A perceived increase in no~se level, loss of privacy, and increase m wsual dlstractmns were chief causes of complaint. There were some positive changes m group sociability. 4.3.139 (62493) Field, H.H., et aL. Hospital design evaluatmn. An mt erdlsclphnary approach. Dec 1971, 548 pp; abstr in Government Reports Announcements (Report No. PB - 211 773). The report ~s concerned with development of a composite strategy for evaluating hsopltal design. It presents the major conceptual elements and the patterns of reasoning requtred by an lnter-d~sc~phnary approach. The report presents and analyses in depth the directives and performance criteria developed d u n n g the planning and design of new m-patient factht~es at Tufts-New England Medical Center. Plans, designs, and dlrect~ves for actmn can be evaluated prior to construction and operation of a hospital faclhty but the critical test comes when people interact w~th the new physical envtronment. Empmcal techniques are considered for measuring the effects of the built environment upon h u m a n behawour and perceptions. Two specific measurement techmques developed d u n n g the course of this project were reported m detail. 4.3.140 (62495)

Several measures are suggested which which would contribute to the safe use of electric power hnes in shipbuilding. The posslblhty of misconnection should not only be mmmalsed by adequate marking but rendered impossible wherever practicable, conductors should be suspended or specmlly supported wherever possible, and the number and length of trailing cables should be mmtm~sed, due attention must be pa~d to the safe installation, insulation and protection of hghtmg systems and power outlets for hand-held electrical tools, etc. The use of extension cables and portable lamps should be authonsed only in exceptional cases, and subject to specml permits.

Roneo, P.G. Human factors apphed to hospital patient care. Human Factors, Oct 1972, 14.5,461 - 470. Human factors specialists who conduct research on the design of hospitals should consider the needs of patients, not just those of doctors, nurses and other staff. Patients are subject to physical and psychological confinement, lack of privacy, lack of famdxar support, and disruption of famlhar behavmur patterns, all contributing to loss of personal control and an increase m the stress from hospltahzatmn. To help design better hospital envtronments for patients, ~t will be necessary to identify relat~onshlps between particular envtronmental features, subjective reactions to these, and overt behavlours which such features influence. 4.3.143 (62505)
