Summary

Adolescent patients personalize ward spaces to express identity beyond being a patient. Understanding these self-created spaces helps nurses enhance adolescent patient care and collaboration.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare research
  • Adolescent patient care
  • Environmental psychology in healthcare

Background:

  • Adolescent-specific wards offer peer interaction, privacy, and independence.
  • Designed to meet the unique needs and routines of adolescent patients.
  • Separate environments facilitate age-appropriate nursing care.

Observation:

  • Participant observation and interviews were conducted between 2002 and 2003.
  • 35 observations and 28 interviews explored adolescent and nursing staff use of ward space.
  • Patient demographics and ward policies were also analyzed.

Findings:
