THE ROLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS IN THE PROCESS OF IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF THE THERAPEUTIC SPACES OF CHILDREN IN TEHRAN WITH THE EMPHASIS ON GREEN SPACE

Abstract

            oor design of children's therapeutic spaces can exacerbate behavioral disorders and anxiety. One of the factors that can reduce this trend is the use of green space and green design in this environment so that attention to the quality of the created environment and its significant effects on the treatment of patients and reducing anxiety in them play an essential role. This study aims to change the perspective of designers in designing and analyzing and presenting strategies concerning the design of green space in therapeutic centers to improve the quality of the hospital environment and therefore accelerate the patient's improvement trend and decrease anxiety in them. The required information is collected through questionnaires between male and female children who have experienced the hospital environment. T-test was used To analyze the data in SPSS 18 software. According to the statistic amount obtained from t-test about the research hypotheses and the significance level (sig = 0,000), we can say that there is a significant difference between the average impact of green space design in the hospital and accelerate the process of improving the patients, reduce children's anxiety, improve the environmental quality of the health center and responding to the children's sanitary and psychological needs. Since the average effect of green space design on these factors is more than theoretical mean, it can be concluded that the design of green space in children's hospitals has affected these factors, and its effect is more than average. Therefore, the research hypotheses are confirmed.
