Introduction
Nurses are increasingly involved in the design of health care facilities. Although their experience differs from that of patients, they are often expected to represent patients in design processes. Especially in the context of an emergency department, patients states of mind alter their experiences. Knowledge about the role of space in ED patients experience is limited. Our study aims to gain insight into this role and thus provide ED nurses with information to better represent ED patients perspectives in design. Methods We conducted qualitative interviews with 22 patients. The interviews were supported by visual material collected through ethnographic methods to facilitate participants reflections on the role of space in their experience. Participants were selected during their stays at the emergency department by convenience sampling. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed in combination with the visual material through open and axial coding. Results We found that the role of space in ED patients experiences is affected by their altered sensory awareness and shaped by material, social, and time-related aspects. These aspects are intertwined and influenced by the transient character of the emergency department. Discussion The study indicates that paying attention to the role of space yields a nuanced understanding of ED patients experiences. The challenge for hospital designers and staff lies in taking into account patients altered sensory awareness and in designing interventions that support staff in emphasizing a human approach without counteracting the medical-technical aspect of emergency care.

Providing an improved understanding of how adaptations to the built environment affect patients and can improve their experience, thus impacting on the functioning of the department. Better preparing nurses for the role of design team members they are increasingly expected to play. |
