Objective: To identify the contributions that the nursing profession
can make to the architecture of the health spaces in order to make them the
most appropriate and sustainable as possible. Methods: Systematic review of
the literature. Used the Nursing & Allied Health Collection databases:
Comprehensive, CINAHL Complete, Library, Information Science &
Technology Abstracts; & MedicLatina. The articles were selected with the
following criteria: 1. Full-text articles; 2. Peer-reviewed articles. 3. Articles
published between 1994 to 2014. We selected 10 of the 117 articles
presented. Results: Nurses can provide valuable contributions in accordance
with its practice and holistic view of the patient that may lead to health
outcomes, not only for patients and their families but also for
multidisciplinary teams working in the various contexts of care such as acute
care, primary care and long-term care, improving the work satisfaction and
reducing the turnover. Healthy healthcare environments are associated not
only with better health outcomes but also with better management of human
and financial resources. Conclusions: it should be promoted a partnership
and coordination between architecture and nursing, to promote healthy
environments for patients and professionals, working together to eliminate
architectural barriers and investing in financial and ecological sustainability
of spaces. Further studies are needed to support this evidence.
