The Effect of Garden Designs on Mood and Heart Output in Older Adults Residing in an Assisted Living Facility

This research focuses on the impact that different garden designs have on people's mood and heart rate in a retirement community setting. The researchers had previously piloted a study focusing on elderly participants' aesthetic preferences for garden designs; they wanted to move beyond this to better understand where these preferences come from, and whether they are actually somehow hardwired in the brain from more innate psychological and biological responses, rather than cultural or learned.

One of the ways that hospitals strive to provide patient-centered care is by altering the physical facility to incorporate larger visitor and family space within patient rooms. It is believed that this space increases comfort and allows family members to spend more time with and better support their loved one in the hospital, impacting patient care.

As patient demographics shift, developing design strategies that assist with an aging population become increasingly necessary. Within hospital patient rooms and assisted-living patient rooms, furniture offers an opportunity to facilitate patient/occupant independence by decreasing dependency on staff and increasing patient self-sufficiency. Integrating Universal Design Principles (UPDs) into the design of furniture within these environments creates an intuitive, safe, clean environment for occupants that is barrier free, regardless of ability.

Noise in operating rooms (ORs), defined as any unwanted sound impeding on normal hearing, can be grouped into two categories: equipment-related noise and staff-created noise. Equipment-related noise can come from anesthesia equipment and alarms, suction devices, or surgical instruments such as cautery devices, dissection tools, and drills. Staff-created noise can come from opening and closing doors, conversations, overhead pages, and music. All of these noise sources contribute to the average ambient noise in ORs, which is 65 dBA with peak levels reaching120 dBA.
