“…V izvedeni raziskavi ugotovimo raznolikost simptomov SBS pri zaposlenih v bolnišničnem okolju. Po navedbah avtorjev raziskav (Hellgren, et al, 2008;Morghen, et al, 2009;Chang, et al, 2015;Inaba, et al, 2015;Khosravinejad, et al, 2015;Aljeesh, et al, 2016;Keyvani, et al, 2017) zaposleni v bolnišničnem okolju kot najbolj pogoste simptome SBS navajajo glavobol, draženje očesnih veznic, draženje nosne sluznice, težave z dihanjem, kašelj, utrujenost in občutek izsušene kože na rokah. Visok odstotek zdravstvenih delavcev ocenjuje, da so simptomi SBS povezani z njihovim delovnim mestom; visok odstotek jih poroča, da simptomi izzvenijo, ko zapustijo delovno mesto (Aljeesh, et al, 2016).…”

Jafari in sodelavci (2015) ugotavljajo, da je intenzivnost svetlobe znatno povezana s simptomi SBS, kot so pojav suhe in srbeče kože, bolečine v očeh in slabo počutje na vzorcu pisarniških delavcev.…”

Uvod: Okoljski dejavniki imajo pomembno vlogo pri ohranjanju in krepitvi zdravja. Namen raziskave je bil oceniti pogostost simptomov sindroma bolnih stavb (SBS) pri zaposlenih v bolnišnici.Metode: Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna raziskovalna metoda. Pregled strokovne in znanstvene literature je bil izveden v podatkovnih bazah COBIB.SI, Google Učenjak, Digitalna knjižnica Dlib.si, CIHAHL, Cochrane Library in PubMed. Napredno iskanje je potekalo s pomočjo Boolovih logičnih operaterjev AND / IN, v kombinaciji ključnih besed: »sindrom bolnih stavb«, »bolnišnice«, »zdravstveni delavci«, »okoljski dejavniki«, »sick building syndrome«, »hospitals«, »health care workers«, »environmental factors«. Iz iskalnega nabora 238 zadetkov je bilo v končno analizo vključenih 11 člankov. Za prikaz pregleda podatkovnih baz in odločanja o uporabnosti pregledanih virov je bila uporabljena metodologija PRISMA. Izvedena je bila vsebinska integrativna analiza spoznanj raziskav.Rezultati: Ugotovitve raziskave so bile združene v štiri vsebinske kategorije: (1) pogostost simptomov SBS; (2) raznolikost simptomov SBS; (3) okoljski dejavniki v povezavi s pogostostjo simptomov SBS; (4) okoljski dejavniki v povezavi z ostalimi dejavniki za nastanek SBS.Diskusija in zaključek: Raziskave kažejo, da je pogostost simptomov SBS med zaposlenimi v bolnišničnem okolju visoka. Okoljski dejavniki so povezani z nastankom simptomov SBS med zaposlenimi v bolnišničnem okolju. V Sloveniji potrebujemo raziskavo, ki bi proučila učinek okoljskih dejavnikov na pogostost simptomov SBS pri zaposlenih v bolnišničnem okolju.

“…The high prevalence of SBS symptoms was associated with the exposure to several health risk factors and their parameters. The most severe SBS symptoms were associated with the group of physical health risk factors, such as building dampness and the resulting moisture damage, lack of daylight, exposure to increased noise levels and decreased ventilation, and chemical health risk factors, especially related to poor indoor air quality (carbon dioxide—CO 2 , unpleasant odour, volatile organic compounds—VOC), as well as psychosocial factors (workload, decreased quality of working life) [16,22,23,24,25,26,27].…”

Increased exposure times to various health risk factors and the vulnerability of building users might result in significantly higher prevalence rates of sick building syndrome (SBS) in a hospital setting compared to other indoor environments. The purpose of our study was to assess the association between SBS symptoms and measured environmental parameters at a Slovenian general hospital. A combination of a self-assessment study and field measurements was conducted in order to estimate the health risk factors for SBS symptoms among the users of a Slovenian general hospital. The Chi-square test was used to analyse the association between observed health and environmental parameters. The response rate was 67.5%. A total of 12.0% of healthcare workers at hospital wards reported at least six SBS symptoms, 19.0% reported 2–3 SBS symptoms. At the observed hospital wards, the most deviations were recorded for the level of lighting (83.3%), noise level (73.6%), and room temperature (55.3%). A statistically significant association was found between indoor environmental quality and skin-related SBS symptoms (χ2 = 0.009; p = 0.006). This information will be of great value in defining an integral strategy of environmental health activities aimed at healthier indoor environmental quality in hospitals.

“…Moreover, much higher prevalence of SBS was demonstrated in hospital environment than in other public buildings. The indicated prevalence of SBS was from 63–86% in hospital environment and from 20–50% in other public buildings [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. SBS is a health outcome caused by exposure to numerous health risk factors and their interactions.…”

Design approaches towards energy efficient hospitals often result in a deteriorated indoor environmental quality, adverse health and comfort outcomes, and is a public health concern. This research presents an advanced approach to the design of a hospital environment based on a stimulative paradigm of healing to achieve not only healthy but also comforting conditions. A hospital room for severely burn patient was considered as one of the most demanding spaces. The healing environment was designed as a multi-levelled, dynamic process including the characteristics of users, building and systems. The developed integral user-centred cyber-physical system (UCCPS) was tested in a test room and compared to the conventional system. The thermodynamic responses of burn patients, health care worker and visitor were simulated by using modified human body exergy models. In a healing environment, UCCPS enables optimal thermal balance, individually regulated according to the user specifics. For burn patient it creates optimal healing-oriented conditions with the lowest possible human body exergy consumption (hbExC), lower metabolic thermal exergy, lower sweat exhalation, evaporation, lower radiation and convection. For healthcare workers and visitors, thermally comfortable conditions are attained with minimal hbExC and neutral thermal load on their bodies. The information on this is an aid in integral hospital design, especially for future extensive renovations and environmental health actions.
