Recognition of Effective Physical Components in the Interior Architecture of Dental Clinics for Reduction of Stress Level.

With the development of societies and the increase of various diseases, paying attention to mental and emotional issues has gained special importance. Therapeutic environments are spaces where anxiety and stress are abundantly seen. Being in an unfamiliar environment, not knowing about the treatment process, pain, injections, unpleasant smells, etc. can create an unpleasant feeling in patients. Today, paying attention to the body of the therapeutic environment and creating a healing environment for patients is the priority of designers. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors affecting the reduction of stress in dental clinics and to provide specific solutions for the interior design of dental clinics, which creates a pleasant environment in the treatment process. In this research, firstly, the views of related theorists were examined and the conceptual model of the research was extracted from the summary of library and documentary studies. Then, by using a questionnaire, the opinions of experts and experts regarding the effective physical components of stress reduction were measured, and by using Amarispss software, the value level of the components was calculated and the components were ranked. Finally, the conceptual model was examined and analyzed in two case examples (Zafar Clinic and Vahdati Far Clinic) and the obtained results are presented in the form of tables and diagrams. According to the obtained results, the physical components of the environment such as: color, geometry and form, natural and artificial light, sound and music, ventilation and open air, natural elements and green space, desirable smell and aroma, desirable sight and view, Proportions and scale can help to reduce the stress of patients with a positive effect on their health and even lead to speeding up the healing process, and finally, its positive effects can be seen in the form of relaxation of patients in dental clinics.
