BASIC CONCEPTS OF NURSING
1.1 Introduction
Nurses as one of the health workers play an important role in efforts to achieve
health development goals. The success of health services depends on the
participation of nurses in providing quality care for patients. Patient services in
nursing require comprehensive, careful services to prevent death and disability
by paying attention to biopsychosocial and cultural aspects. Of course, to
support this, the basic concept of nursing is needed which is expected to
achieve professional nursing as the object of nursing care provided. Referring
to the condition of services in Nursing, nurses must have minimum abilities
which are then outlined and developed in the nursing education curriculum in
the Professional Nursing course (Tussaleha, 2014).
Nursing is a form of professional service that is an integral part of health
services, based on nursing science and tips, in the form of comprehensive bio-
psycho-social-spiritual services, aimed at individuals, families and
communities both sick and healthy which covers the entire process of human
life (Kusnanto,
2003). Nurse comes from the Latin word nutrix which means to care or
maintain. According to Kusnanto (2003), a nurse is a person (a professional)
who has the ability, responsibility and authority to carry out nursing
services/care at various levels of nursing services. Meanwhile, nurses,
according to Wardhono (1998), are people who have completed professional
nursing education, and are given the authority to carry out their roles and
functions.
1.2 Definition of Nursing
In 1999 the UKCC stated that "the definition of nursing will be too restrictive
for the profession", however, in practice the definition of nursing includes
policy formulation, service specifications, and educational curriculum
development (Mcgee, 2017; Nursing, 2003). Nursing can control the services
that are budgeted, financed, research activities and policy determination.
Different types of nursing definitions are needed for a variety of different
purposes. The definition of nursing can be interpreted implicitly and explicitly,
the code of ethics, the specification of the scope of nursing practice, and the
educational curriculum.
Nursing care has been defined by the Health and Social Care Law since 2001
which distinguishes 'social care' or 'personal care' from 'professional care'
which aims to define the responsibility for the provision of services and the
feasibility of using the budget (President of the Republic of Indonesia, 2014).
This definition of legislation affects the definition of professional nursing
service delivery which places basic concepts to overcome all client problems
from the nursing side.
The definition of nursing presented in this paper is expressed in the form of
concepts supported by six characteristics. The provision of nursing care is
holistic and includes the provision of services for healthy and sick clients in
groups and individuals, so it must involve other professions in the form of
collaboration. The difference between professional nursing and other nursing
lies in the type of task performed, or in the level of skill required to perform a
particular task.
Berikut ciri-ciri praktik professional (Koning et al., 2021; Maglione & Neville,
2021):
1. Clinical assessment inherent in the process of assessment, diagnosis,
prescription and evaluation
2. Knowledge that is the basis of needs assessment and determination of
actions to meet needs
3. Personal accountability for all decisions and actions, including the decision
to delegate to others
4. A structured relationship between nurses and patients that combines
professional regulations and codes of ethics within a legal framework.
The complexity of public health care needs requires collective knowledge,
skills and actions from many disciplines and professions. Each discipline
collaborates in the form of knowledge and skills, but still contributes in
accordance with the expertise and domain of their respective assignments
agreed upon by the profession (Nursing, 2003). The unique contribution of
each discipline lies in the special and unique combination of elements and
perspectives and orientations of each.
The main concept in nursing is also found in the definition of nursing
developed by the World Health Organization: "The mission of nursing in
society is to help individuals, families and groups achieve
optimal physical, mental and social health (Darling et al., 2021; Nursing,
2003). This requires nurses to develop and perform the functions of health
promotion and maintenance as well as the prevention of poor health conditions.
Nursing also includes the planning and execution of care during illness and
rehabilitation which includes hissic, mental and social aspects of life as they
affect health, illness, disability and death.
The focus of nursing care is individuals, families, and groups across the entire
life span from conception to death. Nursing is an art and science that requires
the understanding and application of knowledge and skills in the discipline. It
also refers to knowledge and techniques derived from the humanities and
physical, social, medical and biological sciences."
1.3 Basic Concepts of Nursing
Health is considered a fundamental concept in nursing practice. Nurses must
understand and learn concepts and clarifications to be able to improve nursing
practice. According to the dictionary, a concept is defined as "something
contained in an abstract or generic mind or idea that is generalized from certain
events". A concept is an abstract used to describe several phenomena that occur
naturally (Kynoch et al., 2021).
Theories in various disciplines related to nursing are psychological and
biological disciplines (Patel, 2019). The Psychological discipline talks about
personality, intelligence, and cognition while the biological discipline involves
protoplasmic cell species. There are four concepts in nursing theory that affect
nursing practice, including the goals, roles, and functions of patients, the
environment, health and nursing (Patel, 2019). Practice in nursing needs to be
improved, one of which is by clarifying the concepts that build it. This clarity
refers to a process called concept development (Fhirawati; Sihombing Marlyn,
2020). As a healthcare professional, it is important to develop scientific
research from basic concepts related to the field of interest. Concept analysis is
about learning the meaning of concepts aimed at resolving gaps and providing
a better understanding. Concepts range from reality to abstract and are
influenced by certain factors.
1.4 Critical Thinking and Critical Reasoning
Nurses in providing care to patients, must make decisions using critical
thinking and clinical reasoning. Critical thinking is a term often used in nursing
that includes "reasoning about clinical issues such as teamwork, collaboration,
and streamlining the flow of work (Process & Nurhaliza, 2013; Puji, n.d.).
Using critical thinking means that nurses are able to independently take extra
steps to keep patients safe and means also independently doing their duties,
rather than just following orders. The accuracy of patient information is
validated and the plan to treat patients is based on their needs, current clinical
practice, and research.
Critical thinking makes nurses choose certain attitudes, eventually cultivating
the habit of doing things based on rational thinking. These attitudes are as
follows:
1. Independent thinking: thinking for yourself
2. Fair mind: treat every point of view in an impartial and unpredictable way
3. Thinking about the greater good and not just thinking about oneself,
knowing when to think of oneself (egocentrism) and when to think or act
for the greater good (sociocentricity)
4. Intellectual humility: recognizing intellectual limitations and abilities
5. Non-judgmental: using professional ethical standards and not basing
judgments on personal or moral standards
6. Integrity: Be honest and demonstrate strong moral principles
7. Perseverance: Persist in doing things even if it is difficult
8. Belief: Believe in yourself to complete a task or activity
9. Interest in exploring thoughts and feelings: Want to explore different ways
of knowing
10. Curiosity: Asking "why" and wanting to know more
Clinical reasoning is defined as, "A complex cognitive process that uses formal
and informal thinking strategies to collect and analyze patient information,
evaluate the importance of this information, and weigh alternative course of
action. The purpose of critical thinking is to make a good judgment about the
care provided to the patient. Nurses must have alternatives in action, weigh
each action based on evidence, and be able to choose the best course of action
that benefits the patient and family. The ability to reason clinically develops
over time and is based on a person's knowledge and experience (Aung et al.,
2016).
Inductive and deductive reasoning are critical thinking skills that help nurses
make clinical judgments in the nursing process (Sitanggang, 2019). The
reasoning process involves cues, making generalizations, and making
hypotheses, making it possible to also make data that is beyond the expected
findings, this is what gives the nurse clues or indications of potential problems
or conditions of the patient (Puji, n.d.; Sitanggang, 2019). The nurse organizes
these cues into patterns and creates generalizations. A judgment is formed from
a series of facts, cues, and observations and is similar to putting together pieces
of a puzzle of an image into a pattern until the whole picture becomes clearer.
Based on generalizations made from data patterns, nurses make hypotheses
about patient problems. This tries to explain the "why" behind the problem that
occurs. If the "why" is identified, then solutions can begin to be explored.
No one can draw conclusions without first paying attention to the cues. Paying
attention to the patient, the environment, and interactions with family members
is essential for inductive reasoning When nurses work to improve inductive
reasoning begins by first paying attention to details about things around the
nurse. A nurse is similar to a detective looking for cues in a picture. Nurses
need strong inductive reasoning patterns and can take action quickly, especially
in emergency situations. They can see how certain objects or events form
generalized patterns that indicate a common problem, i.e., hypotheses.
1.5 Nursing Process
The nursing process is a model of critical thinking based on a systematic
approach to patient-centered care (Nursing, 2003). Nurses use the nursing
process to perform clinical reasoning and make clinical judgments when
providing patient care. The nursing process is based on the Professional
Nursing Practice Standards set by the American Nurses Association (ANA)
internationally. These standards are authoritative statements of the actions and
behaviors expected to be performed by all registered nurses, regardless of role,
population, specialty, and setting, which are expected to perform competently
(Aung et al., 2016; Nursing, 2003). The nursing process is an ongoing process,
adapting to the patient's current health status.
1.6 Rating
The Standard Practice "Assessment" is defined as, "Registered nurses collect
data and information related to the health of healthcare consumers or their
situation (Ahtisham & Jacoline, 2015). A registered nurse uses a systematic
method to collect and analyze patient data. The assessment includes
physiological data, as well as psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual,
economic, and lifestyle data. For example, nurses' assessment of hospitalized
patients in pain includes patient responses to pain, such as inability to get out
of bed, refusal to eat, withdrawal from family members, or anger directed at
hospital staff (Nursing, 2003).
When conducting a general survey assessment, nurses use all of their senses to
observe the patient closely. They look at a patient and ask themselves, what are
they seeing? They listen to a patient and ask themselves, what do they hear,
both verbally and nonverbally? They smell the patient and ask themselves, is
there anything unusual that we need to judge further? They observe the
patient's behavior and make notes about their functions and ability to complete
daily activities according to their level of development.
Before conducting a general survey assessment, it is important to first ensure
the patient is medically stable by completing a short primary survey. After
confirming the patient's medical stability, the general survey assessment is an
overall observation of the patient's general appearance, behavior, mobility,
communication, nutrition, and fluid status in general.
The assessment of a general survey also includes an analysis of height, weight,
and vital signs for values that are out of reach and require additional follow-up.
1. Survei Primer
2. Mental Status
3. Airway and Breathing
4. Sirkulasi
5. General Appearances include:
a. Signs of pain or distress: the patient may show signs of pain or distress
that should be reported to the provider such as: grimacing, moaning, or
increased anxiety. Set priorities for your focused assessment based on
the signs of distress shown by the patient
b. Age: observe if the patient appears to be of the declared age. Chronic
diseases can cause patients to appear older than their age. Factors can
occur in older adults that can affect how well the patient can participate
in the assessment.
c. Body type can reflect nutritional status and lifestyle choices.
d. Hygiene, care, and clothing: Observe the overall cleanliness of the
patient's hair, face, and nails and watch for any odors. Odors can
indicate poor hygiene or various disease states. Validate odors by
conducting additional focused assessments as needed. Pay attention to
the appearance of the patient's clothing; Is it clean and suitable for the
season? Otherwise, the findings may reflect the patient's cognitive
abilities, emotional state, and ability to complete daily activities.
6. Behaviour
7. Mobility
8. Communication
9. Nutritional Status
10. Liquid Status
11. Height, Weight and BMI.
1.7 Diagnosis
Standard Practice "Diagnosis" is defined as registered nurses analyzing
assessment data to determine actual or potential diagnoses, problems, and
problems (Kaveevivitchai et al., 2009; Taylor et al., 2020). A nursing diagnosis
is a clinical assessment of a nurse's response to an actual or potential health
condition or need. Nursing diagnosis is the basis for a nurse's care plan and is
different from a medical diagnosis (Bradford et al., 2021).
1.8 Result Identification
The Standard Practice "Identification of Outcomes" is defined as, "Registered
nurses identify the expected outcomes for an individualized plan with the
health care consumer or the situation (Setyaningsih et al., 2020; Wahidah,
2018). Nurses set measurable and achievable short-term and long-term goals
and specific outcomes in collaboration with patients based on their nursing
assessment and diagnosis data.
1.9 Planning
The Standard Practice "Planning" is defined as, "Registered nurses develop a
collaborative plan that includes strategies to achieve the expected outcomes.
Assessment, diagnosis, and goal data are used to select evidence-based nursing
interventions tailored to each patient's needs and concerns. Objectives,
expected outcomes, and nursing interventions are documented in the patient's
nursing care plan so that nurses, as well as other health professionals, have
access to them for continuity of care (Aung et al., 2016; Department of Health,
2014).
1.10 Nursing Care Plan
Creating a nursing care plan is part of the "Planning" step of the nursing
process, is a type of documentation that shows the individual planning and
delivery of nursing care for each particular patient using the nursing process.
Nurses create nursing care plans so that the care provided to patients across
shifts is consistent among healthcare workers. Nursing care plans are
developed by nurses and in their implementation can be delegated
appropriately.
1.11 Implementation
The Standard Practice of "Implementation" is defined as, "Nurses implement
the identified plan (Ackley et al., 2017). Nursing interventions are
implemented or delegated with supervision in accordance with the care plan to
ensure continuity of care in some nurses and health professionals caring for
patients. The intervention is also documented in the patient's electronic medical
record as they are completed. The "Implementation" Professional Practice
Standards also include the subcategories "Care Coordination" and "Health
Teaching and Health Promotion" to promote health and a safe environment.
1.12 Evaluation
The Standard Practice of "Evaluation" is defined as, "Registered nurses
evaluate progress toward achieving goals and outcomes (Mobley et al., 1978).
During the evaluation, nurses assess patients and compare findings with initial
assessments to determine the effectiveness of the intervention and overall
nursing care plan. Both patient status and the effectiveness of nursing care
must be continuously evaluated and modified as needed (Kurniasari & Astuti,
2015; Nurcahyati et al., 2021).
1.13 Benefits of Using the Nursing Process
Using the nursing process has many benefits for nurses, patients, and other
healthcare team members. The benefits of using the nursing process include:
1. Promotes quality patient care
2. Reduce omissions and duplication
3. Provide guidance for all staff involved to provide consistent and responsive
care
4. Encourage collaborative management of patient healthcare issues
5. Improving patient safety
6. Improves patient satisfaction
7. Identify the patient's goals and strategies to achieve them
8. Increase the likelihood of achieving a positive patient outcome
9. Save time, energy, and frustration by creating a maintenance plan or path to
follow
Using these components of the nursing process as a critical thinking model,
nurses plan interventions tailored to the patient's needs, plan outcomes and
interventions, and determine whether the measures are effective in meeting the
patient's needs. Any component of this nursing process that implements
evidence-based practices is referred to as "the science of nursing.
ROLES, FUNCTIONS AND COMPETENCIES OF
NURSES
2.1 Introduction
Currently, the world of nursing is growing. Nurses are considered as one of the
health professions that must be involved in achieving health development goals
both in the world and in Indonesia.Along with the passage of time and the
increasing need for health services, nurses today demand that nurses have
knowledge and skills in various fields. Nowadays nurses have a wider role
with an emphasis on health improvement and disease prevention, also looking
at clients comprehensively. Nurses perform functions in relation to the various
roles of caregivers, clinical and ethical decision-makers, protectors and
advocates for clients, case managers, rehabilitators, communicators and
educators.
As a nursing care provider, nurses help clients regain their health through the
healing process. Nurses focus care on the client's health needs holistically,
including efforts to restore emotional, spiritual and social health. Caregivers
provide assistance to clients and clients' families using minimal energy and
time. In addition, in their role as a nursing care provider, nurses provide care
by paying attention to the state of basic human needs needed through the
provision of nursing services using the nursing process so that nursing
diagnoses can be determined so that appropriate actions can be planned and
implemented in accordance with the level of basic human needs, then the level
of development can be evaluated. The provision of nursing care is carried out
from simple to complex.
Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 004 of
2014 states that the health education strategy must be strengthened with the
right methods and media (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia,
2014). The role of a nursing care provider is the most important role for a
nurse. Professional nurses who can provide nursing care well and skillfully will
build a better image of nursing in the eyes of the public. Currently, vocational
nurses still dominate nursing practice in hospitals and other health care
settings. It is undeniable that vocational nurses have good application skills in
practicing nursing. However, vocational nurses have more limited theoretical
knowledge when compared to professional nurses. With the increasing number
of professional nurses today, it is hoped that it can complement the
competencies possessed by vocational nurses (Sunaryo, 2016). A professional
nurse must understand the theoretical basis in practicing nursing. This
theoretical foundation will be very useful for professional nurses when
explaining the purpose and purpose of the nursing care provided rationally to
the client.
2.2 Role of Nurses
Nurses are those who have the ability and authority to carry out nursing actions
based on the knowledge they have obtained through nursing education. A
person is said to be a professional nurse if he has knowledge, professional
nursing skills and has a professional attitude according to the professional code
of ethics.
A role is a set of behaviors that others expect of a person according to their
position in a system. The role is influenced by social conditions both from
within and from outside and is stable (Kusnanto, 2014). So the role of nurses is
a way to declare the activities of nurses in practice, who have completed their
formal education, are recognized and given the authority by the government to
carry out nursing duties and responsibilities professionally in accordance with
their professional code of ethics. The roles possessed by a nurse include the
role of an implementer, the role of an educator, the role of a manager, and the
role of a researcher (Asmadi, 2017). In carrying out nursing care, nurses have
roles and functions as nurses, including care providers, as family advocates,
disease prevention, education, counseling, collaboration, ethical decision-
makers and researchers (Hidayat, 2012)
2.2.1 Types of Nurse Roles
In carrying out nursing, according to Hidayat (2012), nurses have the following
roles and functions as nurses:
1. Care Giver
The main role of nurses is to provide nursing services, as nurses, the
provision of nursing services can be done by meeting the needs of
sharpening, loving and nurturing. Examples of nursing care include actions
that help the client physically and psychologically while maintaining the
dignity of the client. The nursing measures needed can be total care, partial
care for patients with partial dependency and supportive-educative care to
help the client achieve the highest possible level of health and well-being
(Berman, 2010). Effective nursing planning for patients treated should be
based on the identification of the needs of the patient and family.
