    A pesar del auge del movimiento por la humanización del ambiente sanitario, la implementación de mejoras en el diseño que reduzcan los efectos negativos del entorno hospitalario no se ha llevado a cabo de forma generalizada. Se revisan las aportaciones de la investigación psico-ambiental sobre las implicaciones psicosociales del diseño en la salud y bienestar de los usuarios en las áreas de eficiencia de la atención sanitaria, compromiso de los pacientes, interacción social, orientación espacial y estrés ambiental. También se realizan recomendaciones para el diseño del espacio atendiendo a su doble función como lugar de permanencia para el paciente y lugar de trabajo para el personal. Finalmente, se discute la amplificación de los efectos negativos del entorno hospitalario durante la situación de pandemia provocada por el COVID-19. Esta revisión es una guía básica de los efectos del ambiente hospitalario para profesionales del sector con el objetivo de mejorar la atención sanitaria.

    Despite the popularity of the humanization movement in healthcare environments, there has been no systematic implementation of design changes aimed at reducing the negative effects of hospital environments. This article reviews the contributions made by psycho-environmental research about the psycho-social implications of design for users’ health and well-being in the areas of healthcare, patient engagement, social interaction, spatial orientation and environmental stress. It also proposes recommendations for spatial design regarding the dual function of hospitals as a place of care for patients and a place of work for staff members. Finally, it discusses the amplification of the negative effects of hospital settings during the COVID-19 pandemic. This review provides a basic guide to the environmental effects of hospitals aimed at health professionals with a view to improving healthcare.
