A healing environment is a physical setting and/or organizational culture that supports patients and families through the stresses imposed by illness, hospitalization, medical visits, the process of healing, and sometimes, bereavement. Healthcare workers can help to provide a healing environment for their patients that is based on cultural sensitivity and patient preference.

Choose a religion, culture, or people that you would be taking care of in a healthcare environment.
Choose a patient scenario around birth, illness, or death.
What would you do to assist the client in creating a healing environment?
What items, things, or objects would you include or exclude?
What would be beneficial in their healing and what would you avoid?