2. As a family advocate
In addition to performing the main duties in caregiving, nurses are also
able to act as family advocates as family defenders in several ways, such as
in determining their rights as clients. In this role, nurses can represent the
needs and expectations of clients to other health professionals, such as
conveying the client's wishes regarding information about his or her illness
that the doctor is aware of. Nurses also help clients get their rights and help
patients express their wishes (Berman, 2010).
3. Disease prevention
Prevention efforts are part of the form of nursing services so that every
nursing care must always prioritize preventive measures against the
emergence of new problems as a result of the disease or problems suffered.
One of the most significant examples is safety, because each age group is
at risk of certain types of injuries, preventive counseling can help prevent
many injuries, thereby significantly reducing the rate of permanent
disability and mortality due to injury in patients (Wong, 2009).
4. Educators
In providing nursing care to patients, nurses must be able to play the role of
educators, because some messages and ways to change behavior in patients
or families must always be carried out with health education, especially in
nursing. Through this education, it is sought that patients no longer
experience the same disorders and can change unhealthy behavior. An
example of the role of nurses as educators is that the overall goal of patient
and outpatient counseling is to minimize patient and family stress, teach
them about therapy and nursing care in hospitals, and ensure families can
provide appropriate care at home when they return home (Kyle & Carman,
2015).
5. Counseling
Counseling is an effort by nurses in carrying out their roles by providing
time to consult on problems experienced by patients and families, these
various problems are expected to be overcome quickly and it is also hoped
that there will be no gap between nurses, families and patients themselves.
Counseling involves providing emotional, intellectual and psychological
support. In this case, nurses provide counseling, especially to healthy
individuals with normal self-adjustment difficulties and focus on making
the individual to develop new attitudes, feelings and behaviors by
encouraging clients to seek alternative behaviors, regarding available
options and develop a sense of self-control (Berman, 2010).
6. Collaboration
Collaboration is an act of cooperation in determining the actions that will
be carried out by nurses with other health teams. Patient nursing services
are not carried out independently by the nursing team but must involve
other health teams such as doctors, nutritionists, psychologists and others,
considering that patients are complex individuals or who need attention in
development (Hidayat, 2012).
7. Ethical decision-making
In making decisions, nurses have a very important role because nurses are
always in contact with patients approximately 24 hours a day, always next
to patients, so the role of care as ethical decision-makers can be carried out
by nurses, such as carrying out nursing service actions (Wong, 2009).
8. Researchers
This nurse role is very important that all patient nurses must have. As a
nurse researcher, she must conduct a study of patient nursing, which can be
developed for the development of nursing technology. The role of nurses as
researchers can be carried out in improving the quality of patient nursing
services (Hidayat, 2012).
The role of nurses in providing comprehensive nursing care as an effort to
provide comfort and satisfaction to patients, includes:
1. Caring, is an attitude of caring, respecting, respecting others, meaning
paying attention and learning about someone's likes and how people think
and act.
2. Sharing means that nurses always share experiences and knowledge or
discuss with their patients.
3. Laughing, meaning that a smile is the main capital for a nurse to increase
the patient's sense of comfort.
4. Crying means that nurses can receive emotional responses from both
patients and other nurses as a normal thing in times of joy or sorrow.
5. Touching means that physical and psychological touch is a sympathetic
communication that has meaning.
6. Helping Means nurse ready help with nursing care.
7. Believing in others means that nurses believe that others have the desire
and ability to always improve their health.
8. Learning means that nurses are always learning and developing themselves
and their skills.
9. Respecting means showing respect and appreciation for others by
maintaining the patient's confidentiality to those who do not have the right
to know.
10. Listening means wanting to hear the complaints of their patients.
11. Feeling means that the nurse can receive, feel, and understand the patient's
feelings of grief, joy, frustration, and satisfaction.
2.3 Nurse Functions
The function of nurses in conducting assessments on healthy and sick
individuals where all activities carried out are useful for health recovery based
on the knowledge they have, these activities are carried out in various ways to
restore patient independence as quickly as possible in the form of a nursing
process consisting of the assessment stage, problem identification (nursing
diagnosis), planning, implementation and evaluation.
Gartinah, et al. stated that in nursing practice, nurses perform the following
functions:
1. As a perpetrator or provider of nursing care directly to patients using the
nursing process.
2. As patient advocates, nurses function as a liaison between patients and the
rest of the health team, advocating for the interests of patients and assisting
clients in understanding all the information and health efforts provided.
The role of advocacy also requires nurses to act as resource persons and
facilitators in decision-making on health efforts that must be undertaken by
patients or their families.
3. As patient educators, nurses help patients improve their health through the
imparting of knowledge related to nursing and medical procedures so that
patients and their families can receive it.
4. As coordinators, nurses utilize all available resources and potentials in a
coordinated manner.
5. As collaborators, nurses work closely with other health teams and families
in determining plans and implementation of nursing care to meet the health
of patients.
6. As a reformer, nurses innovate in the way they think, behave, behave and
improve the skills of patients or families to be healthy.
7. As a manager, nurses organize activities in an effort to achieve the
expected goals, namely the fulfillment of basic satisfaction and satisfaction
of nurses doing their duties.
In nursing practice, the functions of nurses consist of three as follows:
1. Independent Function
It is an independent function and does not depend on others, namely nurses
in carrying out their duties are carried out by themselves with their own
decisions in carrying out actions in order to meet basic human needs such
as the fulfillment of physiological needs (fulfillment of oxygenation needs,
fulfillment of fluid and electrolyte needs, fulfillment of nutritional needs,
fulfillment of activity needs and others), fulfillment of needs and comfort,
fulfillment of love needs, fulfillment of self-esteem and self-actualization
needs.
2. Dependent Function
It is the function of nurses in carrying out their activities on messages or
instructions from other nurses. So that as an act of delegation of tasks
given. This is usually done by specialist nurses to general nurses, or from
primary nurses to managing nurses.
3. Interdependent Function
This function is carried out in a group of teams that are interdependent with
each other. This function can occur if the form of service requires
teamwork in providing services such as in providing nursing care to
patients with complex diseases. This situation cannot be overcome by the
nurse team alone but also by doctors or others, such as doctors in providing
treatment actions in collaboration with nurses in monitoring the reaction of
the drugs that have been given.
2.4 Nurse Competencies
2.4.1 Nurse Competency Standards
Standards are defined as agreed measures or benchmarks, while competence
can be interpreted as a person's ability to be observed covering knowledge,
skills and attitudes in completing a job or task with set performance standards.
Nurse competency standards reflect the competencies expected to be possessed
by individuals who will work in the field of nursing services. Facing the era of
globalization, these standards must be equivalent to standards that apply to the
health industry sector in other countries and can be applied internationally.
Competency standards are prepared with the following objectives:
1. For nursing education and training institutions;
a. Providing information and references for the development of nursing
education programs and curriculums
b. Providing information and references for the development of nursing
training programs and curriculums
2. For the business world/health industry and users, as a reference in:
a. Determination of job descriptions for nursing staff.
b. Recruitment of nurses.
c. Performance evaluation
d. Development of specific training programs
3. For institutions that provide testing and certification of nurses, as a
reference in formulating certification program packages according to
qualifications and types.
2.4.2 Systematics of Nurse Competency Standards
The Nurse Competency Standard consists of 5 (five) competency areas derived
from the description of the duties, roles, and functions of nurses. The
competency area is also an adaptation of the 5 (five) domains of the ASEAN
Nursing Common Core Competencies which are agreed upon by all ASEAN
member countries. Each area of competence is defined by its definition, which
is then elaborated into several competency components.
Schematically, the systematics of the Nurse Competency Standards is described
as follows:
Figure 2.1: Systematics of Nurse Competency Standards
The Nurse Competency Standards are equipped with subject matter, a list of
problems, a list of diagnoses, and a list of nursing skills, with the following
description:
The List of Subject Matter contains the types of knowledge according to the
branches of knowledge needed to fulfill the competencies of vocational nurses
and nurse professions.
The Problem List contains problems that are often found in Nursing Practice
that underlie the need for Nursing Services. This list is necessary to train and
familiarize students.
Nursing recognizes the problems that will be faced in Nursing Practice by
making the list a trigger for discussion in the Nursing education process.
The Diagnosis List contains Nursing Diagnoses that refer to the Indonesian
Nursing Diagnosis Standards (SDKI). This list is needed to assist nursing
educational institutions in the preparation of teaching materials and skills
training to achieve the competency standards of nurses.
The Skills List contains nursing interventions that refer to the Indonesian
Nursing Intervention Standards (SIKI). This list is necessary for the
formulation of forms, mechanisms, health facilities, and means of supporting
skills needed to meet the competency standards of Nurses.
2.4.3 Nurse Competency Standards
1. Areas of Competence
Nursing is a synthesis of biomedical, psychological, social, behavioral,
anthropology, and cultural sciences. Quality nursing services/care for the
community need to be guaranteed competency standards. Nurse
Competencies include knowledge, attitudes and skills (soft and hard skills).
The Nurse competency framework is grouped into 5 (five) competency
areas. This area corresponds to the 5 (five) domains of the ASEAN Nursing
Common Core Competencies as follows:
a. Ethical, Legal, and Culturally Sensitive Practices
b. Professional Nursing Practice

CONCEPT OF HEALTHY SICK
3.1 Introduction
Individuals have different reactions to the symptoms of the disease/health
problems experienced. The reaction is greatly influenced by the understanding
and belief in his health problems. This behavioral reaction is a manifestation of
different concepts regarding health and illness. Because each individual must
have a different concept. This will be proven by how the individual's behavior
takes action in solving the health problems he is experiencing.
3.2 Public Health Concepts
Public health is a series of efforts aimed at nourishing a group/the entire
population with a prevention and/or improvement orientation, carried out
cross-sectorally or cross-program, also involving the community and well
organized (Achmadi, 2014).
A group of individuals in society or the community itself needs to be equipped
with an understanding of the concept of healthy illness because understanding
this is the basis for the formation of community behavior to make efforts to
prevent and control infectious or non-communicable diseases.
3.3 Behavioral Concepts
Health behavior is an action taken by a person to maintain or achieve health or
prevent disease.
According to Notoatmodjo (2012), health behavior is a person's effort to
maintain health so that illness does not occur and an effort to heal.
3.3.1 Behavioral Domain
Behavior is divided into three domains, namely cognitive, affective and
psychomotor. Cognitive is measured from a person's knowledge of something
that is being studied or will be learned.
Knowledge or often said cognitive is the most important thing in the formation
of a person's behavior. This is a psychological encouragement in fostering
attitudes and behaviors every day, and can be said to be a stimulation of one's
actions/behaviors.
Attitudes are different from behavior, and behavior does not necessarily reflect
a person's attitude. Attitudes can change as information about what is learned
increases, through persuasion and encouragement from their social group.
Health behavior is a person's response to stimuli related to illness and disease,
the health service system, food and beverages, and the environment.
Nutritional behavior is one of the tangible forms of health maintenance.
Because food and drink are things that can maintain and improve a person's
health, but it can be the opposite, namely a decrease in a person's health. And it
is very closely related to behavior.
So behavior change is said to be successful if a person carries out the process
of change cognitively, there will also be a change in attitude and behavior. This
is in accordance with the research of Tria, Fauza, Inne and Zahrofa (2021),
there has been an increase in knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding
nutrition of pregnant women after health education.
3.3.2 Factors of Behavior Formation Factors
1. Predisposing factors are manifested in knowledge, attitudes, beliefs,
traditions, beliefs, values and so on. Those related to health, the value
system adhered to, the level of education, socio-economics and so on.
2. Enabling factors, which manifest in the physical environment, the
availability or unavailability of health facilities or facilities: Health centers,
medicines, contraceptives, latrines; human resources.
3. Reinforcing factors, which are manifested in the attitudes and behaviors of
health workers or other officers, which are the supporting groups of
community behavior. Such as community leaders, religious leaders,
regulations and laws.
3.4 Concept of healthy sick
3.4.1 Definition of Healthy and Sick
WHO provides healthy limits, which is a state of well-being both physically,
mentally and socially as a whole and that is not only free from diseases and
disabilities. Healthy is meant here to be physical, emotional, and social health.
3.4.2 Public Health Degree Factor
Four factors affect the health status of the community:
1. Milieu
a. Physical environment: garbage, water, housing and others
b. Social environment: education, economy, culture
c. Biological environment: animals, plants, crushed bodies
2. Behaviour
A habit of the community. The health of the environment and family
depends on behavior.
3. Service
This can be decisive in health recovery, disease prevention, and health care
services. And it is also influenced by the location or distance to the health
service place, human resources, information on the suitability between
health service programs and community needs.
4. Descendents.
Factors that have existed and are carried from birth. If there is a family that
has the disease, it is likely to be passed on genetically to the family.
Figure 3.1: Factors affecting public health status
(Achamdi, 2017)
3.4.3 Concept of illness based on Trias Epidemiology
The image above explains how the relationship between the three
interconnected elements is concerned. What is meant by Host is a
person/individual in a family, community. The agent is the seed of disease,
while the environment is the environment. The three elements must be in
balance. If there is an imbalance, health problems will arise.
The first element here is the Host. The specifics of the host here are the
family's understanding of the importance of prevention that must be carried out
regularly, the ability of the family to carry out early detection of the problems
experienced, and the preparedness of the community in recognizing the level of
risk of health problems and the efforts made. The host here is the first element
that is easily influenced by agents through an unhealthy environment.
Figure 3.2: Triassic Epidemiological Model (Ewen, 2015)
The second element is the agent. This includes germs, viruses, or other
chemicals through vectors or intermediates that depend on the characteristics
of the agent, the nature and cycle of the agent. The absence of agents or the
absence of agents will determine the status of public health.
The third element is the environment inside the house or outside the house,
including buildings or public places. A bad or less good environment will be a
breeding ground for agents in causing diseases. Such as standing water inside
the house or outside the house that is at risk of mosquito development.
Interactions in conditions of imbalance such as; The increase in the ability of
agents due to unclean and unhealthy environmental conditions results in a
decrease in the endurance of the Host so that health problems arise. Hosts as
humans have an important role in modifying causative agents and the
environment through a variety of specific preventions.
3.4.4 Interaction of Healthy Ranges of Pain
1. Family efforts in health promotion
According to Campbell, (2000); Doherty, (1992) in Friedman (2010), said
that the family plays an important role in all forms of health promotion and
risk reduction to the cause of problems in the family. This statement is
supported in Kaakinen (2010), one of the causes of obesity and overweight
is nutrition fulfillment behavior and family activities.
Health improvement and disease prevention activities start from choosing a
family lifestyle. For example: father's habit of eating carelessly without
paying attention to excess weight and having hereditary factors of DM
disease.
The family is a source of health problems for their family members.
Therefore, health promotion starts from the family. The purpose of the
health promotion is to improve the lifestyle of all family members.
Health promotion includes consuming a balanced diet, immunizations,
activities and exercises (exercise), pregnancy check-ups, etc.
2. Family assessment of symptoms of illness.
This second stage, starting from the symptoms of the disease in family
members is known, then the severity is estimated, then looking for the
cause and how the disease affects oneself and family.
Figure 3.3: Stages of assessment of pain symptoms (Friedman, 2010)
This assessment stage is also influenced by socio-economic factors. Families
that have less economic factors will usually respond less to the symptoms
experienced by family members. It will be different from families who have
economic factors above average, who often do medical check-ups before the
onset of disease symptoms.
3. Treatment search
This third stage begins when the family is really sick and needs help or
help.
The sick family begins to seek information, advice from other family
members or friends related to the problem experienced. As a result of the
search for information, the advice was discussed with all family members
to find alternative actions to be taken. Whether it is necessary to carry out
treatment at home or need health services.
Families in Indonesia, often when they experience ordinary illnesses such
as coughing and cold, their fever is not brought to health services. Families
usually provide stall medicine or traditional medicine, but if the disease is
severe or does not heal within 3 days, they are immediately taken to health
services. Sometimes, families also look for alternative services such as
cupping,
GURAH.
4. Get treatment and get referrals.
This fourth stage begins when the family has interacted with health
services or traditional medicine practices.
Usually, the determination of the choice of the place where the treatment is
carried out is determined by a mother. Mothers who often get information
from their colleagues or through the mass media.
The determination of treatment is influenced by 4 factors, namely funding,
ease of access to health services, acceptance and adequacy (quality) of
services.
5. Acute response of families and clients to illness.
The acute response here is how the family treats the sick. The treatment of
sick people depends on the type of disease, the severity.
The role of sick family members becomes the role of the sick person (the
role of the sick). When being a sick person, having a full dependence on
the person who provides the service.
Some families usually release sick family members, and their roles are
replaced by others.
For example: A mother is sick, who does housework every day. The role
can be temporarily replaced by a father or grandmother who lives with the
family.
6. Adaptation to healing and the disease experienced. The adaptation referred
to here is when the family comes to health services or nurses in dealing
with health problems.
Each health problem has a different impact, depending on whether the
disease is serious or not. Usually nurses are asked for advice at this stage,
if the impact of the problem experienced is severe or the problem becomes
widespread.
