What this trial studies

This study evaluates the impact of allowing patients to select visual art for their hospital room during antepartum admissions. By comparing patient satisfaction scores between those who choose their art and those who receive routine care, the study aims to determine if personalized visual elements can enhance the overall hospital experience. The methodology involves collecting satisfaction data through questionnaires administered to participants during their stay. The focus is on improving the emotional and psychological well-being of pregnant patients in a hospital setting.
