    Summary

    Environmental design changes in psychiatric facilities can improve geriatric patient behavior. Involving residents and staff in remodeling day-rooms led to increased interaction and positive behavioral outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Psychiatry
    • Environmental Psychology
    • Healthcare Design

    Background:

    • State psychiatric facilities often require adaptation to meet evolving user and program needs.
    • A seven-year-old geriatric facility, designed on a

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To adapt a geriatric psychiatric facility to better meet user and program needs through environmental modifications.
    • To enhance resident interaction, communication, stimulation, and challenging roles within the facility.

    Main Methods:

    • An interdisciplinary design group conducted research in a state psychiatric facility.
    • Residents and staff participated in decision-making for design changes, focusing on remodeling day-rooms.
    • A controlled research design with baseline and follow-up evaluations was employed.

    Main Results:

    • Measurable, positive changes in residents' behavior were observed following environmental modifications.
    • Residents who participated in decision-making regarding environmental changes showed the most significant positive behavioral improvements.
    • Remodeling day-rooms effectively increased resident interaction.

    Conclusions:

    • Environmental design modifications, particularly those involving user participation, can positively impact geriatric psychiatric patient behavior.
    • Adapting facility design to promote interaction and engagement is crucial for improving the quality of care in psychiatric settings.
    • Resident involvement in design decisions enhances the effectiveness of environmental interventions.
