Evidence Based Design in Healthcare Facilities
Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the gaps and areas needed to improve the effects of the physical environment on the user in terms of evidence-based design strategies. In this context, scientific studies on the design of health buildings between 2012 and 2021 were systematically reviewed and analyzed according to the evidence-based pyramid method with kohen kappa analysis within the scope of evidence-based design criteria. A total of 1641 articles were identified for the scope of the study. Among these a total of 48 scientific studies were analyzed fitted to the criteria of the study. The impacts of physical environment on users are evaluated on two main types of user groups: (1) patients and relatives and (2) healthcare workers. The results reveal that evidence design principles are mostly evaluate in terms of patients and there are gaps in evidence-based design literature for healthcare personnel and more studies should be undertaken by multidisciplinary teams for the development of design strategies.
