Purpose:This study investigates the relationship between environmental quality and medical sociology in hospitals and suggests a conceptual framework for understanding their interrelation.Background:Despite the importance of environmental properties in the sociological approach to users’ health and the role of medical sociology research in the design of hospital environments, few studies have been conducted in the field of hospital environments and medical sociology interrelation. Therefore, this article attempts to fill this gap in our knowledge.Methods:A systematic review was carried out in five databases (Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, and ScienceDirect) based on PRISMA guidelines to survey how environmental quality and medical sociology factors are related in the medical/environmental sociology research and the hospital design.Results:The search yielded the final 17 potentially relevant articles after finding 3,840 records, screening 1,295 nonduplicate articles, and reviewing 158 full-text articles. The findings revealed that four main aspects of medical sociology (physical–biological, psychological, social, and economic) and hospital environmental quality (physical, social, and psychological dimensions) influence users’ health and disease status. The hospital environment includes various social issues in medical sociology (like interactions, behavior patterns, lifestyle, work motivation, and culture). The physical and psychosocial factors of the hospital environment (such as spatial configuration, aesthetics, scale, privacy, and collective spaces) are associated with psychosocial aspects of medical sociology (like social class, behavior patterns, culture, and lifestyle).Conclusion:Environmental features and psychosocial issues should be considered to improve users’ health and experience in hospitals and to create a user-centered health-promoting environment.

医院环境与医学社会学：基于系统评价的以用户为中心的环境社会学模型


目的：本研究调查了医院环境质量与医学社会学之间的关系，并提出了一个理解其相互关系的概念框架。背景：尽管环境特性在社会学方法中对用户健康的重要性以及医学社会学研究在用​​户健康中的作用医院环境设计中，医院环境与医学社会学相互关系领域的研究很少。因此，本文试图填补我们的这一知识空白。 方法：根据 PRISMA 指南，在 5 个数据库（Scopus、Web of Science、Google Scholar、MEDLINE 和 ScienceDirect）中进行系统评价，调查环境质量和医疗水平的变化情况。社会学因素与医学/环境社会学研究和医院设计相关。结果：在查找3,840条记录、筛选1,295篇非重复文章以及审阅158篇全文文章后，检索最终得出17篇可能相关的文章。研究结果表明，医学社会学的四个主要方面（物理生物、心理、社会和经济）和医院环境质量（物理、社会和心理维度）影响用户的健康和疾病状况。医院环境包括医学社会学中的各种社会问题（如互动、行为模式、生活方式、工作动机和文化）。医院环境的物理和心理社会因素（例如空间配置、美学、规模、隐私和集体空间）与医学社会学的心理社会方面（例如社会阶层、行为模式、文化和生活方式）相关。结论：应考虑环境特征和社会心理问题，改善用户的健康状况和医院体验，营造以用户为中心的健康促进环境。
