People’s psychological responses to the feeling or sense of being crowded (known as crowding) has been widely examined in the literature on health, disease, and housing regulation and can be associated with negative outcomes. For vulnerable groups where crowding has been studied (such as in low-income housing, prisons, daycare centers, schools, and refugee camps), these negative outcomes include...

Private patient rooms have become the industry standard since the American Institute of Architects (AIA) recommended including private patient rooms in the design of all new acute care hospital construction projects. This recommendation was made due to research suggesting that private patient rooms help reduce infection, increase caregiver efficiency, provide greater privacy, and offer greater opportunity for families to participate in the healing process of their loved ones. Private patient rooms also have been linked to reductions in medication errors, noise levels, and potential for falls. However, evidence has yet to document if private patient rooms are advantageous to all patient populations, nor has it established the actual relationship between room type and health outcomes.

Quantifying the Relationship Among Hospital Design, Satisfaction, and Psychosocial Functioning in a Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Inpatient Unit

Prior research has shown that healthcare satisfaction and physical and psychological outcomes in adults are affected by the built environment. Research has also suggested that perceived built environment satisfaction acts as a mediator between the objective built environment and healthcare satisfaction and health-related quality of life in adults. However, minimal research has been conducted to understand these concepts within the pediatric population.

“Evidence-based” implies the use of “scientific” evidence, often obtained through academic research such as RCTs, risk-benefit analysis, and meta-analyses of series of studies, particularly in the area of medicine. EBD, similar to EBM, is to use best-available evidence to inform design decisions.

Many studies support the philosophy that breast-feeding is the best nutritional option for babies. There is a strong movement to go back to breast-feeding newborn children for their first six months of life because it has been shown that breast-feeding helps reduce the rate of illness for both mother and child. One study done by Simkin showed that infants fed breast milk exclusively for their first three months of life were nine times less likely to be hospitalized for infection.
