Hubungan Stres Kerja Perawat dengan Perilaku Caring Perawat pada Pasien di Ruang Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Rumah Sakit di Kabupaten Lumajang

Abstract

The emergence of occupational stress in ICU nurses will impact physiological, psychological, and performance effects and can also impact the caring behavior of nurses towards patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship between occupational stress and caring behavior of nurses in patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Lumajang Hospital. It was analyzed using Kendall tau. There were twenty-eight nurses as the study sample obtained by a total sampling technique. The research instruments used Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) and Caring Behavior Inventory-24 (CBI-24). The results showed that most nurses experienced occupational stress with a median of 81 (min-max: 1-141) and caring behavior with a mean value of 132,11 (SD: ±4,864). There was a significant relationship between work stress and nurses' caring behavior (p= <0.006, r= - 0.506, α: 0.05), besides that the correlation coefficient was -0.506., which means that there is a solid and direct relationship with a negative relationship between nurse work stress and nurses' caring behavior. Therefore, if the nurse's work stress is low, the nurse's caring behavior will be good, and vice versa. Hence, nurses are expected to handle their stress to optimize their caring behavior.
