Abstract
The nurse station is the hub of various activities in the hospital ward space. The service design of nurse station plays an important role in patients’ hospitalization experience and nurses’ work experience. In this paper, Kano model is introduced into the Kansei Engineering method to study the service of ward nurse station. A questionnaire survey is conducted among nurses and patients in three hospitals. This study compared nurse and patient evaluations to reveal the relationship between ward nurse station service attributes and user perception, and to determine the priority of nurse station service attributes that need to be improved. This study can help hospital managers improve the service quality of ward nurse station. When hospital managers want to improve the experience of patients and nurses, they can improve the service quality by improving the service attributes that affect the experience.
