واکاوی پیامدهای روانی ناشی از سندرم ساختمان بیمار در مجتمع‌های مسکونی؛ مطالعه‌ی موردی: مجتمع مسکونی مهر شهرستان بروجرد

سلامت روان انسان تحت تاثیر عوامل متعددی قرار دارد که محیط کالبدی یکی از مهم‌ترین این عوامل به‌شمار می‌رود. سندرم ساختمان بیمار حالتی است که در آن ساکنان یک بنا احساس ناخوشایندی را تجربه می‌کنند و این احساس با خروج از ساختمان برطرف می‌شود. هدف این پژوهش بررسی پیامدهای روانی این سندرم در مجتمع‌های مسکونی است. در این راستا، 27 متغیر محیطی به‌عنوان عوامل مستقل و سه شاخص روانی شامل استرس، افسردگی و پرخاشگری به‌عنوان متغیرهای وابسته مورد مطالعه قرار گرفتند. داده‌ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه‌ی scl-90 جمع‌آوری شد و جامعه‌ی آماری شامل خانوارهای ساکن در مجتمع مسکن مهر شهرستان بروجرد بود. نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که استرس با عواملی چون کیفیت و جنس مصالح طبیعی، احساس امنیت و ابعاد خانه ارتباط دارد. افسردگی نیز با چیدمان فضای داخلی، تنوع مصالح، احساس امنیت و حس خلوت در خانه مرتبط است. از سوی دیگر، پرخاشگری بیشترین ارتباط را با احساس خلوت و امنیت در خانه و محوطه دارد. همچنین، پرخاشگری بیشترین تاثیرپذیری را نسبت به استرس و افسردگی از عوامل محیطی نشان داد. نتایج این تحقیق بر لزوم همکاری میان معماران، برنامه‌ریزان شهری، روان‌شناسان و متخصصان بهداشت تاکید دارد تا تاثیرات منفی سندرم ساختمان بیمار کاهش یابد و محیط‌های زیستی آرامش‌بخش‌تر و سالم‌تری فراهم آید.

the mental health consequences of sick building syndrome in residential complexes: a case study of mehr residential complex in broujerd, lorestan, iran

human mental health is influenced by numerous factors, with the quality of the built environment being one of the most significant. the living space, alongside personal, economic, social, cultural, and familial issues, plays a key role in shaping both mental and physical health. one of the key concerns related to the built environment is sick building syndrome (sbs), which refers to a condition where building occupants feel discomfort while inside, which alleviates once they leave the premises. as people spend a large portion of their time indoors, the design of residential spaces becomes essential to promoting mental well-being. this research aims to examine the psychological impacts of sbs in residential complexes. it considers 27 environmental variables as independent factors and three mental health indicators—anxiety, depression, and aggression—as dependent variables. the study was conducted on the residents of the mehr housing complex in borujerd, lorestan, iran, with 378 participants (192 women, 50.8% and 186 men, 49.2%). the data gathered from the questionnaires provided valuable insights into how environmental factors correlate with mental health outcomes. the results revealed that anxiety was most strongly related to concerns about the quality and variety of materials, security, and the spatial dimensions of the living spaces. depression was significantly linked to interior design, the quality and variety of materials, and the feelings of security and privacy in both interior and exterior spaces. aggression, on the other hand, was found to be most influenced by concerns about security and privacy in both internal and external areas of the building. moreover, the study showed that environmental quality could predict 44% of the changes in anxiety, 47% in depression, and 50% in aggression. among the environmental factors, cleanliness and security received the highest average scores of 3.16 and 3.11, respectively. in contrast, features such as smooth and fluid forms, as well as the presence of balconies, received the lowest average ratings. the overall environmental quality was assessed to be low, with an average score of 2.42, suggesting a significant need for improvement in residential designs. this study emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between urban planners, architects, and mental health professionals to mitigate the physical and psychological impacts of sbs. by fostering such collaborations, the negative effects of sbs can be minimized, leading to the creation of living environments that promote well-being. in conclusion, the research underscores the need for designing residential environments that prioritize mental health. it highlights the critical role of environmental quality in shaping psychological outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and aggression. the results indicate that improving residential spaces should be a priority for architects and urban planners in order to reduce the effects of sbs. an interdisciplinary approach, integrating architecture, urban planning, and mental health expertise, can provide a comprehensive solution to enhance the well-being of residents and create healthier living environments. this study offers valuable insights into the connection between mental health and the built environment and provides actionable recommendations for improving quality of life in residential complexes.
