Full textThis study was conducted to increase our understanding of children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and to identify the salient attributes of the physical environment in their experience. There were three specific aims: to describe children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and identify what constitutes a supportive paediatric environment; to examine the role of the physical environment in patients’ feeling of well-being; and to highlight the capacity of participatory research with children and young people to inform evidence-based paediatric design. At this stage, there has been very little healthcare design research carried out with populations of children and young people. Well-being research with children and young people in paediatric environments that identifies the potential supportive attributes in this environment is also very limited. Historically research on children’s health and well-being has been dominated by a focus on the prevalence of disorders, problems and disabilities. More recently, in response to the change to health promotion, positive attributes have been included in well-being and satisfaction measures. At this stage, there are still many fewer positive measures. Within the body of literature that exists in healthcare, healthcare design research, and well-being research, there are only a small number of participatory studies that focus on children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation, and an even smaller number that include children and young people’s experience of hospital environments. The picture that is created by the research that exists is patchy. There is a need for a more holistic understanding of children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation and of hospital environments from their own perspectives. Based on these gaps in current knowledge, two research questions were developed. The first was concerned with describing children and young people’s experience of the sociophysical environment of a paediatric hospital. The second question was concerned with understanding the role of the physical environment in children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a hospital environment. In addressing these questions, the intention was to identify attributes within the hospital setting which collectively comprise a supportive environment for children and young people and which contribute to children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a paediatric setting. The current study was conducted as an exploratory qualitative case study and carried out at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, in Sydney, Australia. Using participatory research techniques, the sequence of the study included two pilot studies and the main study. The focus was on understanding the experiences of longer-term patients of a paediatric hospital environment. In the main study 25 children and young people, aged between 9-18 years, who had been in hospital for at least a week completed semi-structured interviews in which they talked about their response to the environment of the hospital and their experience of hospitalisation. Data analysis was completed using a combination of concept mapping and thematic analysis techniques. Preliminary findings were used as the basis of a further member-checking task carried out with a further six children and young people before conclusions were reached. The findings reveal that children and young people’s experience of a paediatric setting involves a number of major areas of influence including their personal situation, their social experience, their interaction with the physical environment, opportunities and characteristics of the organisation, and the effect of time. The findings also reveal that children’s feeling of well-being within this experience is linked to their ability to feel comfortable in the environment, to maintain a positive state of mind, and to remain positively engaged with the experience and the environment. This research reveals a dynamic relationship between children and young people and a paediatric environment that children and young people actively manage and shape. It reveals some of the key considerations in children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation. It also reveals why these considerations are important and what role they play in patients’ experience and feeling of well-being. These findings provide the basis for further research and they have implications for future design and research practice in paediatric healthcare settings.

Full textThe aim of this research was to identify the design aspects necessary to create an aesthetically appealing playroom environment to aid the well-being of hospitalised oncology children at a public hospital in Bloemfontein, South Africa. The methodology design is overall qualitative within the interpretivist paradigm with a triangulation methodology design with explanatory components. These components consisted of a literature review which was further explored by means of a qualitative questionnaire. The playroom was created as part of a community project according to the literature review and questionnaire after which semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with the children themselves.

Full textChildren often find hospitalisation an intimidating experience because hospitals are not always the most child-friendly place. This research report is about understanding the way in which an environment can be created that will aid recovery of children in hospitals, in order to inform the redesign process of the pediatric facility at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital (CHBH). Literature on the history of hospital design, architectural and evidence based design surrounding health-care architecture, and the psychological aspects that contribute towards a healing environment, shows that important design drivers are positive distraction, personal control and social support. These devices are used in precedent studies that successfully deinstitutionalised the hospital in the eyes of a child, in order to produce comfort and less anxiety. An indepth study is conducted of CHBH, with specific emphasis on the pediatric department, compiled from literature and site research. The history and challenges of the largest hospital in Africa are explored in order to arrive at an appropriate design response, which is taken through as a design proposal for a new pediatric facility at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital.

As science combined with practice and art, the disparity between architecture and other design fileds is that how to make the design realize. Besides design thinking, there are many details and complex interfaces about construction that must be considerd. A good architect can not only focus on design thinking but also construction consideraiton. However, in Taiwan, we are insufficient for the training and access to the practice of construciton simulation during school days. We work too hard on design concept developed but pay less attention on how to make the design into real architecture so that some gaps occur between academia and industry. On the other hand, the Architect Licensure Examination is partial towards subject tests but not the integration practice from design to construction. That's why many architects with license can not handle the whole architecture project, and what they can do is to apply for the constrction permit. Without construction consideration, the architecture design can not be completed. The situation makes an impression of Architecture as a weak profession to the general public, and it put architects in a tight spot in Taiwan society lacked of the conception for paying the design fee. Design-build is a method of project delivery in which both desgin and construction work are put together under one contract.Compared with Design-bid-build project, it can reduce the conflict between design and construction and some aspects of risk and gives the architect total control from design through project completion. This study takes the case of Da-an women and children hospital as a research object, to analyze the relationships among architect, client and constructor under these two project modes, for understanding why the architect can lead the way in design-build project. By evaluating the commision of four stages in the architecture project: pre-design phase, design phase, construction phase and completion phase, we can also think about that how the architect can break through the limit. Self experience of participating in the hospital building case shows the observation of the architect as a facilitator in the design-build project, includes: how the architect transforms the client's demand to design, combines design thinking and construciton together, and deals with problems between every related aspects. By the operational sharing of the practical case, the study provides an overview of the implementation of an architecture project to be the reference of the procee of building. It takes time to be a competent architect. The ability to integrate all aspects like structure, machanical engineering, interior design and landscape means a lot for role of an architect in the architecture project. To progress the capacity for handling the construciton is also to promote the design ability. The ability of the architect as a facilitator and the effort to adjust repeatedly from design to construciton will make the completion of architecture perfect and fulfill the confidence and professional impression of the architect.
