Abstract
A healing environment, as a therapeutic and rehabilitative spatial setting, leverages the user's environmental recognition process to enhance environmental psychological suggestion, thereby stimulating physiological and psychological self-healing abilities. Concurrently, as a vital therapeutic and rehabilitative space within healthcare, a healing environment necessitates the fulfillment of medical treatment demands and technological requirements, resulting in unique spatial characteristics with strong identifiable features. Based on the perspectives of patient and provider psychology and environmental needs, this study analyzes how women and children perceive healing environments. By considering the structural form and intrinsic characteristics of spaces, it identifies the recognizable features of women and children friendly healing environments in primary healthcare settings. Consequently, it extracts the influential factors of such environments in primary hospitals and establishes an index system for them. The research findings can serve as a reference for constructing women and children friendly healing environments in medical institutions or urban spaces.
