This study analyzes and clarifies the vague concept of a healing environment. This study used the process of Walker & Avant's concept analysis. A healing environment can be defined in terms of its attributes as follows: Healing environments are (1) the harmony between human being and nature, (2) mutual communication and interaction (3) an acclimatizable energy (4) multidimensional care. The antecedents for healing environment entail physical damage, disease condition, or weakened state caused by various factors. The physical, psychological, and emotional factors of the therapeutic environment will positively maximize the patients' healing process. Through the analysis of this concept, one hopes to clarify the concept's academic value and use the information as baseline data for theoretical development.