In this stage, it is necessary to consider whether the sick family can still
carry out their activities as before the illness or maximize their existing
abilities. It is also influenced by who and the role borne by the sick. The
family has a very important role in the recovery and rehabilitation of the
family.
3.5 Health prevention approach
3.5.1 Primary Prevention
It is an activity that aims to prevent the occurrence of illness, by reducing
exposure to vulnerable individuals. This prevention has 2 elements, namely:
health promotion and specific protection.
The health promotion in question is an effort to increase resilience factors,
protection and have a healthy population target.
For example: the promotion of good nutrition, the provision of adequate
housing and regular exercise.
Special protection efforts by reducing or eliminating risk factors from the
target. For example: immunization, water purification.
3.5.2 Secondary Prevention
Focuses on early detection and immediate intervention during the pathogenesis
period of the disease. It is done after the problem has occurred but no signs of
symptoms have appeared, and populations that have risk factors are targeted in
this area. For example: blood pressure checks, blood sugar tests, pap smears.
3.5.3 Tertiary Prevention
Populations that already experience health problems, and focus on disability
restrictions and rehabilitation. The goal is to prevent health problems from
getting worse, as well as reduce the effects of the disease; injury and restore to
optimal function.
Examples: teaching individuals or families who have diabetes to take injections
(insulin), educating families and sick people to manage diabetes, referring to
physiotherapists/doctors who have bone injuries.
NURSING SERVICES
4.1 Introduction
The concept of service is a product produced by an organization, either in the
form of goods or services. Services can be offered and can produce something
that is not promising but can be enjoyed or felt (Triwibowo, 2013). The
characteristics of the service are as follows: a. Intangibility (Intangible)
Services have an intangible, intangible, invisible, inaudible, smelled before
being purchased by the consumer. Inseparibility (inseparable) Service can be
produced and felt at the same time. Services can be produced and consumed at
the same time. c. Variability Services are on-standardized and always undergo
changes d. Parishability (not durable) Services do not last long and cannot be
stored (Triwibowo 2013).
According to Law Number 38 of 2014, the definition of nursing is the activity
of providing care to individuals, families, groups, or communities, whether in a
sick or healthy state. Nurses develop nursing care plans, working closely with
doctors, therapists, patients, patients' families and other teams to focus on
disease care and improving quality of life.
Nurses work in most specialties where they work independently or as part of a
team to assess, plan, implement and evaluate care.
Nursing services are efforts to help individuals, both sick and healthy, from
birth to death in the form of knowledge, willingness, and abilities. So that the
individual can carry out daily activities independently and optimally
(Yulihastin, 2009). Meanwhile, professional nursing services are carried out in
various health service settings, reaching all groups and levels of society in
need, both in the health service order in the community, and in the hospital
service order (Kusnanto, 2009).
Nursing services are developed in stages ranging from basic nursing to nursing
that is complicated or specialized or even subspecialized, accompanied by a
nursing referral system as part of an effective and efficient health referral.
Specialized nursing services/care, both clinical and community nursing,
include pediatric nursing, maternity nursing, medical surgical nursing,
psychiatric nursing, emergency nursing, family nursing, gerontic nursing, and
community nursing. Simultaneously develop professional nursing management
skills with professional nursing leadership, so that nursing can develop in
accordance with the rules of nursing as a profession (Kusnanto, 2009).
4.2 Theory of Nursing Services
The quality of nursing services is a statement that has been commonly used,
both by the academic life environment and in daily life. Although its meaning
can generally be felt and understood by anyone, quality as a concept or
understanding, has not been widely understood by people and in fact the
meaning of quality itself is not the same for people. Each person or society will
define that quality according to opinions and needs that may differ from others
(Imbalo, 2007). A thorough description and characteristics of the goods or
services, demonstrating their ability to satisfy specified or implied needs. The
product or service in question is: comfortable to use, satisfying the patient,
according to the patient's expectations, available and on time, and cheap.
4.2.1 Nursing Service Perspective
Perspective of Nursing Services According to (Karunia, 2011) various
viewpoints regarding the definition of nursing services include: Patient's
Perspective (individual, family and community) according to Meishenheimer
(2001) in Karunia (2011), explains that patients or patients' families define
quality as the presence of nurses or health workers who provide skilled care
and the ability of nurses to provide care. Meanwhile, Wijoyo (2000) in Karunia
(2011), explained that service quality means empathy, respect and
responsiveness to their needs, service must be in accordance with their needs,
provided in a friendly way when they visit.
In general, they want services that effectively reduce symptoms and prevent
disease, so that patients and their families are healthy and able to carry out
their daily tasks without physical disturbances. Based on the definitions above,
it can be said that the quality of nursing services is defined by patients
(individuals, families, communities) as the implementation of nursing services
that are in accordance with their needs based on the empathy, appreciation,
responsiveness, and friendliness of nurses as well as the ability of nurses to
provide services. In addition, through these nursing services, it can also result
in an improvement in the patient's health degree. Nurse's Perspective where
quality is based on the nurse's point of view is often interpreted by providing
nursing services according to the patient's needs in order to become
independent or free from their illness ((Meishenheimer, 2001) in (Karunia,
2011)). Another opinion was put forward by Wijoyo (2000) in Karunia (2011),
that service quality means the freedom to do everything professionally to
improve the health status of patients and society in accordance with advanced
science and skills, good service quality and meeting good standards. Thus, it
can be said that nurses as professionals who provide nursing services to
patients define the quality of nursing services as the ability to provide
professional nursing care to patients (individuals, families, communities) and
in accordance with nursing standards, the development of science and
technology. Nursing Manager's Viewpoint where the quality of service is
focused on good staff, patient and community management by carrying out
supervision, financial and logistics management properly and appropriate
allocation of resources.
Nursing services require good management so that nursing managers have an
important role in improving the quality of nursing services by carrying out
management functions well that focus on managing nursing staff and patients
as individuals, families and communities. In addition, management also
includes financial management and logistics. According to Meishenheimer
(2001) in Karunia (2011), the quality of service is assumed to be the ability to
survive, important considerations include the type and quality of staff to
provide services, the institution's accountability for inappropriate patient care,
and analyzing the financial impact on the institution's operations.
Based on the description above, the definition of nursing service quality from
the perspective of the service institution is the implementation of the
effectiveness and efficiency of services including in terms of manpower,
equipment, operational costs, and service time. The effectiveness and
efficiency of the service is supported by improving the quality of its staff,
besides that hospitals are also required to have responsibility for nursing
services that have a negative impact on patients.
Factors that affect nursing services According to Supranto (2006), the factors
that affect the quality of services are:
1. Reliability The ability to provide services accurately as promised.
2. Responsiveness The ability to help consumers provide services quickly as
desired.
3. Assurance The knowledge and courtesy of employees and their ability to
generate trust and confidence or assurance.
4. Emphaty (empathy) Employees must pay attention individually to
consumers and understand consumer needs.
5. Tangibles (reality/tangible) The appearance of physical facilities, personal
equipment and communication media.
6. The cost of expensive treatment and the limited information that patients
and families have about the treatment they receive can be their complaints.
7. High Personal Contact (communication Understanding the use of services
about the services that he will receive, in this case the communication
aspect plays an important role.
In addition, according to Nursalam (2002), the success of service activities to
ensure the quality of nursing services is influenced by various factors, namely:
1. Knowledge factor Knowledge is the result of knowing and this occurs after
people sense humans generally obtained through the eyes and ears
(Notoatmodjo, 2003) Knowledge can be measured by interviews or
questionnaires to respondents about the content of the material being
measured. In the knowledge that is to be measured, it is adjusted to the
level of kignitive knowledge (Notoatmodjo, 2003). The knowledge of
nurses to nursing service quality assurance activities is an activity of
assessing, monitoring or regulating patient-oriented services (Nurachmah,
2001).
2. Workload factor Work is a form of activity that aims to get satisfaction and
this activity involves both physical and mental activity. Workload is a
condition or circumstance that is burdensome on the achievement of
activities to carry out activities. The workload of nurses is high and diverse
with the demands of work institutions in achieving the expected quality of
service.
3. Communication factor Communication is something to be able to compose
and deliver a message in an easy way so that others can understand and
receive it (Nursalam, 2002). Communication in professional nursing
practice is the main element for nurses in carrying out nursing services to
achieve optimal results. The factors that affect the implementation of
therapeutic communication include: Education, length of work, knowledge,
attitudes, psychological conditions.
4.2.2 Quality of Nursing Services
The quality of nursing services is a quality related to the provision of nursing,
which must be available, acceptable, comprehensive, sustainable and
documentable. Quality is related to the dimension of officers' responsiveness to
patients, concerns, and hospitality of officers in serving patients who are in the
healing period (Triwibowo, 2013).
Dimension of nursing service quality Five main dimensions in the quality of
nursing services:
1. Reliability (Reability) Reliability is the ability to provide appropriate and
reliable service. Trusted service is competent and consistent service.
Service has two aspects, namely appropriate and accurate service (Asmuji,
2016). Providing accurate services, not making mistakes and delivering
services according to the agreed time. This dimension can be seen from the
ability of the therapist to provide services and be friendly and ready to help
patients.
2. Responsiveness is the willingness of nurses to serve consumers quickly,
namely the service must be responsive to consumers. Communication and
the surrounding physical situation are things that must be considered
(Asmuji, 2016). The willingness of nurses and the ability of nurses to help
and respond to patient requests, as well as providing information about
when services are carried out and providing services quickly (Triwibowo,
2013). Nurses are expected to provide health services in a timely manner
according to the set time (Muninjaya, 2015)
3. Assurance Guarantee is an activity to ensure certainty of the services
provided to consumers. To guarantee. Certainty of nurses must be armed
with knowledge, attitudes, and abilities to provide a sense of trust and
confidence in the services provided (Asmuji, 2016). Nurses are able to
foster patient trust in nurses, as well as create a sense of security and
comfort for patients (Triwibowo, 2013). This criterion is related to
knowledge, politeness and the nature of officers who can be trusted by
users, this is related to the factors of friendliness, competence, credibility
and security applied (Muninjaya, 2015)
4. Empathy Empathy is the provision of full service and individual attention
to consumers, listening to consumer complaints, fostering relationships of
mutual trust are examples of empathy. Nurses can understand patient
problems and take actions according to the patient's interests, provide
personal attention and have comfortable operating hours. This is related to
the factor of special concern and attention of staff to each service user,
understanding their needs and providing ease of communication
5. Physical Evidence (Tangibles) Physical evidence is any type of service that
can be directly felt by consumers, and enjoyed through the sense of sight,
the tangible form can be in the form of hygiene facilities, availability,
equipment, appearance, and communication that are directly obtained by
consumers Related to the physical appearance, completeness and neatness
of nurses in providing services. The quality of service can be felt directly
by its users by providing adequate physical facilities and equipment
(Muninjaya, 2015)
4.2.3 Nursing Services/Care
Specialized nursing services, both clinical nursing and community nursing,
include:
1. Pediatric Nursing
In providing nursing care to children, it is certainly different compared to
adults. There are many differences that must be considered and adjusted to
the age and growth and development of the child because non-optimal
treatment will have a negative impact both physiologically and
psychologically on the child himself. Nurses should pay attention to some
principles, let's study those principles. Nurses must understand and
remember some different principles in the application of pediatric nursing
care as follows:
a. Children are not miniature adults but as unique individuals, meaning
that children should not be viewed only in terms of their physical
nature but as unique individuals who have a pattern of growth and
development towards the process of maturity.
b. Children are unique individuals and have needs according to their
developmental stages. As a unique individual, children have various
needs that are different from each other according to their growth and
development. Physiological needs such as nutrients and fluids, activity,
elimination, sleep and others, while psychological, social and spiritual
needs that will be seen according to their growth and development.
c. Children's nursing services are oriented towards disease prevention
efforts and improving health degrees which aim to reduce the rate of
illness and death in children considering that children are the
successors of the nation's generation.
d. Pediatric nursing is a health discipline that focuses on children's
welfare so that nurses are comprehensively responsible for providing
child nursing care. In the welfare of children, nursing always
prioritizes the interests of children and efforts are inseparable from the
role of the family so that it always involves the family.
e. The practice of pediatric nursing includes contracts with children and
families to prevent, review, intervene and improve the welfare of life,
by using nursing processes that are in accordance with moral (ethical)
and legal aspects.
f. The goal of child and family nursing is to promote healthy maturation
or maturity for children and adolescents as biopsychosocial and
spiritual beings in the context of family and society. Children's
maturity efforts are to always pay attention to a good environment
internally and externally where a child's maturity is determined by a
good environment.
g. In the future, the tendency of pediatric nursing to focus on the science
of growth and development, because this will study aspects of
children's lives.
2. Maternity Nursing
Maternity nursing is a form of nursing professional service aimed at
women of childbearing age (WUS) related to the reproductive system,
pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, between two pregnancies and newborns
up to 40 days of age, along with their families, focusing on meeting basic
needs in adapting physically and psychosocially to achieve family welfare
by using a nursing process approach. Every individual has the right to be
born healthy, so every individual has the right to get quality health
services. Maternal nursing believes that birth events are normal physical
and psychological processes and require physical and psychosocial
adaptation from individuals and families, so that normal childbirth care is
needed (Bobak, 2004)
3. Medical Surgical Nursing
In its concept, Medical Surgical Nursing is a professional service based on
the science and techniques of Medical Surgical Nursing in the form of bio-
psycho-socio-spiritual services for adult clients to meet basic human needs
in the form of improving the abilities that exist in individuals, preventing,
repairing, and rehabilitating from a sick state by individuals. The scope of
practice of Medical Surgical Nursing is the provision of nursing care to
adult clients who experience physiological disorders due to illness, trauma
or disability. Nursing care includes treating individuals to obtain comfort,
assisting individuals in improving and maintaining their health conditions,
preventing, detecting and overcoming disease-related conditions, seeking
recovery until the client can reach his or her highest productive capacity,
and helping clients face death with dignity.
4. Psychiatric Nursing
Mental health nursing is a form of professional service that is an integral
part of health services, applying human behavior theory as a science and
therapeutic self-use as a tip.
Mental health for humans means the realization of harmony in the
functioning of the soul and being able to face problems, feel happy and be
able to be self-sufficient. A mentally healthy person means having the
ability to adjust to oneself, others, society, and the environment. Human
beings consist of bio, psycho, social, and spiritual that interact with each
other and influence each other.
5. Emergency Nursing
Emergency nursing is nursing care provided to individuals and families
who experience life-threatening conditions or tend to threaten life that
occurs suddenly (Luckman & Sorensen, 1993) The application of the
nursing process to emergency conditions as a scientific approach, in
principle is the same as in other practice fields, although there are specific
factors that affect the assessment or implementation of interventions.
Some of the influencing factors are a) time limitations; b) critical condition
of the patient; c) the possibility of the need for immediate action in another
room; d) limitations of existing data. Usually action is taken before the
assessment of Iengkap is carried out. Nursing actions are carried out based
on the main assessment. Therefore, in general, in emergency patients, a
standard nursing care plan is used which consists of two main nursing
problems.
6. Gerontic Nursing
Gerontic nursing is the practice of care related to diseases in the aging
process (Kozier, 1987) According to (Lueckenotte, 2000) gerontic nursing
is a science that studies the care of the elderly which focuses on the
assessment of health and functional status, planning, implementation and
evaluation. The scope of Gerontic Nursing Gerontic nursing care is the
prevention of disability as a result of the aging process, treatment to meet
the needs of the elderly and recovery to overcome the limitations of the
elderly. Its nature is independent (independent), interdependent
(collaboration), humanistic and holistic. Nursing specializing in caring for
the elderly was named for the first time as geriatric nursing. The name was
replaced with Gerontological. Gerontology comes from the word geros
which means elderly and logos means science. Gerontology is a science
that studies the elderly with problems that occur in the elderly which
include biological, sociological, psychological, and economic aspects.
Gerontology is a scientific approach to various aspects of the aging
process. The role of gerontic nurses can be broadly classified into two
types, namely the role in general and the role of the specialist. The role in
general is in various settings, such as hospitals, homes, nursing homes,
communities, by providing care to individuals and their families (Touhy,
2005). Nurses work in a variety of forms of service and work closely with
experts in client care from planning to evaluation. The role of specialists is
divided into two types, namely gerontological clinical nurse specialist
(CNS) and geriatric nurse practitioner (GNP). The role of CNS is direct
clinical nurses, educators, nurse managers, advocates, case management,
and researchers in planning care or improving the quality of care for
elderly clients and their families in hospital settings, long-term care
facilities, outreach programs, and independent consultants. Meanwhile, the
role of GNP is to meet the needs of clients in remote areas; intervene for
health promotion, maintain and restore the client's health status; case
management, and advocates in ambulatory clinic settings, long-term
facilities, and independent practice.
7. Community Nursing
Definition of Community Nursing Community means a group of
individuals who live in a certain area, have relatively similar values, beliefs
and interests, and interact with each other to achieve goals (Mubarak,
2005). Community nursing is a synthesis of nursing practices and public
health practices that are applied to improve and maintain the health of the
population. The target of community health nursing is individuals, namely
malnourished toddlers, high-risk pregnant women, the elderly, and people
with infectious diseases. The target family is families who are vulnerable to
health problems and priorities. The target group is a special group, a
community both healthy and sick who have health problems or treatment
(Ariani, 2018).
