Graduate Thesis: Well Environments for Future Healers

WELL ENVIRONMENTS FOR FUTURE HEALERS FAU & BRRH HEALTHCARE EDUCATION FACILITY

Caroline Mozo Studio VI 4.21.21

RESEARCH CONTEXT

The Problem As the shortage of healthcare professionals continues to grow within the United States, the need for new & skilled workers entering the workforce is evident. High attrition of students enrolled in healthcare programs could contribute further to this shortage. One possible reason for student attrition is their reduced well-being stemming from both personal & academic stressors. One possible solution is offering these students informal learning spaces that are designed to elevate their well-being & thus support student success.

The Goal This research study aims to investigate the relationship between healthcare student well-being & the built environment within informal learning spaces. The goal is to develop design considerations for healthcare informal learning spaces that support student well being & add to the growing body of knowledge related to well-being & the built environment.

Research Questions How do informal learning spaces within healthcare instruction facilities affect healthcare student well-being? a. Which elements of the built environment support student well-being? b. Which elements of the built environment negatively impact student well-being? c. How can informal learning spaces be designed to foster community, encourage engagement, & reduce fatigue & burnout in healthcare students?
