This study is conducted to analyze how to optimize the application of healing environment interior elements (such: circulation, lighting, color, interior supporting elements: natural elements, the position of social interaction and television) inside the treatment room directly affect the patients psychologically. The research is at Kanjuruhan public hospital which has simple and candid interior physical condition. The results demonstrates that the elements of nature and natural lighting are potential to reduce patient stress, given the daily conditions of people who tend to be close to nature.