4.2.4 Nursing Service System
The health service system is one of the multidisciplinary structures that aims to
achieve optimal health degrees. Nursing is an integral part of the health service
system that aims to improve human welfare. Nursing services are an effort to
help individuals, both sick and healthy, from birth to death in the form of
knowledge, willingness and abilities possessed. Nursing services are needed to
assist humans in meeting their needs. The nursing services provided to
individuals are in the form of nursing care (Yulihastin, 2009). Quality health
services can be seen from the behavior and skills shown by health service
providers from the knowledge they have. Nurse behavior is the most important
thing in determining the quality of health services. Because the relationship
between health care providers is a factor that affects the healing process of
patients. The nursing profession is the spearhead of the health service itself.
Nursing staff are the most dominant human resources in hospitals. The number
of nurses ranges from 55-56% of the total human resources in the hospital.
Nurses have an important role in achieving service quality because nurses are
in charge of providing health services continuously every day for 24 hours. In
providing nursing services, it is inseparable from the arrangement of delivery
of nursing care hours, which is better known as work shifts.
Engineering Systems in the provision of nursing care The terminology about
the technical system of services has always been a debate among health
practitioners in the USA. The reason is that the engineers are not sure that it
will not be able to improve quality and productivity. A technical system is
defined as a comprehensive effort to utilize and integrate resources,
regulations, and technology of medical equipment by partnering with engineers
in evaluating service results across disciplines. Technical systems can be used
in a variety of service practices to achieve quality, efficiency, safety, and/or
patient needs-oriented processes, products and services. The health service
sector as the largest service in Indonesia is apparently too slow to implement
the technical system. Initially, in the USA the technical system did not show
optimal outcome acceptance values but almost most hospitals have utilized the
system (Fone, 2003). The health care system in Indonesia is not fully willing to
take advantage of the system for various reasons. Health services in Indonesia
are divided into various levels of service, ranging from level C to A. The
resources owned by hospitals at level C are certainly not as complete and
sophisticated as those owned by level A hospitals. The need for service quality
is not felt to be at a high level. The ability of the source of funds is also
certainly different at these various levels. Component Of Delivery System
Referring to research on several things in the provision of nursing care, he
determined five components in the provision of nursing care. These
components are position descriptions, patient escort services, evaluation
process, chart audit, communication system. Job description of nurses Each
nurse needs special instructions or information in carrying out orders in
providing care where this can be obtained through continuous skills training. In
some developed countries, team leaders are given to nurses who have
graduated from bachelor's degrees (BSN, while in Indonesia Nurses) while
team members are those who have graduated from diplomas or equivalent
(LPNs). The job description of a nurse generally consists of: (1) job description
in general, (2) job title, (3) job conditions, (4) methods and methods of salary
payment, (5) opportunities for advancement, (6) qualifications, educational
requirements, professional experience, abilities, and personal characteristics,
(7) job functions: work frequency, work period. Patient assistance services The
task of this service is to help the needs of patients so that all the programs set
can be accepted by patients. Abroad this task is done by LPNs nurses, but in
Indonesia it seems unclear. In the future, it is necessary to establish the type of
qualification for this job. The evaluation process referred to is a thorough
evaluation of the performance of nurses and an evaluation of the care process
itself. Sometimes this process is considered unimportant because nurses
(prefer) routine activities. So that the parameters of service success are not
measurable.
4.2.5 Quality of Nursing Services
Nursing Service Quality is a process of activities carried out by the nursing
profession in fulfilling the needs of patients in maintaining the patient's
biological, psychological, social, and spiritual conditions (Suarli, 2012). The
quality of nursing services is professional nursing care which refers to 5
dimensions of service quality, namely, (reability, tangibles, assurance,
responsiveness, and empathy) (Bauk, 2013). The quality of nursing services is
a service that describes the products of the nursing service itself which includes
biologically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually in sick and healthy
individuals and is carried out according to nursing standards (Asmuji, Nursing
Management: Concepts and Applications, 2012). Based on the statement of the
three theories above, it can be concluded that nursing services are service
activities or efforts that can be carried out independently or together with the
aim of meeting the needs of patients holistically.
Nursing Service Quality Objectives According to Nursamalam cit, the quality
objectives of nursing services have 5 stages, namely: a. The first stage is the
preparation of standards or criteria. It is intended that nursing care is more
structured and planned based on the standard criteria of each nurse.
b. The second stage is to identify information that meets the criteria. The
information here is expected to be more supportive in the nursing care process
and as a measure of the quality of nursing services. c. The third stage is the
identification of the source of information. In selecting accurate information,
strict and continuous selection is required. Some information is also obtained
from the patient himself. d. The fourth stage is collecting and analyzing data.
Nurses can select data from patients and then analyze them one by one. e. The
fifth stage is re-evaluation. At this stage, it serves to minimize mistakes in
decision-making in nursing care and actions.
A nursing service can be said to be good if it runs appropriately in meeting the
needs of patients. From this good service, it will create a culture of good
handling to all patients. And the highest standard of patient satisfaction will be
achieved. The quality of nursing services is a measure of the quality of health
services and is one of the determining factors for the image of health service
agencies in the community. Because nursing is one of the professions with the
highest number and the closest to patients. The quality of nursing services
itself is seen from patient satisfaction with the services provided satisfied or
dissatisfied.
4.2.6 Types of Nursing Care Methods
Professional Nursing Practice Model (MPKP) assignment method in nursing:
1. Case method
The case method is the first method of providing care used. Until World
War II, this method was the most widely used method of providing nursing
care. In this method, one nurse will provide nursing care to a client in total
in one service period. The number of clients cared for by a single nurse
depends on the nurse's abilities and the complexity of the client's needs.
(Sitorus Ratna, 2006).
2. Functional Methods
In the functional method, the provision of nursing care is emphasized on
the completion of tasks or procedures. Each nurse is given one or several
tasks to be carried out to all clients in one room (Sitorus Ratna, 2006).
In this method, the head of the room determines the duties of each nurse in
a room. The nurse will report the tasks she is doing to the head of the room
and the head of the room is responsible for making the client's report.
Functional methods may be efficient in completing tasks when the number
of nurses is small, but the client does not get the satisfaction of the care he
receives (Sitorus Ratna, 2006).
3. Team Method
The team method is a method of providing nursing care, where a
professional nurse leads a group of nursing staff in providing nursing care
to a group of clients through cooperative and collaborative efforts. The
team method is based on the belief that each group member has a
contribution in planning and providing nursing care so that it creates a high
sense of responsibility (Sitorus Ratna, 2006).
4. Primary Nurse Method
According to (Gillies, 1989) "primary nursing is a method of providing
nursing care, where there is a close and continuous relationship between
the client and a certain nurse who is responsible for planning, providing
and coordinating the client's nursing care, as long as the client is cared for."
(Sitorus Ratna, 2006). In the primary nursing method, nurses who are
responsible for providing nursing care are called primery nurses,
abbreviated as PP (Sitorus Ratna, 2006).
PATIENT SAFETY IN HOSPITALS
5.1 Introduction
Patient safety is one of the global issues in health services, including in
hospitals. Hospitals as health service agencies should ensure patient
safety while receiving/undergoing treatment in the hospital, one way to
realize patient safety guarantees in hospitals is by implementing patient
safety management correctly. Safety issues consist of five issues, namely
patient safety, health care provider safety, building and equipment that
support hospitals (building and equiptment safety), environmental safety
(green productivity), hospital business safety (business safety) The five
safety issues must be carried out in unison in a hospital, and carried out
consistently and comprehensively (Ministry of Health, 2015).
The history of patient safety dates back 2400 years, where Hippocrates
said prium non nocere (first, do no harm), which is the main principle in
health services to this day
(NHS, 2015 in Simbolon et al., 2022). Then in 1999 the issue of patient
safety reached a critical point, where IOM (Institute of Medicine), said
that at least 44,000-98,000 patients die every year due to medical errors
in America (Emsli et al, 2015 in Simbolon et al, 2022).
The incidence of patient safety accidents is like an iceberg, where the
visible numbers are only a small part of the actual incident. Based on a
report from WHO, in several countries the rate of Unexpected Events or
KTD in hospitalized patients of 3% to 16% occurs in New Zealand,
12.9% occurs in the United Kingdom, 10.8% in Canada (Basri, 2021 in
Huriati et al., 2022). Meanwhile, in Indonesia itself, the KKPRS in 2010
reported at least 145 KTD incidents occurred in the Sabang region of
Indonesia or the Aceh region by 0.68%, South Sulawesi 0.69%, Bali
1.4%, West Java 2.8%, South Sumatra 6.9%, East Java 11.7%,
Yogyakarta Special Region 13.8%, Central Java 15.9%, Jakarta 37.9%.
The results of the report are known that based on the status of hospital
ownership in 2010 in the third quarter, data was obtained that local
government hospitals had a higher percentage of 16% while private
hospital data was 12% (Basri, 2021 in Huriati et al., 2022).
The results of another study stated that Stella Maris Makassar Hospital
recorded a patient safety report in 2013 there were 13 types of patient
safety incidents that occurred in the hospital, namely wrong
administration of drugs in the pharmacy department by 16%, wrong
administration of drugs in the inpatient room by 6%, after diagnosis by
6%, misdistribution of drugs from pharmacies by 13%, Almost incorrect
drug aploss by 3%, misinterpretation by 3%, mistyping laboratory results
by 6%, patients falling by 9%, potential injury incidence by 9%, sentinel
incidence by 3%, mistaking of medication by 3% and Unwanted Events
(KTD) by 14%. In the 1st quarter of January to April 2011, KKP-RS
reported patient safety incidents with 34 incident reports, nurses spent a
lot of time caring for patients, so that the nursing team made a significant
contribution to patient safety (Haritsal, 2021 in Huriati, 2022).
To overcome this problem, the Indonesian Ministry of Health has issued
Regulation of the Minister of Health No. 11 of 2017 concerning patient
safety in hospitals. Patient safety is the right that patients have to feel
safe and comfortable while being treated in the hospital. Government
department
esehatan (2009) states that in accordance with Article 53 (3) of the
Health Law Law 36/2009, the patient's life must be the top priority in the
implementation of health services. Furthermore, the regulation of the
Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 1691 of 2011
concerning hospital patient safety, states that every hospital must
implement patient safety standards, and some of these patient safety
standards consist of seven standards, namely: 1). Patient rights, 2).
Educating patients and families, 3). Patient safety and continuity of
service, 4). The use of performance improvement methods to conduct
evaluations and safety improvement programs patients, 5). Leadership
role in improving patient safety, 6). Educating staff on patient safety, 7).
Communication is the key for staff to achieve patient safety (UU Kes RI,
2011).
5.2 Definition of Patient Safety
Hospital patient safety is a system in which hospitals make patient care
safer which includes risk assessment, identification and management of
matters related to patient risks, incident reporting and analysis, the ability
to learn from incidents and their follow-up as well as the implementation
of solutions to minimize risks and prevent injuries caused by mistakes
due to carrying out an action or not taking appropriate actions (Ministry
of Health, 2011).
Another definition states that patient safety is an action to reduce the risk
of unwanted damage related to health care (Duarte et al in Buhari et al.,
2022). Some experts define patient safety as a state of being free from
physical and psychological injury that ensures patient safety, through
operational determination and minimizing errors, reducing insecurity in
the health care system and improving services optimally (Canadian
Nursing Association, 2009; KKPRS, 2015; WHO, 2017 in Buhari et al.,
2022).
A patient safety incident hereinafter referred to as an incident is any
accidental event and condition that results in or has the potential to result
in a preventable injury to a patient, consisting of an Unexpected Event, a
Near Injury Event, a Non-Injury Event and a Potential Injury Event. An
Unexpected Event, hereinafter abbreviated as KTD, is an incident that
results in injury to a patient. The Incident of Almost Injury, hereinafter
abbreviated as KNC, is the occurrence of an incident that has not been
exposed to the patient. Non-Injury Incident, hereinafter abbreviated as
KTC is an incident that has been exposed to a patient, but no injury has
occurred. Potential Injury Condition, hereinafter abbreviated as KPC, is a
condition that has the potential to cause injury, but there has not been an
incident. A sentinel event is a KTD that results in death or serious injury.
Patient safety incident reporting, hereinafter referred to as incident
reporting, is a system for documenting patient safety incident reports,
analysis and solutions for learning.
5.3 Patient Safety Objectives
The purpose of patient safety is the creation of a culture or habit of
prioritizing hospital safety, increasing hospital accountability to patients
and the community, decreasing KTD in hospitals and implementing
prevention programs so that there is no repetition of KTD (KKPRS, 2015
in Buhari et al., 2022).
According to the Joint Commission (2015), several objectives of patient
safety are:
1. Improve the accuracy of patient identification by using two patient
identities to prevent errors in patient identification
2. Improve communication between health care providers by using
regular communication procedures and reporting critical information
and improving patient handover patterns.
3. Improve the safety of drug use by labeling drugs, and reduce the use
of anticoagulants.
4. Reduce the risk associated with infection by washing hands properly,
preventing resistance to the use of antibiotics, keeping the central
line from the process of spreading infection through the blood.
5. Using medication during treatment accurately and completely,
communicating treatment to the next officer, making a list of patient
treatments, trying to get the patient treatment as little as possible.
6. Reduces the risk of fall hazards
7. Prevents pressure sores from occurring
8. Organizations identify safety risks in all patients in hospitals
9. General protocols to prevent misplace, wrong procedures and people
at the time of surgery
5.4 Patient Safety Standards
The Ministry of Health has regulated and established diving safety
standards for undergoing treatment in hospitals, and this explanation has
been enshrined or written in the health law of the Republic of Indonesia
(2011), as for the description of patient safety standards as follows:
1. The right to leave is that patients and their families have the right to
obtain information about service plans and outcomes, including the
possibility of incidents. In this standard, the hospital must have a
doctor in charge of the service and then make a service plan and the
doctor in charge of the service is obliged to give a clear and correct
explanation to the patient and his family about the plan and results of
the service, treatment or procedure for the patient, including the
possibility of an incident or the impact of providing health measures
while in the hospital.
2. Educating patients and families, namely hospitals must educate
patients and their families about the patient's obligations and
responsibilities in patient care. Safety in service delivery can be
improved by the involvement of patients who are partners in the
service process. Therefore, in hospitals, there must be a system and
mechanism to educate patients and their families about the patient's
obligations and responsibilities in patient care. With this education, it
is hoped that patients and families can: provide true, clear, complete
and honest information, know the obligations and responsibilities of
patients and families, ask questions for things they do not
understand, understand and accept the consequences of service,
comply with instructions and respect hospital regulations, show
respect and tolerance, fulfill agreed financial obligations.
3. Patient safety in continuity of service: The hospital guarantees
patient safety in continuity of service and ensures coordination
between personnel and between service units. There are several
criteria to realize this standard, namely: There is overall service
coordination starting from the moment the patient enters,
examination, diagnosis, service planning, treatment actions, referrals
and when the patient is discharged from the hospital, there is service
coordination that is adjusted to the patient's needs and the feasibility
of resources on an ongoing basis so that at all stages of transitional
services between service units can run well and smoothly, There is
service coordination which includes improved communication to
facilitate family support, nursing services, social services,
consultation and referrals, primary health services and other follow-
up, there is communication and information transfer between health
professions so that a coordination process can be achieved without
obstacles, safely and effectively.
4. The use of performance improvement methods to conduct
evaluations and programs to improve patient safety. Hospitals must
design new processes or improve existing processes, monitor and
evaluate performance through data collection, intensive analysis of
incidents, and make changes to improve patient performance and
safety. The criteria to achieve this standard are that each hospital
must carry out a good design process, referring to the vision,
mission, and goals of the hospital, the needs of patients, health care
workers, the latest clinical principles, healthy business practices, and
other factors that have the potential to be risky for patients in
accordance with the "Seven Steps Towards Hospital Patient Safety",
each hospital must collect performance data which among other
things is related to reporting incidents, accreditation, risk
management, utilization, service quality, finance, each hospital must
conduct an intensive evaluation related to all incidents, and
proactively evaluate a single high-risk case process, each hospital
must use all data and information from the analysis to determine the
necessary system changes, so that patient performance and safety are
guaranteed.
5. Leadership role in improving patient safety: Leadership encourages
and ensures the implementation of patient safety programs in an
integrated manner within the organization through the
implementation of the "Seven Steps Towards Hospital Patient
Safety", Leadership ensures the continuation of proactive programs
for the identification of patient safety risks and programs to suppress
or reduce incidents, Leadership encourages and fosters
communication and coordination between units and individuals
regarding recruitment decisions on patient safety, the leadership
allocates adequate resources to measure, review, and improve
hospital performance and improve patient safety, the leadership
measures and reviews the effectiveness of its contribution in
improving hospital performance and patient safety.
6. Educating staff on patient safety: the hospital has an education,
training and orientation process for each position covering the
relationship between the position and patient safety clearly, the
hospital organizes continuous education and training to improve and
maintain staff competencies and supports an interdisciplinary
approach in patient care. Some of the criteria to achieve this standard
are: Each hospital must have an education, training and orientation
program for new staff that contains patient safety topics according to
their respective duties, each hospital must integrate patient safety
topics in every in-service training activity and provide clear
guidelines on incident reporting, each hospital must organize training
on teamwork to support interdisciplinary and collaborative approach
in order to serve patients.
7. Communication is key for staff to achieve patient safety: Hospitals
plan and design patient safety information management processes to
meet internal and external information needs, and data and
information transmission must be timely and accurate. Some of the
criteria in achieving this standard include: It is necessary to provide a
budget to plan and design the management process to obtain data and
information on matters related to patient safety, there is a mechanism
for identifying problems and communication obstacles to revise the
existing information management.
