“…Key results from quantitative studies and the quantitative component of mixed methods studies can be found in online supplemental file 3. A summary example of the ‘qualitising data’ process relates to staff perceptions of respite spaces 20. In the study, while the raw quantitative data indicated numerical ratings—with importance scoring at 6.25 and effectiveness at 4.45 (t-value of 9.10)—the ‘qualitised’ interpretation highlighted that staff valued a dedicated respite space but had reservations about its current effectiveness.…”

ObjectivesMental health inpatient facilities are increasingly focusing on creating therapeutic, person-centred care environments. However, research shows that this focus may have unintended consequences for healthcare staff. Designs that do not pay attention to staff needs may risk contributing to stress, burnout, job dissatisfaction and mental exhaustion in the work environment. This systematic review aims to identify and synthesise current research on the design factors of adult mental health inpatient facilities that impact healthcare staff.DesignA mixed method systematic review was conducted to search for empirical, peer-reviewed studies using the databases CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed and Web of Science from their inception up to 5 September 2023. The Joanna Briggs Institute’s critical appraisal checklists were used to assess the methodological quality of the eligible studies. Data were extracted and grouped based on the facility design factors.ResultsIn our review, we included 29 peer-reviewed empirical studies that identified crucial design factors impacting healthcare staff in adult mental health inpatient facilities. Key factors included layouts providing optimal visibility, designated work and respite areas, and centrally located nursing stations. Notably, mixed perceptions regarding the benefits and challenges of open and glass-enclosed nursing stations suggest areas requiring further research. Facilities in geographically remote locations also emerged as a factor influencing staff dynamics. Additionally, although only supported by a limited number of studies, the significance of artwork, sensory rooms for respite, appropriate furniture and equipment, and access to alarms was acknowledged as contributory factors.ConclusionThrough the synthesis of existing research, this review identified that the design of mental health facilities significantly impacts staff well-being, satisfaction, performance and perception of safety. Concluding that, in order to create a well-designed therapeutic environment, it is essential to account for both service users and staff user needs.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42022368155.

“…The majority of research examining the design of the physical and digital typically focuses on one type of environment or the other. For example, recent work has investigated a range of topics in relation to the built environment, including the importance of biophilic workspaces (Dravigne et al, 2008; Dreyer et al, 2018), features of mental and behavioral health facilities (Shepley et al, 2022), and the relationship between green spaces and crime (Bogar & Beyer, 2015; Sadatsafavi et al, 2022; Shepley et al, 2019). When examining digital spheres, those that have been assessed most often in terms of VR technologies include people’s experiences within digital worlds (e.g., Kalantari et al, 2022) and the evaluation of alternative physical design decisions (e.g., Dunston et al, 2011).…”

“…Aeschbach et al ( 4 ) selected an active control group for a longitudinal randomized controlled trial and concluded that a tailored MBP may improve certain aspects of resident physicians' positive mental health. Shepley et al ( 5 ) asserted that environmental quality and characteristics can impact both the mental and behavioral health of psychiatric patients. Ke and Chen ( 6 ) based on the Health Belief Model, found that residents are living healthier lifestyles after the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, China.…”

Influence of carbon emission trading policy on residents' health in China

Residents' health is the basic condition for economic and social development. At present, China's environmental pollution problem is becoming increasingly serious, which not only hinders sustainable economic and social development, but also poses a major threat to public health. Therefore, based on the carbon emissions trading policy implemented in China, this paper explores this policy's impact on residents' health using the DID model and illustrates the moderating effect of environmental pollution. The results show that (1) carbon emissions trading policies can promote the improvement of residents' health; (2) the effect is stronger for western regions and provinces with smaller population sizes after taking control variables into consideration; and (3) environmental pollution has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between carbon emissions trading and residents' health. This research serves as an important reference for expanding the scope of the policy pilot, reducing pollutant emissions, and improving the health of the population.
