Waiting Room Physical Environment and Outpatient Experience: The Spatial User Experience Model as Analytical Tool

Abstract: Waiting to receive medical attention is universally present in outpatient health services and, therefore, is a critical experience for service satisfaction. Researchers find that the waiting room physical environment influences users, and it may reduce the adverse effects of waiting. In this study, we used the spatial user experience model (SUE) framework in order to better understand the impact of waiting room features on patient experience. We developed and administered a questionnaire in waiting rooms at tw… Show more

“…One study has shown that a good physical environment in a hospital leads to a positive user experience and desired behavioral intention. 45 But unlike hospital settings or pharmacy settings that are specialized in providing healthcare delivery, home settings may not offer an optimal environment for drug storage and inhalation treatment due to different lifestyle habits and living environments. 46 A body of literature has assessed the patient adherence in clinical trials but rarely in the home-based environment.…”

“…The Parsley Health program emphasized design of the clinical and digital spaces to ensure all patients receive a similar experience regardless of the modality. Similar to the physical space of the Parsley Health clinics, the digital interface was designed to create a welcoming and calming environment to immediately activate patient satisfaction with their first encounter with a healthcare practice ( 25 ). As the pandemic evolved, patients had the option to return to in-person visits or continue telehealth services.…”

“…A total score is calculated with the following 4 cutoff ranges: 0–24, 25–43, 44–71, and greater than 71. The respective terminology for these ranges are “well” (0–24), “symptomatic” ( 25 42 ), “very symptomatic” (44–71), and “sick” (71+). For detecting changes within the PSI, a generalized linear mixed effects model (PROC Mixed Procedure; SAS version 9.4) with random subject effects to account for the correlation among repeated observations ( 47 ) was used to examine PSI score changes between baseline and subsequent follow ups, and to determine the predicted least-square (LS) mean values.…”

“…While spatial memory, and the closely related process of spatial cognition, would seem to be central to discourse within interior design research, only three articles in the Journal of Interior Design operationalized these concepts in relation to interior space (Cho & Suh, 2021; Juliá Nehme et al, 2020, 2021). Our study solidly brings the rich tradition of research on spatial memory from psychology into the interior design milieu.…”

“…Here again, there is a rich tradition of research within the field of psychology that seeks to understand the dimensions of spatial pleasantness. However, there is only one article in the Journal of Interior Design that addressed spatial pleasantness within the context of spatial cognition (Juliá Nehme et al, 2021). Thus, our research operationalizes this concept within the field of interior design.…”