To achieve patient safety standards in hospitals, each hospital is required
to strive to meet patient safety goals, including: Accuracy of patient
identification, improvement of effective communication, improvement of
drug safety that needs to be watched out, certainty of right-location,
right-procedure, right-patient surgery, reduction of the risk of infection
related to health services, and reduction of the risk of patient falls.
Patient safety goals are a requirement to be implemented in all hospitals
accredited by the Hospital Accreditation Commission. The preparation of
this target refers to the Nine Life-Saving Patient Safety Solutions from
WHO Patient Safety (2007) which is also used by the PERSI Hospital
Patient Safety Committee (KKPRS PERSI), and from the Joint
Commission International (JCI).
Patient safety is driving specific improvements in patient safety. The
objective highlights problematic areas of health care and explains the
evidence and solutions of the evidence-based consensus and expertise on
these issues. It is recognized that intrinsically good system design is to
provide safe and high-quality health services, as far as possible the
general goal is focused on comprehensive solutions.
The six patient safety goals are the achievement of the following:
1. Accuracy of patient identification
Errors in identifying patients can occur in almost all aspects/stages of
diagnosis and treatment. Misidentification of patients can occur in
patients who are in a state of anesthesia/intoxication, experiencing
disorientation, unconscious, exchanging beds/rooms/locations in the
hospital, the presence of sensory abnormalities, or due to other
situations. The purpose of this goal is to carry out two checks,
namely: first, to identify the patient as an individual who will receive
services or treatment; and second, for the suitability of services or
treatment for the individual.
Policies and/or procedures that are collaboratively developed to
improve the identification process, in particular in the process of
identifying patients when administering medicines, blood or blood
products; collection of blood and other specimens for clinical
examination; or the administration of medication or other measures.
Policies and/or procedures require at least two ways to identify a
patient, such as the patient's name, medical record number, date of
birth, patient identification bracelet with bar-code, etc. The patient's
room number or location cannot be used for identification. Policies
and/or procedures also describe the use of two different identities in
different locations in hospitals, such as in outpatient services,
emergency departments, or operating rooms including identification
in comatose patients without identity. A collaborative process is used
to develop policies and/or procedures to ensure all possible situations
can be identified.
2. Improved effective communication
Effective communication, which is timely, accurate, complete, clear,
and understood by patients, will reduce errors, and result in
improved patient safety. Communication can be electronic, oral, or
written. Communication that is prone to errors mostly occurs when
commands are given verbally or over the phone. Another
communication that is prone to errors is the re-reporting of critical
examination results, such as reporting the results of the CITO Clinic
laboratory by phone to the service unit.
The hospital collaboratively develops a policy and/or procedure for
oral and telephone commands including: recording (or entering into a
computer) complete commands or the results of examination by the
recipient of the order; then the recipient of the order reads back the order
or the results of the examination; and confirm that what has been written
and reread is accurate. The identification policy and/or procedure also
explains that it is permissible not to do a read back when it is not
possible, such as in the operating room and emergency situations in the
emergency room or ICU. 3. Increasing Drug Safety that Needs to Be
Aware (High-Alert) When drugs are part of a patient's treatment plan,
management must play a critical role to ensure patient safety. High-alert
medications are drugs that often cause serious errors (sentinel events),
drugs that have a high risk of causing adverse outcomes such as drugs
that look similar and sound similar (Look Alike Soun Alike/LASA).
Medicines that are often mentioned in patient safety issues are accidental
administration of concentrated electrolytes (e.g., potassium chloride of
2meq/ml or more concentrated, potassium phosphate, sodium chloride
more concentrated than 0.9%, and magnesium sulfate-50% or more
concentrated). This error can occur if the nurse is not properly oriented in
the patient care unit, or if the contract nurse is not oriented first before
being assigned, or in an emergency. The most effective way to reduce or
eliminate these events is to improve the process of managing
medications that need to be watched out for, including moving
concentrated electrolytes from patient service units to pharmacies.
Hospitals collaboratively develop a policy and/or procedure to make
a list of drugs that need to be watched out for based on the data
available in the hospital. Policies and/or procedures also identify
which areas require concentrated electrolytes, such as in the
emergency room or operating room, as well as properly labeling
electrolytes and how they are stored in those areas, thereby
restricting access, to prevent unintentional/careless administration.
4. Exact Location, Procedure, and Patient Accuracy Surgery
Mislocation, mis-procedure, patient-error on surgery, is something to
worry about and is not uncommon in hospitals. These errors are the
result of ineffective or inadequate communication between surgical
team members, lacking/not involving patients in site marking, and no
procedures for surgical site verification. In addition, inadequate
patient examinations, inadequate review of medical records, a culture
that does not support open communication between surgical team
members, problems related to illegible handwriting and the use of
abbreviations are common contributing factors. Hospitals need to
collaboratively develop effective policies and/or procedures to
eliminate this worrying problem. Evidence-based practices are also
used, as described in the Surgical Safety Checklist from WHO
Patient Safety (2009).
Marking the surgical site needs to involve the patient and be done on
one of the recognizable signs. The mark should be used consistently
in the hospital and should be made by the operator/person who will
perform the action, be carried out while the patient is awake and
conscious if possible, and must be visible until the time of incision.
Surgical site marking is performed in all cases including lateral
(laterality), multiple structures (fingers, toes, lesions) or multiple
levels (spine).
The purpose of the pre-cooperative verification process is to:
a. Verifying the correct location, procedures, and patients;
b. Ensure that all relevant documents, photographs (imaging),
inspection results are available, properly labeled, and displayed;
and
c. Verify the availability of special equipment.
The "Before the incision" stage (Time out) allows all questions or
mistakes to be resolved. The time-out is done on-site, where the
action will be taken, just before the action starts, and involves the
entire operations team. Hospitals establish how the process is
documented succinctly, for example using a checklist.
5. Risk Reduction of Service-Related Infections
Infection prevention and control is the biggest challenge in the
healthcare order, and the increasing cost of addressing healthcare-
related infections is a major concern for patients and healthcare
professionals alike. Infections are commonly found in all forms of
health care including urinary tract infections, blood stream infections
and pneumonia (often associated with mechanical ventilation).
The center of the elimination of this infection and other infections is
proper hand hygiene. Hand hygiene guidelines can be read in the
WHO literature, and various national and international organizations.
Hospitals have a collaborative process to develop policies and/or
procedures that adapt or adopt generally accepted hand hygiene
guidelines and for the implementation of those guidelines in
hospitals.
6. Reducing the Risk of Falling Patients
The number of fall cases is quite significant as a cause of injury for
inpatients. In the context of the population/community served, the
services provided, and the facilities, hospitals need to evaluate the
risk of patients falling and take measures to reduce the risk of injury
if they fall. Evaluations can include a history of falls, medication and
alcohol consumption, gait and balance, and walking aids used by the
patient. The program must be implemented by hospitals.
5.5 Seven Steps Towards Hospital Patient
Safety
Referring to patient safety standards, hospitals must design new
processes or improve existing processes, monitor and evaluate
performance through data collection, intensive analysis of incidents, and
make changes to improve patient performance and safety. The design
process should refer to the vision, mission, and goals of the hospital, the
needs of patients, health care workers, the latest clinical practices,
healthy business practices, and other factors that have the potential to be
risky for patients in accordance with the "Seven Steps to Hospital Patient
Safety". The description of the Seven Steps Towards Hospital Patient
Safety is as follows:
5.5.1 Building Awareness of Patient Safety Value
Creating an open and equitable leadership and culture. The steps to
implement anny are as follows:
1. For Hospitals:
a. Make sure the hospital has a policy that describes individual
roles and accountability in the event of an incident.
b. Cultivate a culture of reporting and learning from incidents that
occur in hospitals.
c. Conduct an assessment using a patient safety assessment survey.
2. For Units/Teams:
a. Make sure your coworkers feel able to talk about their concerns
and dare to report incidents if they occur.
b. Demonstrate to your team the measurements used in your
hospital to ensure all reports are made openly and there is a
learning process and the right actions/solutions are implemented.
5.5.2 Leading and Supporting Staff
Establish a strong and clear commitment and focus on Patient Safety in
hospitals. The steps to implement anny are as follows:
1. For Hospitals:
a. Ensure there is a member of the Board of Directors or
Leadership responsible for Patient Safety
b. Identify in every part of the hospital, people who can be relied on
to be the "driving force" in the movement
Patient Safety
c. Prioritize Safety Patient deep agenda meeting
Board of Directors/Leaders and hospital management meetings
d. Include Patient Safety in all your hospital staff training programs
and ensure that this training is followed and measured for
effectiveness.
2. For Units/Teams:
a. Nominate "movers" in your own team to lead the Patient Safety
Movement
b. Explain to your team the relevance and importance and benefits
to them by running the Patient Safety movement
c. Cultivate a chivalrous attitude that values incident reporting.
5.5.3 Integrating Risk Management Activities
Develop risk management systems and processes, as well as conduct
identification and assessment of potentially problematic matters. The
steps to implement anny are as follows:
1. For Hospitals:
a. Review the structures and processes in clinical and nonclinical
risk management, and ensure they are inclusive and integrated
with Patient and Staff Safety;
b. Develop performance indicators for the risk management system
that can be monitored by the hospital directors/leaders;
c. Use the correct and clear information obtained from incident
reporting and risk assessment systems to be able to proactively
increase patient awareness.
2. For Units/Teams:
a. Establish forums within the hospital to discuss Patient Safety
issues to provide feedback to the relevant management;
b. Ensure that there is a risk assessment of the individual patient in
the hospital risk assessment process;
c. Conduct a regular risk assessment process, to determine the
acceptability of each risk, and take appropriate steps
appropriate to minimize such risks;
d. Make sure that the risk assessment is submitted as input to the
hospital's risk assessment and recording process.
5.5.4 Developing a Reporting System
Ensure staff can report incidents/incidents, and hospitals arrange
reporting to the National Committee for Hospital Patient Safety. The
implementation steps are as follows:
1. For Hospitals: Complete the implementation plan of the internal and
external incident reporting system, which must be reported to the
National Committee for Hospital Patient Safety.
2. For Units/Teams: Encourage your colleagues to actively report any
incidents that occur and incidents that have been prevented but still
occur, as they contain important lesson material.
5.5.5 Engaging and Communicating with Patients
Develop open ways of communicating with patients. The steps to
implement anny are as follows:
1. For Hospitals:
a. Make sure the hospital has a policy that clearly outlines ways of
open communication during the care process about incidents
with patients and their families.
b. Ensure that patients and their families are informed correctly and
clearly in the event of an incident. 3) Provide support, training
and encouragement to staff so that they are always open to
patients and their families.
2. For Units/Teams:
a. Make sure your team values and supports the involvement of
patients and their families in the event of an incident
b. Prioritize notification to patients and families in the event of an
incident, and provide them with clear and correct information
immediately
c. Make sure, immediately after the incident, the team shows
empathy to the patient and his family.
5.5.6 Learn and Share Experience About Patient Safety
Encourage staff to conduct root cause analysis to learn how and why the
incident occurred. The steps to implement anny are as follows:
1. For Hospitals:
a. Ensure that the relevant staff are trained to conduct an
appropriate incident assessment, which can be used to identify
the cause.
b. Develop a policy that clearly describes the criteria for
implementing a root cause analysis (RCA) that includes
incidents that occur and at least once a year conducts a Failure
Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for high-risk processes.
2. For Units/Teams:
a. Discuss in your team the experience of the results of the incident
analysis.
b. Identify other units or parts that may be affected in the future and
share the experience more broadly.
5.5.7 Preventing Injury Through the Implementation of a Patient
Safety System
Use existing information about events/problems to make changes to the
service system. The steps to implement anny are as follows:
1. For Hospitals:
a. Use the correct and clear information obtained from reporting
systems, risk assessments, incident studies, and audits and
analysis, to determine local solutions.
b. Such solutions may include re-elaboration of systems (structures
and processes), adjustments to staff training and/or clinical
activities, including the use of instruments that ensure patient
safety.
c. Do assessment risk to every change
planned.
d. Socialize the solutions developed by the National Committee for
Hospital Patient Safety.
e. Give staff feedback on any actions taken on reported incidents.
2. For Units/Teams:
a. Involve your team in developing ways to make patient care
better and safer.
b. Review the changes your team has made and make sure they are
implemented.
c. Make sure your team receives feedback on any follow-ups on
reported incidents.
The seven steps for hospital patient safety are a comprehensive guide to
patient safety, so the seven steps must be implemented comprehensively
by every hospital. In implementation, the seven steps do not have to be
sequential and do not have to be simultaneous. Choose the most strategic
and easiest steps to implement in the hospital. If these steps are
successful, then develop the steps that have not been implemented. If
these seven steps have been implemented properly, hospitals can increase
the use of other methods.
NURSING SERVICE OBJECTIVES
6.1 Nursing Services
Nursing Services according to the Law of the Republic of Indonesia
Number 38 of 2014 concerning Nursing is a form of professional service
which is an integral part of health services based on nursing knowledge
and tips aimed at individuals, families, groups, or communities, both
healthy and sick. In addition, the foundation of nursing services is also
contained in the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of
Indonesia Number 26 of 2019 Nursing.
The Nursing Law is a state regulation that has binding legal force. At the

provision of health services supported by health resources, both health
workers and non-health workers. Nurses in carrying out health services
play the role of organizers of Nursing Practices, providers of Nursing
Care, counselors and counselors for Clients, managers of Nursing
Services, and Nursing researchers. Nursing services provided by nurses
are based on knowledge and competence in the field of nursing that are
developed in accordance with the needs of clients, the development of
science, and the demands of globalization. These health services include
nursing services that are carried out responsibly, accountably, quality,

4. Educational and research interests
5. Provisions of Laws and Regulations
6.2.2 Individual Clients
Humans are complex organisms, influenced by and responsive to the
internal and external environment. Our behavior, our feelings about
ourselves and others, our values, and the priorities we set for ourselves
are all related to our physiological and psychosocial needs. This need is
common to everyone, and meeting this need is essential for everyone's
health and survival; hence, they are labeled as basic human needs. Basic
human needs can be met or unmet in a variety of ways. A person can
fulfill some needs independently, but most needs require relationships
and interactions with others for partial or complete fulfillment. Satisfying
one's needs often depends on one's social and physical environment,
especially one's family and community (Taylor et al., 2011).
Basic Human Needs of the Individual
In nursing, the physical and psychosocial needs of the patient are
considered. Maslow (1968) developed a hierarchy of basic human needs
that can be used to consider the most important needs of a person at any
given time. Certain needs are more basic or essential than others and
must at least be met before other needs can be considered.
Maslow's hierarchy is useful for understanding the relationship of basic
human needs and for setting care priorities. The hierarchy is based on the
theory that something is a basic need if it has the following
characteristics (Taylor et al., 2011):
1. Its absence causes illness.
2. Its presence helps prevent diseases or signifies health.
3. The meeting restored health.
4. Preferable to other satisfactions when not met.
5. A person feels that something is missing when their needs are not
met.
6. A person feels satisfaction when their needs are met.
Maslow organized the hierarchy to show that certain needs are more
fundamental than others. Although everyone has all the needs all the
time, people generally strive to meet certain needs, at least to a minimal
extent, before meeting others. The levels from the bottom up are
physiologic needs, safety and security needs, love and belonging needs,
self-esteem needs, selfactualization needs (Potter et al., 2021).
Nursing care is often directed to meet unmet or threatened needs.
Maslow's hierarchy provides a framework for nursing assessment and to
understand patient needs at all levels, so that interventions to meet
priority needs become part of the care plan.
6.2.3 Family
Almost everyone is a member of a number of groups, such as friends, co-
workers, or school classes. Each of these groups involves a specific part
of a person's life and is important to the person. However, only one
group cares about all parts of a person's life and by meeting his basic
needs as a human being to improve health. That group is the family
(Taylor et al., 2011).
A family can be simply defined as a group of people who live together
and are emotionally bonded. Families exist in all sizes and
configurations and are essential for the health and survival of individual
family members, as well as society as a whole. The family is a buffer
between the needs of individual members and the demands and
expectations of society. The role of the family is to help meet the basic
human needs of its members as well as meet the needs of society
(Friedman, Bowden and Jones, 2003).
A family can consist of two or more people. Family members may not be
biologically or legally related, may be of the same sex, and/or may
belong to multiple generations (such as grandparents raising
grandchildren). Nurses must remember that there is no absolute "right"
or "wrong" about what makes a family, and one person's values should
not be imposed on others. Respect for all types of family members and
relationships is essential for holistic, holistic and individualized patient
care (Taylor et al., 2011).
6.2.4 Community
A person has several roles, as an individual, as a family member, as well
as being a member of society. The environment of society affects the
ability of individuals to meet basic human needs. A community can be
defined in a variety of ways, but the most basic definition is that a
community is a specific population or group of people who live in the
same geographic area under the same rules and have the same values,
interests, and needs. A community may be a small neighborhood in a
large city or a large rural area that includes a small town. Communities
are shaped by the characteristics of people, regions, social interactions,
and the same family, cultural, or ethnic heritage and ties. In a
community, people interact and share resources (Taylor et al., 2011).
Vulnerable Populations
In community settings, nurses care for patients from diverse cultures and
backgrounds and with a variety of health conditions. However, changes
in the healthcare delivery system have made high-risk groups the main
patients. Vulnerable populations are groups of patients who are more
likely to develop health problems as a result of excessive health risks,
who are limited in access to health care services, or who are dependent
on others for treatment (Potter et al., 2017).
