Environmental Palliative Care: The Healing Space Concept

By Caruntu Adriana

Environmental Palliative Care: The Healing Space Concept introduces an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to palliative care that recognizes the environment itself as a therapeutic agent.
Beyond symptom control and clinical interventions, this book explores how physical space, nature, light, sound, sustainability, and design profoundly influence comfort, dignity, emotional well-being, and quality of life for patients with serious and life-limiting illnesses. Drawing on evidence from healthcare design, environmental psychology, palliative medicine, and ethics, this volume provides a practical framework for creating healing environments across hospitals, hospices, long-term care facilities, and home-based settings.
This book positions environmental palliative care as an essential dimension of whole-person care, aligning compassion, sustainability, inclusivity, and human-centered design in support of vulnerable populations.
