Abstract

Staff-centered design, especially nurse-centered design, has not received much attention in healthcare research, although the literature has acknowledged the value and restorative effects of well-designed nurse resting areas. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of interior design on nurses’ satisfaction, specifically in their resting areas. As the methodology of the research, the data were obtained through surveys, interviews, and observations. According to the result of the data, investigating nurses’ physical as well as psychological needs in their resting areas in terms of color, material, lighting, art objects, and relations with nature gives significant results to be considered by designers as well as healthcare authorities. The findings indicate that satisfaction and effectiveness can be increased by providing a desirable interior design infrastructure that satisfies nurses in their resting areas. This study has originality as it relies on the determination of the satisfaction level of nurses with several interior design parameters in their resting areas. The acquired insights are valuable for nursing and stakeholders in the healthcare sector. Designers and hospital management need to be aware of the appropriate interior design qualities of nurse resting areas, especially regarding color, materials, lighting, and the inclusion of artwork.

Hastanelerdeki Kullanıcı Memnuniyeti Bağlamında Hemşire Dinlenme Mekanlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Sağlık çalışanlarını merkeze alan tasarım anlayışı, özellikle hemşire merkezli tasarım, literatürde iyi tasarlanmış hemşire dinlenme alanlarının değeri ve onarıcı etkileri kabul edilmesine rağmen sağlık araştırmalarında fazla ilgi görmemiştir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma iç mekan tasarımının hemşirelerin memnuniyeti üzerindeki etkilerini, özellikle dinlenme alanlarında, araştırmaktadır. Araştırmanın metodolojisi olarak veriler; anketler, görüşmeler ve gözlemler yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Verilerin sonucuna göre, hemşirelerin dinlenme alanlarındaki fiziksel ve psikolojik ihtiyaçlarının renk, malzeme, aydınlatma, sanat objeleri ve doğayla ilişkiler açısından incelenmesi, tasarımcılar ve sağlık otoriteleri tarafından dikkate alınması gereken önemli sonuçlar vermektedir. Bulgular, hemşirelerin dinlenme alanlarında onları tatmin edecek beğenilen bir iç mekan tasarım altyapısı sağlanarak memnuniyet ve etkinliğin artırılabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, hemşirelerin dinlenme alanlarındaki çeşitli iç mekan tasarım parametrelerinden memnuniyet düzeylerinin belirlenmesine dayandığı için özgündür. Elde edilen bilgiler hemşirelik ve sağlık sektöründeki paydaşlar için değerlidir. Hemşire dinlenme alanlarının iç mekan tasarımlarının, özellikle renk, malzeme, aydınlatma ve sanat eserlerinin dahil edilmesi gibi uygun niteliklerinin tasarımcılar ve hastane yöneticileri tarafından bilinmesi gerekmektedir.
