Bathrooms Balance Comfort, Safety

According to the Joint Commission, 75 percent of inpatient suicides take place in the bathroom, bedroom, or closet. While not every patient is intent on self-harm, facilities cannot afford the risk - both financial and moral - of leaving open opportunities for suicide or self-harm in the built environment, particularly in patient bathrooms. To learn about reducing risk in patient bedrooms, see "Furnishing a high-risk area" at behavioral.net/designfocu5l007.


"The reality is that when patients do commit acts of self-harm, it's typically a complete surprise to staff on the unit," says David Sine, CSP, ARM, co-author of the Design Guide for the Built Environment of Behavioral Health Facilities. ,"You have to design spaces that anticipate that there will be unforeseen attempts at self-harm."


However, Sine and co-author James Hunt, AlA, caution against designing spaces that are "so institutional" that they get in the way of recovery, rather than promote it. To effectively balance the desire for a comfortable, homelike patient bathroom wirh patient safety needs, Sine and Hunt share strategies for inpatient design from their guide.
