“…The sample of the study by Wood et al [50] comprised eight acute ward staff members (five female, three male), 16 forensic ward members (11 female, five male), senior staff member (one male), and 12 volunteers of a habitation exercise (eight female, four male). Two studies did not provide demographic and/or diagnostic characteristics of their study populations [45,49]. The study that investigated other relevant stakeholders not associated with daily psychiatric care, such as architects/designers or hospital managers, reported no descriptive characteristics of these participants [48].…”

The environment in healthcare facilities can influence health and recovery of service users and furthermore contribute to healthy workplaces for staff. The concept of therapeutic landscapes seems to be a promising approach in this context. The aim of this qualitative meta-analysis is to review the effects of therapeutic landscapes for different stakeholders in psychiatric care facilities. A systematic literature search was conducted in the four data bases PubMed, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Thirteen predominately qualitative studies were included in this qualitative meta-analysis. The methodological quality of these qualitative studies was assessed, using an adapted version of the Journal Article Reporting Standards for Qualitative Research, and a thematic analysis was conducted. The results were categorised into the three main themes of the physical (built and natural), social, and symbolic dimensions of the therapeutic landscape. Given the heterogeneity of the summarised data and an overall methodological quality of the included studies that can be rated as medium, the results should be interpreted with caution. Current findings are based almost exclusively on qualitative studies. Therefore, there is a need for quantitative study designs that investigate the relationship between specific environmental elements and mental health outcomes for different stakeholders in psychiatric facilities.

“…Recent work shows how architectural choices -transparent glass walls -in a psychiatric ward reorders care work around the new visibilities. As patients can suddenly see into employee's back office, patients and employees become visible to each other in new constellations, and care work is reordered (Simonsen & Duff 2020, 2021. This work shows how the physical design of workplaces restructures care worker's tasks and social organization.…”

“…Such studies often theorize workplace physical design as systems of ordering. Simonsen's work show how physical design mediates healthcare work via spatial orderings inherent in the design (Simonsen & Duff 2020, 2021Wilhelm & Battisto 2020). These studies show how materiality can matter for workers' identities, organization, and tasks.…”

Influence at work is known to be an important factor for workers health. Researchers have called for studies on influence at work as a contextualized phenomenon. Based on individual interviews with managers and focus group interviews with employees in three care workplaces, the article shows how the materiality of the work setting ties employees’ influence to perform tasks in both hindering and enabling ways. We show that a work environment where employees’ influence is hindered produces negative experiences in the work environment, while an environment where employees’ influence is enabled produces positive experiences. Additionally, we study how employees influence the material aspects of their workplace.We present a view of influence at work as constituted by materiality and social organization in sociomaterial assemblages. This study reintroduces materiality as a concern in psychosocial work environment research and contributes a sociomaterial view on influence at work and materiality.

Geography, Indoor Mobility and Activity Space: Informing Inclusive Healthcare Design

Design for Sustainable Inclusion

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The design of the built environment of a healthcare setting impacts all users. As a result, it is becoming common practice to design and create healthcare environments that are inclusive of the needs of patients, staff and visitors. Translating how people interact with the environment into design requires a theoretical, methodological level of understanding the dynamics within the built environment. There are a number of social science concepts, methods and frameworks that demonstrate how individuals interact with environments. The aim of this chapter is to establish human geography, with a focus on indoor mobility and the concept of activity space, as a theoretical concept to explore the spatial and temporal movements of users of indoor healthcare environments. This new knowledge of spatial behavior can provide valuable insights into how indoor healthcare facilities work in practice and inform future design solutions based on users' needs.
