The Veteran's Administration (VA), recognizing the potential influence that nurturing interior environments may have on patient well-being, has been designing and constructing mental health settings intended to calm, restore, and revive. Unfortunately, limited research investigates the links between the interior environment and mental health outcomes that can be used for guiding the design for these facilities. This paper seeks to provide a framework for designing person-centered mental health interiors that would be supportive of human factors for a healthcare organization's clinical and operational staff as well as Veterans. The framework is intended to assist healthcare providers in achieving mental health aims through thoughtful, evidence-based, person-centered design. Based on a review of the literature and case study investigations of three VA acute inpatient mental health units in the United States, the framework is comprised of six domains: Involve, Protect, Engage, Comfort, Personalize, and Sustain. These domains, informed by existing credible research and best practices, were vetted through post-hoc analysis of qualitative data gathered from interviews, focus groups, and/or listening sessions conducted with the three sites. The resultant Framework for Designing Person-Centered Mental Health Interiors for Veterans, developed based on the data and methodologies used in conducting this study, is meant as a complementary resource for informing future research, planning, design, and operation of acute inpatient mental health spaces. The research team's aim was to develop an accessible set of evidence-based environmental planning considerations to aid in the prioritization and development of person-centered mental health environments.

为退伍军人设计以人为本的心理健康室内设计框架

退伍军人管理局 (VA) 认识到培育内部环境可能对患者健康产生潜在影响，一直在设计和构建旨在平静、恢复和恢复精神健康的环境。不幸的是，有限的研究调查了可用于指导这些设施设计的室内环境与心理健康结果之间的联系。本文旨在为设计以人为中心的心理健康内部空间提供一个框架，该框架将支持医疗机构的临床和运营人员以及退伍军人的人为因素。该框架旨在通过深思熟虑、以证据为基础、以人为本的设计，帮助医疗保健提供者实现心理健康目标。根据对美国三个 VA 急性住院精神卫生部门的文献和案例研究调查的回顾，该框架由六个领域组成：参与、保护、参与、舒适、个性化和维持。这些领域以现有的可靠研究和最佳实践为依据，通过对从三个站点进行的访谈、焦点小组和/或聆听会议收集的定性数据进行事后分析进行审查。由此产生的以人为本的退伍军人心理健康室内设计框架是基于进行本研究时使用的数据和方法而开发的，旨在作为补充资源，为急性住院心理健康空间的未来研究、规划、设计和运营提供信息. 研究小组'
