Aim. To identify instruments measuring the quality of the physical healthcare environment, describe their psychometric properties. Background. The physical healthcare environment is regarded as a quality factor for health care. To facilitate evidence-based design there is a need for valid and usable instruments that can evaluate the design of the healthcare environment. Design. Systematic psychometric review. Data sources. A systematic literature search in Medline, CINAHL, Psychinfo, Avery index and reference lists of eligible papers . Review method. Consensus based standards for selection of health measurement instruments guidelines were used to evaluate psychometric data reported. Results. Twenty-three instruments were included. Most of the instruments are intended for healthcare environments related to the care of older people. Many of the instruments were old, lacked strong, contemporary theoretical foundations, varied in the extent to which they had been used in empirical studies and in the degree to which their validity and reliability had been evaluated. Conclusions. Although we found many instruments for measuring the quality of the physical healthcare environment, none met all of our criteria for robustness. Of the instruments, The Multiphasic environmental assessment procedure, The Professional environment assessment protocol and The therapeutic environment screening have been used and tested most frequently. The Perceived hospital quality indicators are user centred and combine aspects of the physical and social environment. The Sheffield care environment assessment matrix has potential as it is comprehensive developed using a theoretical framework that has the needs of older people at the centre. However, further psychometric and user-evaluation of the instrument is required.Keywords: evidence-based design, healthcare facilities, measurement instruments, nursing, older adults, physical healthcare environment, systematic psychometric review 2796

“…First released in 2004, ASPECT is a tool for evaluating the quality of design of staff and patient environments in healthcare buildings. It delivers a profile that indicates the strengths and weaknesses of a design or an existing building and can be used as standalone form or for evaluation workshops [69][70][71]. Each indicator can be weighted as high (2), normal (1), or zero (0) and is evaluated with a six-point Likert scale.…”

Hospitals are complex, high-performance systems that demand continuous quality improvement. Several instruments evaluate the organizational or clinical qualities but very few focus on the built environment. The purpose of this paper is to compare and review the recent tools able to assess the hospital built environment and test how they measure health, sustainability, or both through Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE). A literature review has been conducted in the field of hospital quality assessment and 13 POE instruments have been included and analyzed through Ulrich’s Evidence-Based Design (EBD) framework. The percentage and the content of health or sustainability-related criteria have been compared and further discussed. Health related criteria the most recent tools are used three times more than in the tools developed in the nineties. The most used EBD criteria are safety enhancement (n = 131; 14%) and visual environment (n = 119; 13%). Although sustainability remains a relevant issue, today, growing attention is dedicated to the impact of built environment on occupant’s health. Further investigation is needed to understand the effectiveness of those instruments in practice.

“…al, 2013). According to Detweiler et al (2012), "healing gardens" or "therapeutic gardens" offer space for physical movements (Ghazali and Abbas, 2012), gardening activities and approximation with nature (Vries, 2010). The term "sensory garden", explains the sensory landscapes that are designed to accommodate the visually impaired, low mobility groups, aged or weak minded (Phillips and Butler, 2011).…”

This paper introduces a joint program between the University of Malaya and Kuala Lumpur City Hall undertaking the Therapeutic Sensory Stimulation Garden at University of Malaya Medical Centre to promote an inclusive society through sensory therapy. Good universal design practices of sensory gardens visited in the UK, Singapore, and Hong Kong is highlighted. Outcomes showed that users' engagement with the landscape features promotes positive developments in social behaviours. In contrary, it proved a limited partnership between practitioners, researchers, authorities and users as well as non-availability of design guidelines for these gardens. Both outcomes are a significant argument in the conclusion.
