The number of hospitals in Indonesia continues to increase. In 2022, there were 39 hospitals recorded in Bandung City. This increases the competitiveness of the hospitals themselves. To increase the number of visitors (patients and non-patients) and hospital profits, both medical and non-medical facilities are being completed. The relatively long waiting time for intensive care unit patients' companions also encourages hospitals to provide facilities that support the activities of patient companions while in the hospital. Until now, there have been no government regulations that directly regulate non-medical supporting facilities in hospitals, so there are disparities in the non-medical supporting facilities available in each hospital. Examples of non-medical supporting facilities include healing gardens, cafes, retail outlets, places of worship, accommodation, and other public facilities that can be used by visitors for personal activities. Non-medical supporting facilities are believed to encourage an increase in the quality of well-being of intensive care unit patient companions. The abundance of non-medical supporting facilities developing within hospitals brings about changes in the spatial arrangement for these facilities. This research will identify what facilities already exist in hospitals and develop appropriate standards for non-medical supporting facilities within hospitals. It will also examine the relationship between the subjective well-being of intensive care unit patient companions and hospital non-medical supporting facilities. The scope of this research is hospitals located in Bandung City.