Public and community health nursing and primary care providers share
health care responsibilities for health promotion, screening, and early
detection and prevention of disease for vulnerable populations. These
patients have intense healthcare needs that are not met or neglected or
require more care than can be provided in an outpatient or hospital
setting. Vulnerable individuals and their families are often members of
more than one of these groups. In addition, healthcare vulnerabilities
affect all age groups (Sebastian, 2014).
Some things related to the community (Taylor et al., 2011)
1. Social Support System
An individual's social support system is made up of all the people
who help meet financial, personal, physical, and emotional needs. In
most cases, family, friends, and neighbors provide the best social
support in a community. To understand the social support system of a
community, it is important to know who and what is providing
support (such as family, neighbors, friends, and organizations).
2. Public Health Structure
The health care structure of a community has a direct effect on the
health of the people living in it. The size and location of the
community often determine the type of services available. For
example, urban dwellers have various means of transportation to
various health care providers, while rural dwellers may have to travel
long distances to get treatment. In addition, district and state funding
for public health services also determines the type and amount of
health services institutions and institutions available.
3. Economic Source
Financial and insurance coverage affects individuals' access to health
services in society. As the cost of private health insurance continues
to rise, fewer and fewer citizens have it. Many part-time and
unskilled jobs do not provide insurance benefits at all, resulting in a
large number of citizens not having financial assistance for health
screenings or disease treatment. Although the issue is being
examined by state and federal policymakers, there is no clear
solution yet.
4. Environmental factors
The community environment in which individuals live and work may
have beneficial and harmful effects on health. Air and water quality
is different in every community. Large urban areas are often affected
by air pollution, while smaller communities may be at risk of water
pollution from chemical or livestock waste runoff. There are also
growing concerns about how global warming affects health.
Environmental barriers to accessing health services in the
community include lack of transportation, distance to services, and
location of services.
5. Effects on Individuals and Families
The community has a strong influence on health promotion activities
and disease prevention of individuals and families in the community.
Just as there are family risk factors for the health of individual
members, there are also community risk factors involving resources,
economics, and services. In order for nursing assessments and
interventions to be comprehensive and individualized, nurses must
also consider the influence of the community.
NURSING PROCESS
7.1 Introduction
The nursing process is a series of methods applied by nurses in nursing
practice. Initially, nurses only carried out tasks that became work
routines, without scientific guidelines for such actions. However, along
with the development of science, technology, practice and nursing
science also developed. The nursing process provides a structure for
nursing practice which is a framework for the use of science and
knowledge and skills carried out by nurses. The approach to solving
nursing problems also requires science, techniques and interpersonal
skills. The nursing process consists of five consistent, systematic and
interrelated stages, namely assessment, diagnosis, planning,
implementation and evaluation.
In the implementation of nursing care, the use of the nursing process is a
differentiator between professional nursing care and traditional nursing
care. Therefore, professional nurses are required to be able to carry out
the nursing process appropriately and correctly using a scientific
approach in solving the problems of the needs of clients, families and
society.
7.2 History of the nursing process
Currently, the five stages of the nursing process are used as the
framework, basis and introduction of the study of nursing. The term
nursing process was first introduced by Lidya Hall in 1955. At that time,
the nursing process still consisted of three stages, namely study,
planning, and evaluation. Then in 1967, Yura and Walls described it into
four stages, namely study, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
In the mid-1970s, authors such as Bloch, Roy, Mundinger and Jauron, as
well as Aspinal completed the nursing process into five stages: review,
diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation. In Indonesia,
around the 1980s, the nursing process began to be known, especially in
the world of nursing education.
7.3 Definition of Nursing Process
Since the 1950s until now, experts have described the nursing process in
various ways, but in general, the definition of the nursing process can be
divided into three dimensions, namely Objectives, Organization, and
Characteristics.
7.3.1 Objectives, Organization and Characteristics
The purpose of the nursing process is to use problem-solving methods so
that nurses can identify all the needs needed by the client both
individuals, families and communities. These client needs describe the
problems that occur to the client, both actual and risky.
The purpose of the nursing process will be met if nurses use standards
for nursing practice. The quality or nursing services provided use the
same standards, namely the nursing process. The nursing process also
aims to obtain a standard, appropriate, rational, and systematic method.
It can be concluded that the purpose of the nursing process is to produce
high-quality nursing care. Nursing process approach
help nurses more carefully carry out the task of mass identification and
scientific planning design.
The nursing process is organized into five stages, namely, assessment,
diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Although it is
grouped into five stages, the nursing process must be carried out
consecutively, dependently and continuously. Each stage affects each
other, so that the performance of nurses who use the nursing process
approach becomes neat and structured. This makes the quality of nursing
care good and professional.
The characteristics of the nursing process include interactive, flexible,
and theoretical. The interaction between nurses, clients, families, and
other health workers makes the client's healing process will run quickly,
completely, and continuously. Interaction with other health workers in
the healing process of clients will form an attitude of mutual respect for
other professions. The flexibility of the nursing process means that it can
be used in the life span, from the fetus to the elderly, as well as the entire
health service order.
The nursing process is dynamic in that the nursing process can change
when the patient's condition changes. Changes in the patient's condition
both positively and negatively, so that nursing problems, plans, and
actions will also change.
7.3.2 Benefits of the Nursing Process
The application of the nursing process has implications and impacts on
the nursing profession, clients and nurses. The benefits of the nursing
process are first, improving the quality of nursing services through
comprehensive nursing care, so as to accelerate the healing process and
avoid mallpractice.
Second, the development of intellectual and technical skills for nursing
staff. The implementation of the nursing process in caring for clients will
provide opportunities for nurses to develop various knowledge and skills
as well as experience in cooperation with colleagues, clients, and their
families.
Third, improve the role and function of nursing in the management of
nursing care. By carrying out the stages in the nursing process means
carrying out management functions starting from problem assessment,
planning nursing care, organizing nursing activities, mobilizing nursing
staff, assessing and controlling the nursing care provided in achieving
the goals of nursing services that have been set.
Fourth, recognition of nursing autonomy. The community will recognize
the autonomy of the nursing profession if nursing care is provided with a
method based on responsibility and responsibility based on the
professional code of ethics and nursing practice standards.
Fifth: Increase job satisfaction and improve professional development.
The nursing process allows for the development of creativity so as to
prevent nurses from being bored in doing routine work and a task-
oriented approach.
7.4 Theories Underlying the Nursing Process
Various theories have been put forward by experts about nursing, both in
the form of concepts, philosophies, models and nursing theories
themselves. Here are some theories about the nursing process.
7.4.1 Systems Theory
In the nursing system, it is explained that nurses as individuals and
clients (individuals, families, communities) interact where each other
affects each other on the level of needs and satisfaction which is the
focus of nursing care.
Figure 7.1: Nursing Process System Theory (Nursalam, 2008)
The data set of the results of the assessment and the problems are, then
the right nursing plan and care are prepared, so that the results (output)
of the interventions that have been carried out are created. The feedback
process is a process in which the system is evaluated or reviewed to
determine the next intervention.
7.4.2 Theory of Human Needs
This theory initiated by Abraham Maslow frames humans as an integral
part of motivation to meet basic human needs (physiology, security,
compassion, self-esteem, and self-actualization). The application of the
nursing process is focused on the unique basic needs of human beings
Figure 7.2: Nursing Process System Theory (Nursalam, 2008)
7.4.3 Theory of perception
This perceptual theory states that in the fulfillment of basic needs, it is
influenced by the individual's perception of the stimulus obtained. in
nursing processes where nurses and clients are mutually collecting data.
Then the data will provide meaningful value and can be used to provide
nursing care.
Figure 7.3: Nursing Process System Theory (Nursalam, 2008)
7.4.4 Theory of Decision Making and Problem Solving
This theory states that every decision-making and problem-solving
requires a person to be able to accept new, different and more complex
aspects of the existing environment. The purpose of the nursing process
is to provide nursing care to clients is to help accelerate the resolution of
complex client problems.
Figure 7.4: Nursing Process System Theory (Nursalam, 2008)
7.5 Nursing Process Steps
The nursing process is used continuously in nursing care. Nursing care is
the core of the entire nursing process. Nursing care is the entire process
that is arranged in sequence that is directly aimed at the client in various
health service settings. Nurses consider clients as central figures in
nursing care plans so they always ensure the accuracy of all aspects and
observe the patient's response.
In fact, health professionals must master the process in nursing care so
that they can overcome client problems professionally. To better master
the nursing process, it's a good idea to look at the details of the stages of
the nursing process. Here is a simple table of the steps of the nursing
process.
Table 7.1: Nursing Process Steps

observations, physical examinations and

10. Determination of Follow-up
7.5.1 Nursing Review
Nursing review is the initial and basic stage in the nursing process and
determines the next process. The activities in the assessment are data
collection through interviews, observations, physical examinations, and
maintenance of supports. In the nursing assessment, four types of data
will be collected, namely basic data, focus data, subjective data, and
objective data. The data collected is sourced from the client's primary,
and secondary data sources are from family, closest people, or other
people who know the client's health status, including health workers.
Data collection techniques include anamnesis, observation. Anamnesis is
a question and answer or communication directly or indirectly with the
client to find out information about the client's health status. In
performing anamnesis, the nurse's ability to communicate and pay
attention to the client's verbal responses and non-verbal behavior is
needed.
In observation, nurses make direct observations that require skills,
discipline, and modern practice. Observation consists of physical
examinations carried out in four ways, namely inspection, percussion,
palapation and auscultation. Observation of supporting examinations is
carried out according to indications, for example observing thoracic,
laboratory and cardiac photos.
Nurses in conducting assessments sometimes experience obstacles or
obstacles, including (1) not being able to perform anamnesis
appropriately, (2) not being able to conduct physical examinations
appropriately, (3) not being able to organize data, (4) incomplete and
accurate data, (5) data that are contrary to each other, and (6) data
duplication.
Therefore, to carry out the nursing process comprehensively and
professionally, a nurse must have good knowledge, skills and
communication skills.
7.5.2 Diagnosis
In the provision of nursing care, nursing diagnosis is a vital part to help
patients achieve optimal health. A nursing diagnosis is a statement that
describes the human response, as well as the clinical assessment of that
response. The purpose of nursing diagnosis is to enable nurses to analyze
and synthesize data that has been grouped, identify problems, factors that
cause problems, and the client's ability to be able to prevent and solve
problems.
Analyzing data and drawing conclusions in the formulation of a
diagnosis requires cognitive and reasoning skills. The data found during
the nursing assessment process to be then concluded in the formulation
of nursing diagnosis requires nurses to develop thinking and reasoning
skills that are greatly influenced by the background of science and
knowledge (Dermawan, 2012). So it can be said that the determination of
nursing diagnosis is a process that is carried out simultaneously which of
course requires adequate experience by the nurse. Inexperienced nurses
need to get continuous training and habituation systematically so that
nursing diagnoses can be established accurately.
Figure 7.5: Stages of the Diagnostic Process (PPNI,
2016)
The process of diagnostic enforcement (process diagnostics) or diagnosis
is a systematic process consisting of three stages, namely (1) data
analysis, (2) problem identification, and (3) diagnosis formulation.
These steps to determine nursing diagnosis make it easier for nurses or
new students to accurately enforce nursing diagnoses (PPNI, 2016).
7.5.3 Planning
After identifying problems in the nursing diagnosis, the nurse then
develops a nursing planning design to prevent, reduce and overcome the
problem. In developing a nursing plan, nurses must determine the
priority of nursing issues. The first priority is interpreted that this
problem needs the attention of nurses because it can affect the general
health status and can slow down the resolution of other problems.
At this stage, various applicable steps will be prepared and planned. This
stage contains the objectives, outcome criteria and nursing action plan.
PPNI has compiled the Indonesian Nursing Output Standards book as a
guide for nurses in compiling the goals and outcome criteria in nursing
planning.
Nursing objectives or nursing outcomes are aspects that can be observed
and measured including conditions, behaviors, or perceptions of patients,
families or communities in response to nursing interventions. This
nursing output shows the status of nursing diagnosis after nursing
intervention.
Nursing outcomes have three main components, namely labels,
expectations and outcome criteria. Nursing output labels are conditions
that are behavioral or perceptual conditions that can be changed or
overcome by nursing intervention. External expectations are an
assessment of the expected results achieved. Expectations describe
conditions such as increasing, decreasing, and improving. Outcome
criteria are patient characteristics that are observed or measured by
nurses and are used as a basis for assessing the achievement of nursing
intervention outcomes. The result kiteria is also called an indicator
because it describes the change to be achieved.
The nursing intervention plan is prepared based on the Indonesian
Nursing Intervention Standards (SIKI). Based on the mandate of Law
No. 38/2014 concerning Nursing, it is stated that in carrying out their
duties as nursing care providers, nurses are authorized to plan and carry
out nursing actions, make referrals, provide emergency measures, give
consultations, collaborate, conduct consultations and counseling, provide
drugs according to a doctor's prescription or over-the-counter and limited
over-the-counter drugs, manage cases and manage complementary and
alternative interventions.
In the SIKI classification system, it consists of 5 categories and 14
subcategories. The classification of nursing interventions is carried out
based on similarity analysis and clinical judgement.
7.5.4 Implementation
Implementation is the realization of actions to achieve the goals that have
been set. Activities in the implementation include continuous data
collection, observing client responses during and after the
implementation of actions and assessing new data.
Professional nurses in carrying out implementation require several skills,
namely cognitive, interpersonal, and psychomotor. These skills are
needed for nurses to know the reasons for each intervention,
physiological and psychological responses, and recognize the promotive
aspects of the client's health. In interacting with clients, nurses must
communicate clearly in addition to having a perspective on the client's
verbal and non-verbal communication.
7.5.5 Nursing Evaluation
Nursing evaluation is to compare changes in the patient's circumstances
(observed outcomes) with the outcome goals and criteria made at the
planning stage. The purpose of the evaluation is to End the nursing
action plan, modify the nursing plan, and forward the nursing plan. The
evaluation process includes measuring the achievement of goals from
cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects as well as changes in body
functions. After being evaluated, the nurse makes a decision whether the
client has achieved the set results, the client is still in the process of
achieving the results, and the client cannot achieve the predetermined
results.
The types of evaluation include formative evaluation and summative
evaluation. Formative evaluation is an evaluation that is carried out after
each action. Meanwhile, summative evaluation is an evaluation that is
carried out after the end of the nursing procedure in full. To make it
easier for nurses to evaluate or monitor client progress, SOAP
components are used. S is subjective data, O is objective data, A is the
analysis or interpretation of subjective and objective data, and P is
continued nursing planning or planning.
NURSE CARE DOCUTATION
8.1 Introduction
Health Services are contained in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia
(UU RI) of 2014 Number 38 stating that nursing care is an integral
component in a health service, which is based on nursing science in the
form of counseling individuals, families, groups and communities in a
healthy or unhealthy state. The main responsibility of a nurse is to
provide professional care services in the form of nursing activities,
starting with a comprehensive investigation process, making diagnoses,
making plans, taking action and evaluating nursing activities. Section 1
of section 34 of the Act states that nurses are required to keep records
while performing nursing duties. 2) Record keeping according to
paragraph 1 must be held in accordance with the provisions of the law.
Nursing work is a stage of nursing work that is taught directly to patients
in the health system as a nursing profession according to the principles of
a nurse's knowledge, which pays attention to a sense of humanity and is
based on the needs of patients in solving a health problem. The most
important part of nursing jobs is documentation. Nursing documentation
is a comprehensive, systematic and structured record of the resident's
response to treatment actions, showing the caregiver's responsibility to
the resident during the nursing process (Prabowo, 2016).
8.2 Basic Concepts of Nursing Care
Law No. 38 of 2014 of the Republic of Indonesia Nursing work is the
interaction of the client and the environment to meet the needs and
achieve the goal of increasing the client's independence. Nursing is a
series of processes to meet the needs of clients through systematic and
scientific methods of the evaluation process, determination of nursing
diagnosis and determination of the achievement or goal of nursing care,
planning and implementation as well as evaluation (Suarli and Yahya,
2012). The basic concepts of nursing emphasize a holistic approach,
autonomy, partnership, individual and cultural context in the process of
review, planning, implementation and evaluation. This means that clients
must be actively involved and identify their goals for managing their
problems to be included in the treatment plan. The parenting process
must foster therapeutic relationships, provide counseling, education, and
evidence-based interventions by caregivers. In another sense, the concept
of nursing refers to preventive, treat, and rehabilitation services for
people suffering from diseases or health problems (Beard, 2021)
8.3 Nursing Care Documentation Concept
Concept of nursing documentation 8.3.1 Definition Documentation is
printed material or documents that can be relied on by the authorities as
evidence. Another source states that nurse records are evidence in the
form of writing that is useful for patients, nursing teams, and medical
personnel who carry out medical care based on accurate and complete
written information from nurses in nurses' records about the care of
Wahid and Suprapto, 2012).
8.3.1 Nursing Care Documentation Objectives
Nursing documentation is a communication tool between clients,
families, nursing teams and other health teams, the purpose of which is
to ensure good communication between nurses, protect clients in care
and assist nurses. start organizing nursing work. and responsible for
customer safety. As a statistical reference for rostering, planning of
future facilities and infrastructure, and staff needs, for educational
institutions, can be used as a learning environment and research material
for students in the development of nursing skills; as a data source for
nursing audits; as a measuring tool to evaluate the performance of health
services, documents are used as legal aspects and original evidence that
can be used by nurses in legal matters and to ensure the quality of health
services and care (Setiadi, 2012). The implementation of nursing
documentation is a measuring tool to record, monitor and complete
nursing services provided in hospitals. Indicators of the performance of
nursing staff in providing nursing services can be seen in the
implementation of nursing work documentation. Without nursing
documentation, any nursing care performed by nurses is meaningless in
terms of accountability and responsibility. Nursing documentation is also
one of the efforts to encourage and control the responsibilities of a nurse.
