Does the physical environment matter? - A qualitative study of healthcare professionals' experiences of newly built stroke units.

: Organized care in specialist stroke units is fundamental for achieving better outcomes for persons with stroke. Although the importance of the physical environment for health and well-being is well recognized, research regarding how environmental features can influence stroke care is limited. The aim was to elucidate healthcare professionals' experiences of the physical environment in newly built stroke units with respect to stroke care.

Nursing students' perception of climate change and sustainability actions - A mismatched discourse: A qualitative, descriptive exploratory study.

Background: Climate change is described as the biggest global challenge for human health in the upcoming decade. Nurses play a central role in mitigating the effect of climate change on the healthcare sector and adapting to the phenomenon. Therefore, nursing students must be prepared for a new professional role keeping climate change in mind; consequently, it is important to study students' perceptions of climate change and sustainability.

"It's Lonely": Patients' Experiences of the Physical Environment at a Newly Built Stroke Unit.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore patients' experiences of the physical environment at a newly built stroke unit.

Background: For a person who survives a stroke, life can change dramatically. The physical environment is essential for patients' health and well-being.

A Study of Relationships Between Content in Documents From Health Service Operational Plans and Documents From the Planning of New Healthcare Environments.

Aim: The aim was to investigate the content and quality of the governing documents created in the planning and design phase of new healthcare environments and in the related healthcare strategic and operational plans.

Background: Quality deficits in buildings can often be traced back to the initial stages in the planning and design phase. Although large investments have been made to improve the process of planning new healthcare environments and linking the requirements to health service strategies, healthcare organizations rarely relate their strategy goals to the built environment.

The physical environment and patients' activities and care: A comparative case study at three newly built stroke units.

Aim: To explore and compare the impact of the physical environment on patients' activities and care at three newly built stroke units.

Background: Receiving care in a stroke unit instead of in a general ward reduces the odds of death, dependency and institutionalized care. In stroke units, the design of the physical environment should support evidence-based care.

A comparative study of patients' activities and interactions in a stroke unit before and after reconstruction-The significance of the built environment.

Early mobilization and rehabilitation, multidisciplinary stroke expertise and comprehensive therapies are fundamental in a stroke unit. To achieve effective and safe stroke care, the physical environment in modern stroke units should facilitate the delivery of evidence-based care. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore patients' activities and interactions in a stroke unit before the reconstruction of the physical environment, while in a temporary location and after reconstruction.
