Wayfinding systems play an increasingly important role in contemporary built environments by supporting navigation, orientation, and spatial understanding, and by enhancing users' overall experience of place. Healthcare buildings, particularly hospitals, represent some of the most complex environments due to their large scale, intricate interior layouts, and diverse user groups, which makes effective wayfinding essential for reducing confusion and improving accessibility. 

This study examines the effectiveness of wayfinding systems in achieving spatial cognition within King Abdullah University Hospital as a case study. It evaluates the extent to which existing wayfinding tools support users in identifying their location, navigating interior spaces, and reaching their intended destinations. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to patients, visitors, and staff, in addition to an analysis of architectural and spatial design elements related to orientation and guidance. 

The study focuses on two main issues: the level of implementation of wayfinding systems and the degree of spatial cognition achieved from the users' perspective. Its primary objective is to enhance navigation efficiency and user experience in healthcare environments by examining the role of integrated wayfinding strategies. 

The significance of this research lies in its contribution to environmental graphic design and wayfinding studies, providing insights that may benefit healthcare authorities, hospital administrators, and professionals in graphic, interior, and architectural design, with the aim of developing more effective and user-centered wayfinding systems.​​