8.3.2 Benefits of Nursing Care Documentation
Documentation of nursing work is very important in many ways,
especially to answer questions about the quality of services based on
documentation, because documentation facilitates the delivery of
services and the resolution of customer problems, is an evaluation
benchmark to improve the quality of services, aspects of communication
and communication lines between nurses and clients or families, other
health workers, so as to form good coordination and avoid duplication,
which is legally invalid and effective as an official document and has
legal value or legitimacy in the nursing service system, so that when
legal problems arise, documentation is evidence that can be used in
court, educational training and documentation has educational value
because the content is the chronology of nursing practice, which is a
learning reference for nursing students. Documented information can be
used as a reference or reimbursement for clients, in terms of
documentation research serves as material or research objectives in the
development of the nursing profession, in terms of nursing documents
can be used as an indicator in accreditation as an indicator in the
evaluation of nursing services in hospital accreditation.
8.3.3 Principles of Nursing Care Documentation
The principle of documentation, recording is carried out immediately
after the initial assessment or at each stage of treatment, which records
the patient's response to important information or data and ensures the
accuracy of all recorded data so that the existing information or data
must be objective. Accurately document when a client's condition is in
place or when a patient's condition changes or a new issue arises. Avoid
the same documentation because every patient has different problems.
Avoid spelling ambiguous terms in nurses' notes. Write with ink, not
pencil. If there are typos, they must be crossed out and replaced with the
correct ones and signed on each document. Include the time, signature,
and real name of the author. Each nursing document must be readable by
all members or teams of healthcare workers.
8.3.4 Nursing Process Documentation
1. Study Documentation
The Assessment process is the first step in the nursing process and is
a systematic process of collecting data from various sources to
evaluate and identify the health status of clients. Records of nurse
assessment results are in the form of data consisting of current
patient health history, past patient health history, and family health
history. Data on patients' health conditions are comprehensively
reviewed including biological, psychological, social, spiritual and
cultural conditions. After the assessment results are collected, the
data is grouped and interpreted and documented.
According to Ermawati Dalami (2011), the type of assessment
consists of: a. Initial Assessment Documentation
Initial assessments are documented as data sources (databases)
developed for general use by an agency, for specific use in
specialized care units, or for specific types of client populations.
The form of data sources helps in structuring the client's Health
History and documenting the results of physical examinations.
b. Advanced Assessment Documentation
Follow-up assessments, reassessments, and reassessments are
documented in client development notes or on appropriate
sheets. This data can be categorized as supporting data or
developed data.
c. Supporting Data Documentation
Supporting data is data that has been reviewed or data that has
been collected previously and then documented to show
continuous monitoring of the client's health status and problem
solving.
d. Documentation Developed data
Nurses document relevant data developed in progress notes to
support nursing assessments of clients' health status.
e. Specific Assessment Documentation
Documentation of special assessments is carried out When
special measurement tools are incorporated into the clinical
decision-making process, their use should always be documented
in the clinical record.
2. Nursing Care Diagnosis Documentation
Nursing Diagnostic Documentation is the decision-making stage of a
nursing process. Writing a nursing diagnosis includes client
problems or problems that are actual, risky, or prosperous. Decision-
making in the form of nursing problems must be supported by data
available to the client, both in the form of major and minor data and
supporting data. The use of nursing diagnosis is a guide to make
progress records.
3. Action Plan Documentation
The Nursing Action Plan includes three things including: a.
Nursing diagnosis
Nursing diagnosis should be a priority for caring for clients. This
must directly concern the situation that threatens the client's life.
b. Outcome Criteria
Each nursing diagnosis must have at least one outcome criterion.
The outcome criteria can be measured with expected goals that
reflect the client's concerns.
c. Nursing Action Plan
The act of nursing is to obtain independent responsibility,
especially by the nurse who is carried out in conjunction with the
medical program based on the client's problem and the help the
client receives is the expected result. Each client problem and
expected outcome is at least two action plans.
4. Nursing Care Implementation Documentation
Nursing Planning and Action is a stage in the nursing process based
on the actual problems of the client. The purpose of the Action
documentation is to find exactly the picture of the nursing
intervention which includes: a. Therapeutic interventions
Therapeutic treatment is immediate nursing care according to the
client's circumstances. More than one nursing plan must be
worked on seriously according to the priority of the problem in
diagnosing nursing.
b. Monitoring/observation interventions
This process requires the nurse's observation acumen including
proper evaluation skills. A program that is more than a highly
determined client's health. Nurses must see more good and bad
developments from clients such as: maintenance of vital signs,
nursing diagnoses, nursing therapeutic measures, medical
therapy and others.
Intervention documentation identifies why something happened to
the client, what happened, when, how, and who intervened.
5. Nursing Care Evaluation Documentation
Evaluation statements need to be documented in progress notes,
revised in the treatment plan or included in specific summaries and
in implementation or planning. Guidelines for documenting
evaluations are as follows:
a. Before the conclusion of the evaluation with data that supports
the assessment of the nurse.
b. Follow the documentation of the nursing intervention with a
formative evaluation statement describing the client's rapid
response to the nursing intervention or nursing procedure.
c. Using statement Evaluation Summative When
The client is transferred to another facility or
discharged/the patient recovers.
d. Summative evaluation of each expected outcome is identified on
the client's nursing plan.
e. Write an evaluation statement that reflects the client's
developmental state against the objectives.
f. Through an assessment or modification of the intervention,
initiate and document the nurse's response to change the client's
condition.
MODEL OF NURSING PRACTICE MODEL
9.1 Introduction
Nursing is an effort to provide care that has a humanistic, holistic,
professional nature based on knowledge and tips, established service
standards and based on the code of ethics of the nursing profession,
where nurses can provide care independently and collaboratively
(Kodim, 2018). Nursing practice is a form of professional service that is
part of health services based on nursing tips and knowledge provided to
clients individually, families, groups and communities (Ariga, 2022).
According to Nursalam (2022), there are nursing practice models,
namely;
1. Hospital nursing practice, where nurses have the natural authority
and responsibility to carry out nursing practice in hospitals according
to their abilities and attitudes.
2. Home nursing practice is basically a nursing service that is an
extension of hospital services carried out by hospital nurses and
community nurses.
3. Group nursing practice, a 24-hour nursing service provided by nurses
who open practices with the approach and implementation of
hospital nursing practices in overcoming various nursing problems
faced by the community.
4. Individual nursing practice, nursing services provided by a senior
professional nurse during specific practice hours. This form of
practice is indispensable for people who are far from access to health
care facilities
Along with the development of the times, it is inevitable that there will
be an increase in the demands of client needs, so the nursing world has
also experienced developments in the model of implementing nursing
services. The nursing service model provided by professional nurses
provides satisfaction for both the client and the nurse itself. One of the
efforts made is to change the framework for providing nursing care by
implementing the Professional Nursing Practice Model (MPKP). MPKP
is a model for providing services to clients that provides safe, effective
and efficient services. (Kozier, B, Erb. G & Blais, 1997)
MPKP or professional nursing care model (MAKP) is a nurse framework
that defines 4 elements, namely standards, nursing processes, nursing
education and the MPKP system so that these four elements are
considered in determining a care model. (Dedi, 2020). The success of
nursing care to clients is highly determined by the selection of the
nursing practice model used so that the nursing practice model must be
effective and efficient. Each nursing unit has an effort to select the
appropriate nursing practice model to be used in its nursing unit, by
having consideration for the suitability of the client's classification and
the type of availability of existing nurses, infrastructure, hospital
policies. Where each of these models has advantages and disadvantages
that are considered for each nursing service unit.
9.2 Professional Nursing Practice
Word Health Organization (WHO) in 2010 launched the focus of nursing
practice on primary prevention, health improvement (client, family,
community), self-care, and confidence building. Kusnanto (2013), wrote
that nursing practice has five areas related to health, namely; Health
promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, health restoration,
and care for clients before death.
9.3 Basis for Consideration for Selecting a
Nursing Practice Model
There are six main elements in the selection of a nursing practice model,
(Nursalam, 2022):
1. Vision and Mission
The first basis determines the model of nursing practice for clients by
adjusting to the vision and mission of the care unit and even the
vision and mission of the hospital.
2. Nursing process
The nursing process can be applied in providing care to clients,
where each unit or hospital has client characteristics and the type of
nurses needed that differ according to the client's characteristics.
3. Efficiency and effectiveness
The determination of the model must be based on the cost efficiency
and effectiveness of the smooth implementation of the selected
model in order to produce perfect results.
4. Customer satisfaction
Choose a nursing practice model that can provide satisfaction to
customers, in this case clients, families and the community.
5. Nurse satisfaction and performance
Choose a nursing practice model that can provide satisfaction and
improve nurse performance, not one that can increase the workload
and even have a frustrating impact on nurses in carrying out care.
6. Communication
Professional communication is in accordance with the roles,
functions and responsibilities of nurses to fellow nurses and other
health workers. The nursing practice model is expected to achieve
good interpersonal relationships.
9.4 Characteristics of Professional
Relationships
Professional relationships can affect the model of nursing practice that
will be used, there are several characteristics of these professional
relationships, namely;
1. Oriented to the needs of the client
2. Directed towards the achievement of goals
3. Responsible for resolving client issues
4. Understand the client's condition with its various limitations
5. Providing assessments based on the norms agreed upon between
nurses and clients
6. Obliged to help clients to be able to be independent gradually
7. Building relationships based on trust
8. Work by holding the principles of nursing ethics, one of which is
maintaining the confidentiality of the client's health, using
information only for the benefit and with the consent of the client
9. Using effective communication in meeting client needs
9.5 Models of Nursing Practice
9.5.1 Functional Nursing Practice Model
A nursing practice model that takes into account the division of tasks
according to the type of work performed. The person in charge in this
model is the nurse who is in charge of the specific action performed. A
nurse can perform two or more types for all clients present in the unit.
There is a lack of professional nurses, so many nursing assistants are
recruited. They are trained at a minimum on how to take care of them,
taught simple and repetitive tasks such as injecting, measuring blood
pressure, measuring temperature, treating wounds and so on. Example:
Nurse A is in charge of providing treatment and nurse B is in charge of
treating wounds, and Nurse C is in charge of preparing instruments or
carrying out the needs of the client (Nursalam, 2022)
Figure 9.1: Functional Nursing Practice Model (Nursalam, 2022)
Advantages:
1. Emphasis on efficiency, clear division of tasks and good supervision
2. Very good for hospitals that lack manpower
3. Senior nurses perform managerial duties and junior nurses perform
direct care to clients
4. Make it easier for the head of the room to supervise staff or students
who practice for certain skills.
Debilitation:
1. No satisfaction for clients or nurses
2. Nursing services are fragmented or not possible to perform nursing
holistically
3. Nurses only see nursing care as a skill.
9.5.2 Team Nursing Practice Model
A nursing practice model conducted by a group of nurses to a group of
clients (2-3 teams per group) led by registered and experienced nurses
who are knowledgeable in their field. The person in charge in this model
is the team leader. The division of tasks in groups is carried out by the
group leader or team leader who can use various leadership techniques,
the importance of effective communication to ensure the sustainability of
the nursing plan. In addition, the Team Leader is responsible for
directing his members before the task and receiving reports on the
progress of client nursing services and assisting team members in
completing tasks if they encounter difficulties. This model of nursing
practice is commonly used in inpatient, outpatient, emergency
departments. (Nursalam, 2022)
Figure 9.2: Team Nursing Practice Model (Nursalam, 2022)
Advantages:
1. Facilitate comprehensive nursing services
2. Enables the achievement of the nursing process
3. Conflicts or differences of opinion between staff can be suppressed
through team meetings
4. This is an effective way to learn
5. Enable the ability of different team members to be united safely and
effectively.
6. Providing satisfaction to team members
Debilitation:
1. Team meetings take time so that in busy situations team meetings are
canceled or rushed, so that communication and coordination between
team members are disrupted so that the smooth running of tasks is
hampered
2. Unskilled and inexperienced nurses tend to depend on or take refuge
in capable team members or team leaders
3. Accountability in the team is blurred
4. Less effective if poorly set up
9.5.3 Case Nursing Practice Model
The case method is a method in which the nurse is responsible for
providing care according to the needs of the client during his or her
service, the ratio of one nurse to one client. Clients are cared for by
different nurses for each shift and there is no guarantee that clients will
be cared for by the same nurse the next day. The person in charge in this
model is the nurse manager. In this model, the nurse provides
comprehensive nursing care to a client so that they know what to do with
the client well, so that the client feels satisfied and feels safer because he
knows the nurse who is responsible for him. With this model, all nursing
staff are required to have professional quality and require a large number
of professional nursing staff. This model is very suitable for use in
isolation rooms or intensive rooms such as ICCU rooms, ICU HCU,
hemodialysis and others. In this model, nursing care is carried out based
on the view that for the complete resolution of nursing cases based on
various available resources (Nursalam, 2022).
Figure 9.3: Case Nursing Practice Model (Nursalam, 2022)
Advantages:
1. Nurses better understand case-by-case (comprehensive nursing)
2. Managerial evaluation system made easy
3. Motivating nurses to always be with clients during their duties
4. Overall task satisfaction is achievable
Debilitation:
1. The nurse in charge has not been identified
2. It takes a lot of energy and has the same basic abilities
3. The workload is high especially if the number of clients is large so
that simple routine tasks are missed.
9.5.4 Primary Nursing Practice Model
Primary nursing is a method of providing nursing care in which
professional nurses are responsible and responsible for the client's
nursing care for 24 hours/day, from the time the client enters and leaves
the hospital. This model can encourage the practice of nurse
independence, there is clarity between the planner and the
implementation of nursing care. There is a very strong and continuous
relationship between clients and nurses (Nursalam, 2022). The person in
charge in this model is the primary nurse (PP). Responsibilities include
client assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of nursing
care from the moment the client enters the hospital until the client is
declared home, this is the main task of the PP assisted by an associate
nurse (PA). PP coordinates all care activities provided to clients and
communicates them with fellow nurses and other health workers. In
addition, PP plays a role as a health educator, advocate, decision maker
and continuity in nursing care (Sumijatun, 2017)
This primary nursing will create an opportunity to provide
comprehensive nursing care, where nursing care is client-oriented.
Assessment and preparation of the client's nursing care plan under the
responsibility of the primary nurse, and the associate nurse who will
implement the nursing care plan in nursing actions. The Primary Nursing
Care Model requires certain qualifications because PP must be
professional nurses (Register Nurses) who take care of clients starting
from assessment, diagnosis, making plans, implementing and evaluating.
In the implementation of PP activities, it is assisted by PA. So the role of
PA is to assist during the implementation of actions. PP will take care of
4 – 6 clients/clients for 24 hours (Maria Bakrie, 2017)
Figure 9.4: Primary Nursing Practice Model (Nursalam, 2022)
Advantages:
1. Nurse autonomy increases, as motivation, responsibility and
responsibility increase
2. Ensuring continuity of nursing and holistic care
3. Increased nurse-client relationships
4. There are clear responsibilities and responsibilities
5. This method supports professional services
6. Creating good collaboration
Debilitation:
1. The required costs are expensive because more professional nurses
are used
2. Assistant nurses, feel that they do not have authority so that it can
cause misunderstandings in communication.
3. Nurses may not have enough control of the case so they cannot
conduct a proper assessment or prepare a treatment plan
appropriately.
9.5.5 Modular Nursing Practice Model
This practice model is a combination of the primary model and the team
model. The organization of nursing services or care carried out by
professional nurses, namely PP and non-professionals, namely PA for a
group of clients from admission to the hospital until they go home, is
called total or total responsibility. For this method, a nurse who is
knowledgeable, skilled and has the ability to lead is needed. Ideally, 2-3
nurses for 8-12 clients (Maria Bakrie, 2017). All of the above models can
be used to organize nursing services/care according to the situation and
conditions of the room, the number of nurses and the ability of existing
nurses. The number of nurses must be balanced according to the number
of clients. In addition, the existing categories of nursing education need
to be considered in accordance with the duties and responsibilities that
will be imposed (Dedi, 2020).
Team activities as a unit have a holistic view of each client's needs, care
is provided from the time the client enters the hospital until the client
goes home. The advantage of the modular method is that the quality of
nursing services increases because clients receive comprehensive nursing
services according to the client's treatment needs. Not many registered
nurses (nurses) are used so that costs become more effective. Even if the
provision of nursing care using this method is carried out by two to three
nurses, the greatest responsibility remains on the professional nurse.
Professional nurses have an obligation to guide and train non-
professionals. If a professional nurse as a team leader in modular nursing
does not enter, the duties and responsibilities can be replaced by another
professional nurse who acts as a team leader.
Figure 9.5: Modular Nursing Practice Model (Maria Bakrie, 2017)
Advantages:
1. The team supports group development and productivity
2. Nursing care is provided comprehensively
3. Improved continuity and coordination of care
4. Increased client satisfaction
5. Cost-effective
Debilitation:
1. Few registered nurses are used to address unexpected client
conditions.
