IntroductionIn 1839, the Lexicon Medicum mentioned the “healing powers of nature”, arguing that many illnesses could be cured without the help of medicines, simply by paying attention to air, food, rest, physical activity, and state of mind. Therefore, already then, the environment was considered therapeutic and capable of affecting the health of individuals and helping their recovery (Hickman in Therapeutic landscape. A history of English hospital gardens since 1800, 2013). This awareness has remained valid since then, although the approach has changed and evolved over time.Case descriptionIn the 20th century, these assumptions have been supported, among others, by the research carried out by Ulrich on the ability of surgical patients to recover when they were exposed to the sight of nature. Indeed, there is a growing body of research which confirms the benefits of interacting with nature in hospital settings. The results of such studies have helped to better define a new approach to design that benefits the psychophysical well-being of individuals and improves their health (i.e. biophilic design).Discussion and evaluationThe aim of this article is to highlight the growing importance of a cultural change in the design of spaces aimed at reconnecting individuals with the patterns and processes of nature, both in the urban context and, in particular, in healthcare spaces. This study intends to contribute to the ongoing debate concerning a new architectural language for hospitals and to shed light on the key features of health-inducing buildings.ConclusionsThe global health challenges of the 21st century require a new way of thinking and a change in the organisation of healthcare services through an approach that considers human needs in their entirety, and not in a strictly therapeutic sense. According to several studies, the humanisation of healthcare spaces and contact with nature can empower the patient and have a positive impact by reducing stress and pain and improving emotional wellbeing. However, further studies are required not just in order to deepen our understanding of the human-nature relationship and its impact on health, but also to change our approach regarding patients’ health by considering a new vision of medicine, healthcare and healing environment.

将亲生物理论的好处应用于医院设计

简介 1839年，《医学词典》提到了“自然的治愈能力”，认为许多疾病可以在没有药物帮助的情况下治愈，只需注意空气、食物、休息、身体活动和精神状态。因此，从那时起，环境就被认为是治疗性的，能够影响个人的健康并帮助他们康复（Hickman in Therapeutic Landscape. A history of English Hospital Gardens since 1800, 2013）。从那时起，这种认识一直有效，尽管方法随着时间的推移而改变和演变。 案例描述 在 20 世纪，这些假设得到了支持，其中包括 Ulrich 进行的关于手术患者康复能力的研究暴露在自然的视野中。确实，越来越多的研究证实了在医院环境中与自然互动的好处。这些研究的结果有助于更好地定义一种新的设计方法，该方法有利于个人的心理生理健康并改善他们的健康（即亲生物设计）。讨论和评估本文的目的是强调文化日益增长的重要性旨在将个人与自然模式和过程重新联系起来的空间设计变化，无论是在城市环境中，特别是在医疗保健空间中。这项研究旨在为正在进行的关于医院新建筑语言的辩论做出贡献，并阐明促进健康的建筑的关键特征。结论 21 世纪的全球健康挑战需要一种新的思维方式和医疗保健服务组织方式的改变，通过一种全面考虑人类需求的方法，而不是在严格的治疗意义上。根据多项研究，医疗空间的人性化和与自然的接触可以通过减轻压力和疼痛以及改善情绪健康来增强患者的能力并产生积极影响。然而，需要进一步的研究，不仅是为了加深我们对人与自然关系及其对健康影响的理解，而且还需要通过考虑医学、医疗保健和康复环境的新视野来改变我们对患者健康的看法。而不是严格意义上的治疗。根据多项研究，医疗空间的人性化和与自然的接触可以通过减轻压力和疼痛以及改善情绪健康来增强患者的能力并产生积极影响。然而，需要进一步的研究，不仅是为了加深我们对人与自然关系及其对健康影响的理解，而且还需要通过考虑医学、医疗保健和康复环境的新视野来改变我们对患者健康的看法。而不是严格意义上的治疗。根据多项研究，医疗空间的人性化和与自然的接触可以通过减轻压力和疼痛以及改善情绪健康来增强患者的能力并产生积极影响。然而，需要进一步的研究，不仅是为了加深我们对人与自然关系及其对健康影响的理解，而且还需要通过考虑医学、医疗保健和康复环境的新视野来改变我们对患者健康的看法。
