Post-occupancy evaluations (POEs) assess built environments. Integrating POE methods can enhance occupational therapy (OT) environmental assessments with standardized procedures and data banks.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Psychology
  • Architecture
  • Occupational Therapy

Background:

  • Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) is a method for assessing built environments.
  • Environment-behaviour studies inform the design and use of spaces.
  • Occupational therapy (OT) currently uses environmental assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development, structure, and process of POE.
  • To illustrate POE application in healthcare settings.
  • To compare POE with OT environmental assessments and recommend improvements.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of POE development and structure.
  • Case study analysis of three healthcare examples (Canadian Hospital Evaluation Program, Weiss Institute, independent-living units).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparative analysis of POE and OT assessment approaches.

    • Main Results:

    • POEs offer a systematic approach to evaluating built environments.
    • Healthcare examples demonstrate POE's utility across different scales.
    • Significant differences exist between POE and current OT assessment methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Occupational therapy can benefit from integrating POE methods.
    • Standardized assessment procedures and validated measures are crucial for OT.
    • Developing a data bank for OT environmental assessments is recommended.
