This paper discusses the potential role of inpatient layout in creating a healing environment for its users, whether there is an existing relationship between inpatient typology and healing environment. The study employs an evidence-based design method adopting a qualitative-quantitative approach as a multiple research methodology. Quantitatively, an EBD questionnaire-ASPECT was distributed to the users to assess the healing environment within specific cases; syntactic maps were used to assess the configuration of inpatient layouts. Qualitatively, a modified EBD-AEDET tool was used as a checklist evaluation. Four different inpatient typologies (H-shape, T-shape, U-shape, L-shape) were chosen to represent four hospitals in Erbil city. Results showed that there is a clear effect of the inpatient typology on the healing environment of patients. Research outputs provide a useful database for healthcare designers in their future designs, especially for inpatient units due to their influential role in creating a healthy and safe healing environment for patients.

本文讨论了住院布局在为其用户创建康复环境中的潜在作用，以及住院类型和康复环境之间是否存在现有关系。该研究采用了基于证据的设计方法，该方法采用了定性-定量方法作为多元研究方法。向用户分发了EBD问卷-ASPECT，以评估特定病例中的康复环境；句法图用于评估住院布局的配置。定性地，使用改良的EBD-AEDET工具作为清单评估。选择了四种不同的住院类型（H型，T型，U型，L型）来代表埃尔比勒市的四家医院。结果表明，住院类型对患者的康复环境有明显的影响。
