showing that design and decor can impact patient health. The aim of this study was to examine whether improvement in quality of healthcare provided in hospitals could be achieved through the convergence of expertise of healthcare professionals and hospital room designers.
This was a prospective study to identify the impact of hospital interior design features with a focus on single occupancy rooms. Volunteers were recruited through advertisements and the study was conducted at the Tripoli Medical Center. Responses were analyzed using a three-dimensional computer-aided design software to help respondents accurately map their preferences and visualize outcomes.
Participants preferred an aesthetically pleasing hospital room environment that included art and bright colors, window views, and the need for personalization, technology, mobility, and flexibility, all of which improved satisfaction and happiness. Of these, participants' preference for technology as a cause for satisfaction and happiness was a novel finding.
Designers of hospital room interiors should plan and create an appealing single occupancy room for increasing user satisfaction and patient wellness.
研究人员的一个主要观点是，医院病房的设计和装饰取决于设计者的自我表达，这与基于证据的研究相反，后者表明设计和装饰会影响患者的健康。本研究旨在探讨通过医疗专业人员和医院病房设计师的专业知识融合，是否可以提高医院提供的医疗质量。
这是一项前瞻性研究，旨在确定医院室内设计特征的影响，重点是单人病房。通过广告招募志愿者，并在的黎波里医疗中心进行研究。使用三维计算机辅助设计软件分析回复，以帮助受访者准确地映射他们的偏好并可视化结果。
参与者更喜欢美观的医院病房环境，其中包括艺术和鲜艳的色彩、窗户景观以及个性化、技术、移动性和灵活性的需求，所有这些都提高了满意度和幸福感。其中，参与者将技术作为满意度和幸福感的原因之一，这是一个新的发现。
医院病房内部设计师应为提高用户满意度和患者健康而规划和创建吸引人的单人病房。
