PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CONNECTION OF THE HEALING PHENOMENON - Psychoneuroimmunology refers to the physiologic response of the body to psychological and environmental stressors . - Psychoneuroimmunology research demonstrates that emotions influence immunological functioning and that too much stress has a negative impact on the functioning of the body’s immune system.

11. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Environmental : Noise Unnecessary noise, or noise that creates an expectation in the mind, is that which hurts a patient . . . . Such unnecessary noises make aggravation delirium in many case . e.g. .noxious noises can include the noise of medical equipment; bubbling of chest tubes; staff conversations; pagers and intercom systems; ringing of telephones; opening and closing of doors, cabinets, and supply carts; and even the clattering sounds from the wheels of a passing cart.

Art work in the ICU has not been considered an important element of the essence of a healing environment .
