    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Nursing
    • Healthcare Environmental Design
    • Child Psychology

    Background:

    • Children with special needs frequently experience hospital admissions, often leading to anxiety.
    • Existing hospital environments may not adequately cater to the sensory and emotional needs of these children.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To implement and evaluate environmental changes on a day case ward to improve the experience of children with special needs.
    • To reduce patient anxiety and enhance comfort through tailored environmental adjustments.

    Main Methods:

    • Modifying ward aesthetics to include neutral colors.
    • Proactive parental engagement to identify child-specific preferences and needs.
    • Personalizing the hospital stay by encouraging familiar items.
