“…In addition to this, a combination of ethnographic observations and thermal camera recordings showed that both figurative and abstract art can influence well-being. This was explained by improved environment, enhanced social interaction, increased self-esteem and a virtual connection to the activities outside the hospital [ 25 ]. This has been confirmed in a qualitative study including 20 older patients [ 26 ].…”

“…Moreover, two studies by Nielsen et al. showed by anthropological methods that abstract art can have positive effects on patient well-being [ 25 , 27 ]. An advantage of abstract art over figurative art is the huge number of possible interpretations meeting various cognitive needs of different viewers [ 12 ].…”

“…Abstract art can also enable an emphasis on color effects on patient well-being. A preference of light colors and a greater importance of color and brightness for patient preferences has been suspected [ 25 ]. Although there is not much scientific evidence available, some interesting art projects in hospitals, e.g.…”

Summary Background Evidence-based art is the investigation of art effects and art investigated for effects. In this study the evidence regarding patient preferences for art styles and effects of art in nonpsychiatric hospitals and outpatient departments was reviewed. Methods Results from original articles were retrieved by a scoping PubMed search and by browsing the internet using the terms “evidence based art”, “evidence based design”, “art and hospital” and “design and hospital”, “art effect”, “design effect”, “landscape preference” and “abstract art figurative art”. The quality of art was not operationalized as a criterion. Results Of the articles 7 original sources showed patient preference for natural scenes and figurative art, 2 studies showed no preference, 16 studies showed positive art effects on well-being and behavior and 5 studies showed a positive effect of nature pictures on measurable findings. Conclusion Controversial results together with theoretical aspects suggest natural scenes in patient rooms and diverse art in public areas.

“…The notion of aesthetics, in particularly, the impact of art during hospitalization has been investigated empirically (Nielsen et al, Nielsen, 2017a ,; Stine Louring Nielsen et al, 2017 ; Trevisani et al, 2010 ). The effect of art in the hospital has been assessed in relation to the patients’ feelings and emotions (Trevisani et al, 2010 ) and has the potential to influence patients mood and well-being (Moss, 2014 ; Ulrich et al, 2011 ; Zhang et al, 2019 ).…”
