Author : Harshitha M and Dr. Nischay N Gowda
Abstract
This research embarks on a nuanced exploration of the interior psychology inherent in pediatric clinics, aiming to unravel the intricate dynamics between design elements and the emotional well-being of young patients. Acknowledging the pivotal role that physical environments play in shaping children's perceptions of healthcare, this study seeks to advance our understanding of how thoughtful interior design can foster a positive and supportive atmosphere within pediatric clinics. The primary objective is to dissect the multifaceted components that contribute to a holistic healing environment for children. The research delves into the impact of color psychology, spatial configuration, and thematic elements on the emotional and cognitive experiences of pediatric patients. Furthermore, it investigates the significance of interactive features, age-appropriate design considerations, and sensory stimuli in crafting spaces that resonate with the unique developmental needs of children. The outcomes of this research are envisioned to provide architects, interior designers, and healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the nuanced interplay between design and psychology in pediatric clinics. Ultimately, the research seeks to contribute to the evolving dialogue surrounding the transformative potential of interior design in pediatric healthcare settings.
