Abstract

The main objective of the research was to determine the influence of spatial psychology on the therapeutic architecture of the Ilo Oncological Institute (Moquegua). The quantitative approach with a non-experimental design was used. The study population was made up of 90 patients, 3 psychologists and 3 architects. A questionnaire and an interview guide were used as instruments. The results allow us to conclude that spatial psychology, niophilia and/or nature, color psychology, shapes in the design of a cancer center and comfort are totally influential in the emotional state and response to the treatments of patients. oncological.
