Description

Hyerin Lee and seven co-authors sought expert agreement on the design of seclusion rooms for psychiatric emergencies, in a 2024 study. Such rooms must serve patients who may also need medical or surgical care. Infection settings add further demands. The team ran a two-round survey of thirty-eight experts in medicine, building design, and space planning.

Experts rated room size, layout, and movement paths for effect, feasibility, and urgency. Wide, wheelchair-friendly space ranked high among size needs. Larger rooms for active patients or special procedures also ranked high. Wide passages for stretchers pushed from both sides led the movement needs. Interior features that calm patients mattered more than a separate activity area. Agreement was reached across all three domains, the authors report.
