Design-Related Impacts on End-of-Life Experience: A Brief Report of Findings from an Exploratory Qualitative Study.

Physical, emotional, and social wellbeing at the end of life is coalesced in and made visible by the designed environment. Therefore, evidence-based design serves as an important non-clinical intervention in such settings; however, patient involvement in such research remains difficult. Future scholarly research, new building schemes, and renovation projects should further examine the socio-spatial functions of clinical EoLC environments and investigate the challenges surrounding patient engagement within this domain.
