Özet:

 Academic research indicates that the spatial arrangements of healthcare facilities have a significant impact on the efficiency of healthcare professionals. Healthcare facilities are complex, multifunctional structures housing interconnected units. However, the insufficient involvement of healthcare professionals, who constitute one of the most crucial user groups in hospital structures, in the planning and design process can lead to negative effects on both workforce performance and work motivation. Therefore, addressing the architectural spatial quality in the context of healthcare professionals satisfaction is crucial for creating healthy work environments in hospital design. Consequently, this study aims to evaluate the spatial quality of work environments during the utilization process for healthcare professionals working in two hospitals in Istanbul. The field study was conducted through literature review, architectural project analysis, and survey research techniques. Hospitals were assessed in terms of criteria such as capacitynumerical adequacy of spatial structures based on patient density, dimensional appropriateness of spatial working areas, spatial circulation suitability for mobile machines and equipment, and suitability of spatial positioning. The survey technique involved face-to-face interviews with 90 healthcare professionals 12 doctors, 38 nurses, 40 medical technicians. The results of the study identified elevators, hospital gardens, and parking as problematic areas for healthcare professionals, leading to the determination of strategies for new hospital constructions.

 Akademik araştırmalar hastanelerin mekânsal düzenlemelerinin sağlık çalışanlarının iş verimliliği üzerinde son derece etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Hastaneler, birbiri ile ilişkili olan farklı birimleri bünyesinde barındıran karmaşık fonksiyonlu yapılardır. Ancak hastane yapılarının en önemli kullanıcı gruplarından biri olan sağlık çalışanlarının planlama ve tasarım sürecinde yeteri kadar yer almamaları, hem iş gücü performansı, hem de çalışma motivasyonları üzerinde olumsuz etkilerin oluşmasına neden olabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla hastane tasarımında mimari mekân kalitesinin sağlık çalışanlarının memnuniyeti bağlamında ele alınması sağlıklı çalışma ortamlarının oluşturulması açısından önemli olmaktadır. Bu nedenle İstanbulda yer alan iki hastanede görev yapan sağlık çalışanlarının kullanım sürecinde mekân kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi bu çalışmanın temel amacını oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada sağlık çalışanlarının çalışma ortamlarının kullanıcı ihtiyaçlarını ne ölçüde karşıladığı ve kullanıcı memnuniyeti açısından mimari mekân kalitesinin değerlendirilebilmesi için İstanbulda bulunan iki hastanede alan çalışması yapılmıştır. Alan çalışması literatür taraması, mimari proje okumaları ve anket araştırma tekniklerinde dayandırılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hastaneler hasta yoğunluğuna bağlı mekânsal yapılanmalarının kapasitesayısal yeterliliği, mekânsal çalışma alanlarının boyutsal uygunluğu, mobil makine ve ekipman açısından mekânsal sirkülasyon uygunluğu ve mekânsal konumlandırılma uygunluğu kriterleri açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Anket tekniği 90 sağlık personeli 12 doktor, 38 hemşire, 40 tıbbi teknisyen ile birebir yüz yüze yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda sağlık çalışanlarının problemli olarak tanımladıkları alanların asansörler, hastane bahçesi ve otopark olduğu tespit edilmiş ve yeni yapılacak hastaneler için bazı stratejiler belirlenmiştir.
