宁养机构中治疗花园的重要性

The Importance of Therapeutic Gardens in Hopice Homes

探索性地研究了宁养条件下花园的独特好处。与传统治疗花园不同,宁养花园的主要用户群体为病人——会很快从治疗程序中消失,并留下3个不同的次要用户群体——医务人员、家属和护理人员。了解这3类人群的期望有助于拓宽对卫生保健服务、治疗花园目标以及标准治疗方案三者之间关系的认知。试图定义治疗花园设计标准方案的适用性,并阐释设计师何时需要拓宽设计目标,着重解决次要"病人"群体——医务人员、家属和护理人员的健康和幸福问题。

This professional paper is an exploratory study that examines the distinct benefits that a garden provides under hospice conditions.Unlike more traditional therapeutic gardens,the primary user group-i.e.,the patient-quickly fades from the program elements,leaving three distinct secondary populations to being served-medical staff,family members,and care givers.Understanding the desired outcomes for these three populations helped the author broaden her knowledge and appreciation of the relationship between,and among,health care delivery,therapeutic garden goals/objectives,and standard treatment protocols.It is for this reason that this study attempted to define when standard therapeutic garden design protocols and goals are appropriate,and when the designer must go to a broader set of goals and objectives that address the health and wellbeing of a secondary"patient"group-i.e.,those medical staff,family,and care giver who have been left behind.
