Abstract
The hospital environment may either positively or negatively affect patient experience. The potential of the hospital environment to stimulate children's psychological wellbeing (PWB) is yet to be fully understood. This paper aims to describe how interventions in the hospital may improve the PWB of pediatric patients (including self-acceptance, positive relations, autonomy, environmental mastery, life purpose, and personal growth). We conducted interviews with healthcare experts to identify possible interventions that would respond to children's needs, and architecture and mental health experts assessed the proposals' potential to improve children's PWB. Results indicate that it is possible for the hospital environment to stimulate all components of children's PWB, especially environmental mastery, personal growth, and self-acceptance.
