The patient's psychological needs have the following five levels:

 

1. Physiological needs. The torment of illness makes patients eager to get professional help from doctors and nurses, and recovering as soon as possible becomes the first need of patients.

 

2. Security needs. Illness makes patients feel that their life safety is threatened, and the safety of life is the most urgent psychological need of patients. The more serious the condition, the lower the individual's self-protection ability, and the stronger the psychological need for safety.

 

3. The need for love and belonging. Due to the torment of the disease, patients deeply look forward to the understanding, care and care of their relatives after illness, especially for hospitalized patients, leaving their familiar home and working environment and entering a completely unfamiliar hospital environment. The considerate company and spiritual support of family members will bring Give patients a strong sense of spiritual satisfaction. In addition, inpatients in the new environment have a strong motivation to belong, hoping to establish a good relationship with medical staff and patients, be accepted and recognized by the new interpersonal group, and integrate into the new environment as soon as possible.

 

4. Respect needs. The disease may lead to the partial or complete loss of the patient's self-care ability, and the need to rely on others for daily life. The patient often feels that he is a burden to others, with impaired self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, and may have an increased need for respect. Patients expect medical staff to respect their personal autonomy, protect their privacy, and respect their personality when formulating and implementing medical care plans.

 

5. I fulfill needs. This is the hardest thing to gratify during illness, because self-fulfillment requires both energy and physical strength. Illness often makes patients feel powerless and needs care from others, which can easily lead to frustration. Self-realization during illness is mainly reflected in the process of overcoming the disease. Therefore, during the course of treatment, medical staff should promptly inform the patient of the improvement of the condition and encourage the patient to overcome the disease.

 

Hospital row chairs


These are some of the psychological needs that patients will have during hospitalization.

 

Hospital row chairsoccupy a prominent position in hospital furniture. It is the most obvious placement in the entire hospital space, and it is also the hospital furniture with the highest appearance rate. When a patient walks into the hospital, it can attract attention at the first time, and can provide the patient with a rest effect.

 

Therefore, when placing hospital chairs, in addition to considering the overall decoration of the hospital, it is also necessary to consider the psychological needs of patients. 1. There are too many rows of chairs in the hospital and the layout is uneven, which not only gives patients a feeling of depression and mess, but also makes patients feel disgusted by the hospital and reject the hospital even more. 2. There are too few rows of chairs in the hospital to properly provide more patients in need, which will bring more inconvenience to patients while waiting for treatment. 3. Appropriate and well-distributed rows of hospital chairs can enhance patients' goodwill towards the hospital space, and can also considerately provide them with a better waiting space, which can relieve patients' psychological pressure on illness and better face the disease.
