ABSTRACT

Purpose: This paper tries to set up the design guidelines for the 4 bedroom in Public Hospital wards as the standard multi-bed room in order to upgrade the bedroom environment, increase inpatients’ and nurses’ satisfaction level, and decrease cross infection possibility. Methods: Literature survey containing legal standards related to hospital bedrooms in Korea, Japan and Germany have been conducted. Questionnaires have been distributed to inpatients and nurses in 39 Public Hospital, and face to face talk with ward nurses in 9 Public Hospitals have been conducted. Thereafter 10 architectural drawings, 28 questionnaires from nurses and 544 questionnaires from inpatients have been analysed. Results: This article suggests some design guidelines and example drawings of standard 4 bedroom unit in Public Hospital. Implications: The result of this research would be useful as a reference when the architect tries to design a Four-bed room unit in Hospitals.
