Evidence-based design for infants and staff in the neonatal intensive care unit
Abstract
Conscientious architects are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of design decisions on the sensory environment of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This article addresses the relevance of theories of environmental psychology to NICU design. Design research on infants and staff in NICUs is summarized, and future research directions are identified.
