This study investigates how ward furniture affects the anxiety levels of geriatric inpatients in different types of healthcare facilities in Delhi, such as government, private, and NGO-based ones. The study emphasizes on ward infrastructure because older individuals are more sensitive to hospital associated anxiety, which severely impacts their health. The study adopts a cross-sectional design and collected quantitative data from 100 geriatric inpatients (aged 65 and above) in various Delhi-based healthcare facilities using a Likert Scale instrument. Key variables such as bed comfort, furniture sturdiness, and storage facilities were examined using Chi Square statistical tests. The findings indicate a significant correlation between bed comfort and reduced anxiety levels (χ2 = 11.600, df = 4, p = 0.021), along with the importance of sturdy furniture and ample storage facilities.

摘要

This study investigates how ward furniture affects the anxiety levels of geriatric inpatients in different types of healthcare facilities in Delhi, such as government, private, and NGO-based ones. The study emphasizes on ward infrastructure because older individuals are more sensitive to hospital associated anxiety, which severely impacts their health. The study adopts a cross-sectional design and collected quantitative data from 100 geriatric inpatients (aged 65 and above) in various Delhi-based healthcare facilities using a Likert Scale instrument. Key variables such as bed comfort, furniture sturdiness, and storage facilities were examined using Chi Square statistical tests. The findings indicate a significant correlation between bed comfort and reduced anxiety levels (χ2 = 11.600, df = 4, p = 0.021), along with the importance of sturdy furniture and ample storage facilities.
