In this article, the impact of the architecture of the interior spaces of the hospital on the recovery of neuropsychiatric patients was investigated. The statistics of the population of all male patients (veterans and non-veterans) hospitalized in Isar Neuropsychological Hospital of Ardabil, 50 of them were selected by sampling during the spring of 1400. Data analysis was done using multiple linear regression model. Independent variables include 10 physical indicators of study rooms and architectures related to the amount of weight loss. Independent reports were evaluated by architectural assessment and DASS-21 standard 21-question questionnaire was used to calculate the assessment value. The findings showed that among the 10 physical indicators studied, six factors had a significant effect on the rate of reduction. Regarding risk reduction, "artificial light", "external view", "far from toilet", "natural light", "noise control" and "wall materials and color" have the most impact, respectively. Also, the effect of effective factors on veteran patients was higher than on non-veteran patients. The benefits of the findings of this article can be used in the design of hospital spaces for neuropsychiatric patients and especially for veteran architects.In this research, the effect of physical factors of inpatient rooms on the improvement of anxiety in male mental patients hospitalized in Isar Ardabil Hospital was investigated. This study was conducted on two groups of patients (veteran patients in the war imposed by Iraq on Iran and non-veteran patients). Depending on whether the psychiatric patients hospitalized in each room are veterans or non-veterans, the architect designer can apply his plans according to the physical factors that have the most impact on the improvement of psychological states, in terms of accessibility in terms of local conditions. Also, it is possible to provide physical proposals and different plans for the hospital rooms of veteran and non-veteran patients. Architects can take advantage of the common factors effective in improving the anxiety of veteran and non-veteran patients in the design of common spaces between people. Since architects seek to find common points between different people and different factors, the findings of the present research are useful in finding the point of agreement between people with different mindsets. According to the aforementioned findings, the impact of architectural physical factors, which may seem insignificant at first glance, is significant in the process of treating and reducing the anxiety of mental patients. Observing the points related to the organization of the internal spaces of hospitals, especially in treatment centers for mental patients, is one of the cheap methods with high efficiency to speed up the process of treating patients. Therefore, it is recommended to improve as much as possible the mental states of patients, regardless of whether they are veterans or non-veterans, in the design of the neurology department of hospitals, effective architectural components should be given special attention. In addition, it is necessary for the planners and managers of treatment spaces to have more cooperation with the architects and designers of the interior spaces of hospitals.
