Abstract


Labor pain and anxiety are common experiences for maternity mothers, which significantly impact their satisfaction and psychological comfort. One of the continuous efforts to overcome this issue is the creation of a supportive physical environment through the concept of a healing environment. This study aims to develop a delivery room design based on the healing environment concept to improve psychological comfort and maternal satisfaction. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) method with a User-Centered Design approach. The evaluation of spatial needs was carried out through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) involving 24 pregnant women and 10 midwives representing space users, where all participants provided informed consent. The results of this study are a blueprint for a delivery room layout that integrates optimal natural elements, lighting, materials (transparent lattices, vinyl floors), and air circulation to divert stress and anxiety. The outputs of this R&D development have been officially registered as Intellectual Property Rights (HKI) at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia, consisting of the Delivery Room Design document (Registration No. EC002026041912) and the Delivery Room Design Educational Brochure (Registration No. EC002026041907). This design is expected to be applied in healthcare facilities as an adaptive spatial standard that supports a positive birthing experience.

Key words: Delivery Room Design; Healing Environment; Psychological Comfort; R&D Method; Intellectual Property Rights
