The provision of supportive environments is essential in clinical and environmental psychology. Mental health disorders are a major issue, and the experience of being at a mental health facility is affected by numerous factors related to the building's design.
The aim of this study is to explore the expectations of a mental health facility planning group regarding the potential impact of a supportive design on patients' mental health and staff's therapeutic practices when planning and designing a new mental health facility.
The new mental health facility is a case study and data were collected through qualitative in-depth interviews with nine participants and analyzed using a thematic analysis. The participants came from a mental health facility planning group in a new mental health facility in Norway.
The overall expectation of the new building was related to a future orientation to support patients' mental health and therapeutic practices. Three main themes were identified: toward a future orientation, supportive building design, and work environment.
Supportive environments are expected to influence patients' mental health and staff's therapeutic practices, including providing options for novel treatment needs in contrast to older and more outdated buildings that are perceived as hindering appropriate treatment conditions.
在临床和环境心理学中，提供支持性环境至关重要。心理健康障碍是一个主要问题，而在心理健康机构的体验受到与建筑物设计相关的众多因素的影响。
本研究旨在探讨心理健康机构规划小组对支持性设计对患者心理健康和工作人员治疗实践的潜在影响的期望，以便在规划和设计新的心理健康机构时。
新的心理健康机构是一个案例研究，通过对挪威新的心理健康机构规划小组的九名参与者进行定性深入访谈收集数据，并使用主题分析进行分析。
对新建筑的总体期望与支持患者心理健康和治疗实践的未来定位有关。确定了三个主要主题：未来定位、支持性建筑设计和工作环境。
人们期望支持性环境会影响患者的心理健康和工作人员的治疗实践，包括为新的治疗需求提供选择，而不是为那些被认为阻碍适当治疗条件的旧的和过时的建筑提供选择。
