“…However, the role of the physical environment on patients' health and well-being represents a growing field of research (15)(16)(17). The focus on healing and palliative environments has gradually shifted the perspective from an exclusive focus on the functional delivery of health care treatment towards considerations on how to support the patients' experience of well-being and relief when building and designing health care settings (18,19).…”

“…As shown, the hospital environment as a contributor to patients' health and well-being is increasingly being explored (5,(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28). However, only a sparse amount of empirical research has been conducted in relation to how seriously ill patients experience their patient rooms.…”

“…A recent article by Ann Drahota, published by the Cochrane Library, has analyzed the effect of health facilitators can offer in terms of recovery. 6 The author has researched the works only on the major search engines, taking into account only those observations, all carried out in hospital for adults, where they were shown the effects on some parameters of health. The author defined positive distracters as elements of the sensory environment that included: aromas/scents; viewing artwork; viewing performance art; audiovisual distractions (television/video); decoration (color of walls); music; access to nature (gardens, window views or indoor plants).…”

The concepts of art and hospital appear at first glance to be two irreconcilable entities. Art refers to the emotional, creative and introspective level, hospital refers to the technological and scientific level. To understand the full meaning of the relation art-hospital, it is appropriate to re-evaluate the concept of health and disease.The In this context, health and disease are not two distinct entities, but they have both relative and subjective meanings, strongly influenced by the cultural contest and the psychological state of the subject.We can consider, for example, chronic cardiovascular diseases, which are now the leading cause of death in western countries. These diseases are frequently associated with psychosocial problems such as depression and states of anxiety, contributing to negative outcomes.2,3 Several observations have shown that the introduction of creative activities in an ideal therapeutic program reduces stress and depression and improve the outcome of chronic disease. There is growing international agreement that participation in the creative arts can be beneficial for health. The creative therapies most often used are: music, visual arts and expressive writing. The new hospitalThe new concept of health and disease has influenced the way of understanding the hospital-structure, where the art of healing is practiced. Attention to physical environment as an important variable in the care process has challenged the traditional setting of hospitals as depersonalized and depersonalizing places. The hospital should not be considered as a place of suffering and disease, but as the best place to promote the healing process. Architecture plays a vital role in creating facilities for patients without depriving them of all their cultural and emotional components. The very name of the hospital reflects its essential function; the adjective hospitalis means: spiritually warm and comfortable. The architecture of hospitals contributes to well being and recovery of patients.In ABSTRACTThis review explores the relationship between art and hospital, highlighting how art in hospitals can become a crucial element of the clinical governance to enhance the well being of the patients. To support this position, the authors report the experience derived from the program of Art and Culture in Hospital, which has been developed for about 10 years at

The aim of this study is to determine positive or negative effects of a nature themed indoor atmosphere on anxiety levels of patients in terms of integrity of aural-visual perception during Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (TFNAB) procedure.Within the scope of study, clinic setting where TFNAB procedure was performed within Endocrinology Clinic of a private hospital was determined as study field of sample. The study was conducted with 115 patients (58 in experimental group, 57 in control group) based on voluntariness. While a biopsy was performed on experimental group in the clinic room in which sounds of nature (bird, water, wind, etc.) were used aurally and nature themed photographs (water, plants, and mountain) were used visually, a biopsy was performed to control group in routine clinical setting.As a result of study, it was determined that while using nature-related objects in the context of aural and visual perceptions had a positive effect on patient psychology in the case study of TFNAB procedure, anxiety mean scores significantly decreased (p<0.05) after the procedure compared to pre-procedure. It is thought that this study will make contribution as sample study within the context of considering patient psychology in especially non-operative diagnosis and treatment practices. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı; Tiroid İnce İğne Aspirasyon Biyopsisi (TİİAB) işlemi sırasında, iç mekânda doğa temalı bir atmosfer oluşturulmasını işitsel-görsel algı bütünlüğünde hasta bireylerin kaygı düzeylerine olan olumlu ya da olumsuz etkilerinin belirlenmesidir.Araştırma kapsamında, özel bir hastanenin Endokrinoloji Kliniği bünyesinde TİİAB işleminin gerçekleştirildiği klinik mekân örneklem çalışma alanı olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma, gönüllülük esas kapsamında 115 hasta (58 deney grubu, 57 kontrol grubu) ile birlikte yürütülmüştür. Deney grubuna işitsel olarak doğa sesleri (kuş, su, rüzgâr vb. gibi) ve görsel olarak doğa temalı fotoğrafının (su, bitki ve dağ) kullanıldığı klinik odasında biyopsi işlemi yapılırken kontrol grubuna rutin klinik ortamında biyopsi işlemi yapılmıştır.Araştırma sonunda TİİAB örneğinde, işitsel ve görsel algı bağlamda doğa ile ilişkili ögelerin kullanılmasının hasta psikolojisi üzerinde olumlu etkisi olduğu, kaygı puan ortalamalarının işlem sonrasında işlem öncesine göre anlamlı şekilde azaldığı (p<0.05) belirlenmiştir. Bu araştırmanın özellikle ameliyatsız tanı ve tedavi uygulamalarında hasta psikolojisinin dikkate alınması bağlamında örneklem çalışma olarak katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
