Environment is the most broadly discussed perspective in Nightingale's hypothesis.Ecological variables incorporated into Nightingale's hypothesis include ventilation, warmth,noise, light, architect, and cleanliness (Nightingale, 1860). Nightingale (1860) underlines that without perfect, unadulterated warm air; a patient willprobably never recover. She underlines that if a medical attendant could just put in someeffort, he must overlook everything else and "KEEP THE AIR HE [the patient] BREATHESAS PURE AS THE EXTERNAL AIR, WITHOUT CHILLING HIM" (Nightingale, 1860).Nightingale (1860) likewise explains on the possibility that "Unnecessary noise, or noise thatcreates a disturbance in the mind, is that which hurts a patient”. This noise could bedevelopmental construction outside, or a whispering discussion between a medical attendantand a specialist (Nightingale, 1860). Nightingale depicts light as a key part of life. She showsthat the moment a shrinking plant or individual is exposed to the sun, and they are not veryfar-gone, they will breathe in new life again (Nightingale, 1860). Nightingale (1860) even explains that awful engineering can make it difficult for a patient tonurture. She likewise legitimizes that a perfect room, bed, and dress is basic for therecuperation of the patient (Nightingale, 1860) ("Federal Register of Legislation", 2017).Nursing is tended to in Nightingale's hypothesis, in that she expresses that medical attendantsmust "put the patient in the best condition for nature to follow up on him" (Nightingale,1860). Nightingale’s hypothesis still applies to nursing (Effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov, 2017).In hospitals today, there is usually a window in the room to let sunlight in (Natsihwa.org.au,2017). Daylight may diminish the measure of stress, nervousness, and feeling of torment feltby patients, it might even reduce the amount of time required for the patient to heal (Joseph,2006, p. 5-6).
In addition, cleanliness is of extreme significance. In clinics today, all the rooms are cleanedspotless and bed sheets used by previous patients are removed and replaced with clean ones.Without proper cleaning, patients may create HAIs every now and then (Agency forHealthcare Research and Quality, 2014, p. 1). Satisfactory ventilation is additionally vital tohelp the patient recuperate ("Rheumatic heart disease", 2017). Few examinations havedemonstrated that satisfactory ventilation decreases the maladies caused by certain airborneinfectious creatures (Urlich, Zimring, Quan, Joseph, and Choudhary, 2004, p. 4). One way toprovide satisfactory ventilation is to open a window, unless contraindicated, and ensuresupport to keep up the structures ventilated and channelled clean. One issue that may emergefrom lack of ventilation in a healing facility or any building is a wiped out building disorder(Urlich et al., 2004, p. 4). Wiped out building disorder can create signs like dazedness,cerebral pains, hacks, troubled thinking, weariness and so on (Joshi, 2008). Despite the factthat healing facilities are normally cold, Nightingale's concept of warmth is relevant eventoday (Healthdesign.org, 2017). At the point when patients feel cold, a warm cover from asweeping heater is generally given to them, unless contraindicated (Circ.ahajournals.org,2017). In addition, there are warmers in doctor's facilities to keep up a steady temperatureamid winter months especially if the area of the healing centre gets too cold during winters(Humanrights.gov.au, 2017).
