Cancer is the second deadliest disease after coronary heart disease. In general, cancer patients often experience psychological disorders due to the effects of the chemotherapy treatment that they are undergoing. The comfort factor becomes important in improving the cancer patients’ quality of life when undergoing chemotherapy. The theory that can improve the quality of life is by applying aspects of healing environment. Therefore, researchers become interested in conducting research study to determine the comfort level of cancer patients against the use of healing environment, with the voting method and the likert scale to 23 respondents of cancer patients in Jakarta.
