Hubungan Stigma HIV/AIDS dengan Burnout pada Perawat di RSD Balung Kabupaten Jember

Abstract

Introduction: Nurses involved in the care of people living with HIV (PLHIV) can both experience and transmit stigma, potentially leading to burnout, defined as long-term work stress. This study aimed to determine the relationship between HIV/AIDS stigma and burnout among nurses at Balung Regional Hospital in Jember. Methods: This research is a correlational analysis study with a cross sectional approach conducted at RSD Balung, Jember Regency. Using a purposive sampling technique, with a sample of 111 respondents. The research instruments used were the HIV/AIDS Stigma Instrument (HASI-N) to determine HIV/AIDS stigma and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-22) to determine burnout. Data were collected in March-April 2026 and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The correlation test used the Spearman's rho test because the data were not normally distributed, with a 95% confidence interval. Results: The results showed that nurses' HIV/AIDS stigma was low (mean = 2.82). Meanwhile, nurse burnout was also low (mean = 18.19), with the highest incidence being in each dimension of personal accomplishment (18%), depersonalization (9%), and emotional exhaustion (4.5%). Analysis: Spearman's rho test revealed a positive but weakly significant relationship between HIV/AIDS stigma and burnout (p = 0.011; r = 0.240). Discussion: These findings indicate that more frequent exposure to or perception of HIV/AIDS stigma is associated with more intense burnout experiences among nurses caring for HIV/AIDS patients. This study highlights the importance of educational interventions to reduce HIV/AIDS stigma and develop a supportive work environment to minimize burnout.
