Abstract:
Experts have found that natural environment could have positive impacts on patient’s treatment process. The impact of natural
environment on mental state and lowering the stress level of the patients is undeniable. In this study, the impacts of natural
environment on patient women in Tehran general hospitals were investigated. After conducting a topical study of the issue on
hand, using field observation method, opinion of the patient women in a few of Tehran’s general hospitals was asked. Moreover,
number of doctors and architects were asked to furnish the study with their opinion on this issue. After analysis of the answers,
interesting conclusions on effect of open and green space on patient women were drawn. Based on these findings, designing open
green spaces adjoined to the maternity ward could be in a way that encourages social behaviors, personal progress and
convenient interaction with others and elevates mental and physical health of the patients.
