Indoor Environment Design to Promote the Rehabilitation Efficiency of Patients with Depression
In recent years,the number of depression patients in China has sharply increased,posing a seri-ous threat to the lives and health of the people.However,there is a lack of environmental design methods targeting the psychological characteristics and behavioral patterns of depression patients.Behavioral obser-vation method was used to record the patient behavior types,frequency,and location information of five typical mental health centers in east China.Combined with relevant literature and theories,environmental factors and pathways that affect the psychological healing of depression patients were put forward.On this basis,the paper combined relevant case studies to propose interior design strategies that promote the reha-bilitation efficiency from five aspects:reducing stimulation levels,avoiding negative intentions,providing natural landscapes,meeting sunlight needs and supporting diverse activities.The research may contribute to the theoretical system of healing environment,and provide some guidances for healthcare building de-signers and managers.