2. Experience and skills of a team leader are required.
3. The right mix of skills is required.
9.6 The Four Pillars of MPKP
9.6.1 Pillar 1 with a nursing management approach
Planning; formulation of vision, mission, philosophy, policies and short-
term, daily, monthly, and yearly plans); organizing by compiling
organizational structures, service schedules and client allocation lists;
Direction of delegation activities, supervision, creating motivation, time
management, effective communication throughout nursing service
activities to clients.
9.6.2 Pillar 2 with HR reward system
This pillar focuses on human resources; the process of receipt, job
selection, orientation, work assessment and nursing staff.
9.6.3 Pillar 3 with a professional relationship approach
This third pillar is professional relationships, both internal and external.
Internal professional relationships, namely between health workers,
between nurses themselves. External professional relationship, namely
the relationship between the giver and the recipient of the service
(client).
9.6.4 Pillar 4 with a nursing care management approach
Pillar four focuses on providing nursing care by implementing the
nursing process.
9.7 Activities in MPKP
Nurse activities in the nursing care model room with a team model
(Ali Maghfuri, 2015)
9.7.1 Weigh Accept or Pass Client
Weighing or passing is a routine activity as a form of client handover
managed between one shift and another before and after the nurse carries
out her duties. Weighing and accepting is carried out to find out the
client's condition carefully according to the current client's condition. In
the pass, some important information will be conveyed about the actions
that will be and have been taken, and can provide a broader clarity that
cannot be described in writing in the report writing activity.
The pass activity should be carried out after the nurse reads the previous
guard shift report or resume report, so that when the pass activity is
carried out, the nurse already has an idea of the condition of the client
being delivered. Client pass activities should be carried out by nurses
who are directly responsible for providing nursing care to nurses who
will be responsible for providing care on the next shift. This is intended
to avoid forgetfulness or mistakes in the service activities that will be
provided to the client. In the team assignment method, passes can also be
made by the team leader to the next team leader.
The pass activity should be followed by the head of the room, the team
leader and all nurses who are on duty at that time and who will be on
duty. This is intended to be able to provide clear (real) information about
the client's situation and conditions and make it easier to receive the
overflow of tasks, as well as as input material when carrying out the pre-
conference. In addition to the activity of weighing and receiving clients,
it is generally also followed by weighing and receiving goods/tools,
medicines, money and so on. At the time of this activity, what needs to
be conveyed is the number and condition of goods or tools at the time the
pass is carried out. In order for the weighing and acceptance activities to
be accounted for, there must be written evidence signed by both parties.
9.7.2 Pre Conference
Pre Conference is an activity carried out to prepare for service activities
at the beginning of the service shift. This activity is very effective in
discussing activity plans that require feedback or special responses,
meaning that the response is less ethical if delivered in front of the client
when the consideration is carried out. During the pre-conference
activities, all participants can freely express their opinions. This activity
should be carried out briefly so as not to interfere with the smooth
running of nursing services. This activity is under the responsibility of
the head of the room or the team leader who has been determined.
9.7.3 Middle Conference
Middle conference is an activity to discuss activities that have been
carried out in the middle of the service time, this activity is intended to
get an early evaluation of the nursing care that is being carried out and
improve planning if necessary. This activity is usually carried out briefly
on the sidelines of activities attended by the team leader and its
members.
9.7.4 Post Conference
At this stage, the activity focuses on the discussion of the actions that
have been implemented and the next program plan. Generally, this
activity is carried out before the weighing and receiving activity in the
next shift. This activity was attended by all nurses and room heads as the
person in charge.
9.7.5 Implementation of Foster Care Activities
At this stage of the activity, nurses carry out nursing care activities
starting from assessment, planning, implementation to evaluation
activities. At this stage, the team leader or room head can carry out his
managerial activities, such as supervision of the implementation of care,
coordination with other health teams. Furthermore, one of the existing
assignment methods will be discussed, on this occasion the team nursing
care will be discussed, considering that this method is widely applied in
several hospitals, especially hospitals in the regions.
9.8 Characteristics of Professional Nursing
Practice
There are 6 characteristics of professional nursing practice (Ariga, 2022):
1. Otoritas
A nurse has authority according to her expertise. This will affect the
parenting process through professional roles.
2. Accountability
A nurse has responsibilities to clients, herself, and the profession,
and has responsibilities in accordance with applicable legal
provisions. Making decisions related to parenting.
3. Independent Decision Making
A nurse according to her authority can make decisions based on solid
knowledge and use a scientific approach. This is expected to solve
the client's problem.
4. Collaboration
A nurse can collaborate, both cross-sectoral and cross-program, by
establishing working relationships across various disciplines. This is
done to help solve the health problems that the client is experiencing.
5. Defense or support
A nurse can act to fulfill the client's right to quality nursing care by
intervening for the client's benefit in addressing her health problems.
Nurses can also deal with other parties more broadly.
6. Facilitate
A nurse has the ability to empower clients in an effort to improve
their health by maximizing the potential of the organization and the
client system with families in nursing care.
EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING PRACTICE
10.1 Concept of Evidence-Based Practice
In the last few decades, nurses have been part of a movement of change.
The direction of nursing education since the 1960s has established
nursing as an applied science and brought this profession to the era of
knowledge. In the 1990s, knowledge was just seen as insufficient to
influence better patient outcomes. It is necessary to change the new
knowledge into a form that is more clinically useful and can be applied
effectively in the context of the nursing system and has an impact on
health (Stevens, 2013).
Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to health care
that integrates the best evidence from a study with clinical expertise and
patient preferences and values to make the best decisions about patient
care (Melnyk & FineoutOverholt, 2023). Evidence-based nursing
practice has been described as an ideal problem-solving approach as well
as the best evidence-based practice resulting from a well-designed
research project (Abuadas, 2021).
Evidence is a collection of facts that are believed to be true. External
evidence is obtained through rigorous research (e.g. randomized
controlled trials [RCTs] or predictive studies) and is intended to be
generalized and used in other settings. An important question when
implementing this external evidence is whether clinicians can achieve
the same outcomes as their patients achieved in the studies they
reviewed. In other words, whether the research findings can be translated
into a real clinical setting with the same outcomes.
Instead, internal evidence is obtained through the initiation of practices
such as QI. Researchers generate new knowledge through rigorous
research and EBP provides clinicians with processes and tools to
translate external evidence into clinical practice and integrate it with
internal evidence collected from patients in a hospital or health system to
improve healthcare, patients, and out-of-cost outcomes (Melnyk &
Fineout-Overholt, 2023).
The evidence-based form of nursing is important for nurses as well as the
nursing profession because this practice provides several broad benefits
such as assisting nurses in building a body of science, minimizing the
gap between education, research, and nursing practice, standardizing
nursing practice, increasing patient clinical output, improving nursing
quality, and lowering healthcare costs (Abu-Baker et al., 2021).
Several research studies in various countries show that the application of
evidence-based approaches is a complex activity and the implementation
of evidence-based practices is slow and inconsistent (Abuadas, 2021).
For Indonesia, the application of evidence-based nursing practice for the
time being is still not optimal or still relatively low even though quite a
lot of nursing research results have been produced from both educational
and service institutions (Irmayanti, Malini & Murni, 2019).
10.2 Perbedaan Evidence-based Practice,
Research, dan Quality Improvement
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is different from research or Quality
Improvement (QI). Research uses a rigorous scientific process to produce
new knowledge. QI or quality improvement is a systematic approach to
understand the processes towards the desired patient outcome. In
general, QI uses the Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) model to try to
implement new processes to evaluate how they affect outcomes in the
health care system.
EBP uses a seven-step process that includes a combination of rigorous
critical appraisal and synthesis of a Body Of Evidence (BOE), clinical
expertise, and patient and family preferences or values, to make the best
decision regarding patient care (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023).
The following is a brief description of the seven steps in the EBP
(Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2023) and will be explained in more detail
in the next section:
1. Fostering a spirit of inquiry (questioning) in an EBP environment
and culture
2. Asking clinical questions in PICOT format
3. Systematically searching and gathering the best and most relevant
evidence
4. Critically evaluate evidence
5. Integrate the best evidence with clinical expertise and valuable
preferences from patients/families to make the best clinical decisions
6. Evaluate outcomes from practice decisions or changes based on
evidence
7. Disseminate externalities
10.3 Stages of Evidence-Based Practice
Evidence-based practices or better known as EBPs contribute to
improving patient care and outcomes. There are seven stages in EBP
where the first stage is referred to as stage zero because this stage is the
foundation of EBP, so the numbering of stages will start from zero (0) to
six (Melnyk et al., 2010).
1. Step 0 (Zero)/Beginning: Cultivating a spirit of questioning
(inquiry).
At this stage, the nurse has started asking something related to
treatment. Nurses begin to have curiosity about something that needs
to be studied more deeply. An example of a question is for example
in a patient with head trauma, how the supine position affects
intracranial pressure compared to raising the head of the bed 300.
Without this spirit of inquiry, the next stage in EBP is impossible.
2. Step one: Ask clinical questions in PICOT format.
The inquiry or question in this format takes into account the patient
population (P), the intervention or area of specialization (I), the
comparison group or intervention (C), the outcome (O), and the time
(T). The PICOT format provides an efficient framework for
electronic database searches to find relevant articles for the clinical
question.
One example question in PICOT format is as follows: "In acute care
hospitals (patient-P population), how does the presence of a rapid
reaction team (intervention-I) compared to the absence of a rapid
reaction team (comparator-C) affect the number of cardiac arrest
events (O-outcome) over a three-month period (T-time)?
3. Step two: Find the best proof.
The use of questions in the PICOT format will make the search for
evidence more efficient. The PICOT format helps identify key words
or phrases in a row and then combine them.
For the example above, the key word is "rapid reaction team",
followed by "cardiac arrest", and then it can be followed by other
words in the PICOT question. The final step in the search is to
combine the search results and make the search effective with certain
criteria such as "human subject" or "Indonesian" to limit the final
search results.
4. Step three: Critically assess the evidence.
After obtaining selected articles for review, they are assessed to
determine which ones are most relevant, valid, reliable, and reliable,
and applicable to clinical questions. Some questions that can help in
evaluating the value of a study, for example whether the results of
the study are valid. The validity of the study centers on whether the
research method is rigorous enough to make the findings as close to
the truth as possible. For example, whether the researcher uses
random techniques, whether he uses valid and reliable research
instruments.
The next question in assessing the evidence is what the results of the
study are and whether the results are important. For the intervention
study, the reliability question of this study answered whether the
intervention worked and had an impact on the outcome, and how
likely it was to achieve the same outcome in other similar clinical
practice settings. For qualitative studies, this includes assessing the
research approach in accordance with the study objectives as well as
assessing other aspects of the research such as whether the results
can be confirmed.
Another question that can be used in assessing the evidence is
whether the results of the study helped me (in this case the
researcher) in the care of my patients (in this case the researcher's
patients). Questions related to the implementation of this study
include clinical considerations such as whether the subjects in the
study are similar to the researcher's current patients, whether the
benefits outweigh the risks, feasibility or feasibility, cost-
effectiveness, and patient preferences and values. After assessing
each study, the next step is to synthesize the studies to determine
whether they lead to similar conclusions, which then supports a
decision or change in the EBP.
5. Step four: Integrate the evidence with clinical expertise and patient
preferences and values.
Research evidence alone is not enough to justify a change in nursing
practice. Clinical expertise, based on patient assessments, laboratory
data, and data from the outcomes of management programs, as well
as patient preferences and values are important components of EBP.
There is no magic formula for how to weigh each of these elements,
the implementation of EBP is greatly influenced by clinical and
institutional variables.
A simple example is the strong evidence that the incidence of
depression can decrease in patients with burns if the patient attends a
specific therapy session before being discharged from the hospital.
Nurses want to implement it, but the hospital states that there are
constraints in the budget for this. This kind of thing can hinder the
implementation of an EBP.
6. Fifth step: Evaluate the outcome of a practice decision or change
based on evidence.
It is important to monitor and evaluate any changes in outcomes after
the implementation of the EBP so that positive impacts can be
supported and negative impacts can be remedied. Interventions based
on rigorous experimental studies do not necessarily have the same
impact. Monitoring the effects of an EBP change on nursing quality
and outcomes can help clinicians identify gaps in implementation
and more precisely identify which patients benefit the most.
Monitoring can help find the cause why the results differ from what
was reported in the research literature review.
7. Sixth step: Disseminate the EBP results.
Clinicians are able to achieve excellent outcomes for patients with
EBP, but often this success experience is not shared with colleagues
or healthcare organizations. This can result in duplication of
unnecessary efforts. Some ways to disseminate or disseminate
successful change initiatives are through presentations within
internal institutions, at the regional level, national conferences,
journal publications, and also professional newsletters.
10.4 Evidence-Based Practice Model
Nurses and other healthcare professionals have developed several EBP
models that help in the implementation of EBP. These models serve as a
guide that integrates the latest research to create the best patient care
practices. In addition to assisting nurses in integrating credible evidence
into their care practices, these EBP models can help ensure the overall
implementation of EBP projects and the optimal use of time, including
the use of existing resources.
It must be understood that there is no single EBP model that meets the
needs of every hospital or every patient condition. Nurses need to
understand how to identify the EBP model that best suits their individual
EBP needs. Below is a brief explanation of some of the existing EBP
models (Christenbery, 2017).
10.4.1 Model Iowa
The Iowa model focuses on the entire health care system including
patients, practitioners, infrastructure, to implement, and guide practice
decisions based on the best available research and evidence. This model
is widely used in the United States and was developed about 27 years
ago and has passed significant reviews and revisions in 2017.
10.4.2 Model Stettler
The Stetler model was first developed in 1976 and was updated in 1994
and in 2001. This model allows practitioners to assess how research
findings and other relevant evidence are implemented in clinical practice.
This model examines how to use evidence to create change that drives
patient-centered care.
10.4.3 Ottawa Research Usage Model
The Ottawa Model is an interactive model that describes research as a
dynamic process of decisions made and actions taken by interconnected
stakeholders.
10.4.4 Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health
Services (PARiHS) Framework
The PARiHS framework provides a method for implementing research
into practice by exploring the interactions between three key elements:
evidence, context, and facility.
10.4.5 ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-based practice) Star
Model of Knowledge Transformation
As a framework, the ACE Star model helps to systematically integrate
the best evidence into practice. The model includes five main stages that
describe the forms of knowledge in relative order. Research moves
through a cycle combined with other forms of knowledge before
interaction into practice occurs.
10.4.6 Advancing Research and Clinical practice through Close
Coordination (ARCC)
ARCC increases the use of EBP among advanced practitioner nurses as
well as nurses who provide direct care. The model can also identify a
network of stakeholders that support the EBP project. In addition, this
model emphasizes the readiness of health service organizations and the
identification of facilities and barriers.
10.4.7 Model Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice
(JHNEBP)
The JHNEBP model applies a problem-solving approach to clinical
decision-making. This model is designed to meet the EBP needs of the
nurse provider directly by using a simple three-step process, known as
PET, including: Practice question, Evidence, and Translation. Practice
questions are the identification of EBP questions using a team approach.
Evidence in this case is a team that searches, assesses, provides a value
for the strength of the evidence, and explains the quality of the evidence,
as well as makes a recommendation for practice based on the strength of
the evidence. At the translation stage, feasibility or feasibility is
determined, action plans are prepared, and changes are implemented and
evaluated. The findings were presented to health organizations and the
wider nursing community.
This model places emphasis on individual use. A well-developed toolkit
provides nurses with guidance on question development, evidence
assessment scales, and assessment guides for various forms of evidence.
10.4.8 Knowledge-To-Action Process (KTA) Framework
The KTA model is a model of knowledge creation and knowledge
integration through several important stages. This model can be well
adapted for individual, team, and healthcare organization use. The model
is also based on the theory of planned actions, which makes it adaptable
to a variety of settings. In addition, this model also breaks down the
knowledge-action process into manageable parts.
10.5 Evidence-Based Practice Model
The results of the study by Speroni et al. (2020) show that more than
90% of nursing research leaders in America state that their hospitals have
used the EBP model and put its findings into practice. The most
commonly used models are the Iowa model, the Johns Hopkins Nursing
Evidence-based Practice model, and the Advancing Research and
Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration model. EBP models are
most commonly used for education and training, nurse residency
programs, and research. EBP findings are implemented through policy
and procedure processes, shared governance structures, and EBP
processes.
Evidence-based practice or EBP directs practice towards better patient
outcomes. Therefore, EBP is an important aspect of nursing care. EBP is
widely encouraged at the organizational, national, and international
levels. Nurses need to understand important contextual knowledge about
EBP to be able to produce the best evidence in practice. All nurses,
especially leaders in nursing, are responsible for evaluating the EBP and
how the findings of nursing research are implemented and translated into
practice.
Some of the factors for the success of implementing EBP in health care
include the competence and understanding of nurses regarding the basic
principles of EBP. Opportunities for improvement and improvement
should be provided to nursing staff so that they can take part in
development tasks such as evidence synthesis and implementation of
projects that facilitate EBP, as well as improve practices and other
activities that affect patient outcomes.
The World Health Organization (2017), said that there are 10 factors for
the success of implementing and maintaining EBP infrastructure. Six of
them are related to management, including organizational culture,
governance, mentorship, results feedback, visible and supportive
leadership, and continuous evaluation. The success of EBP's
infrastructure includes library resources, clinical librarians,
dissemination tools, multidisciplinary cooperation and educational
programs.
NURSING EDUCATION SYSTEM
11.1 Introduction
Nursing has a very broad essence because it touches almost all segments
of humanity and humanity as an impact on the health status experienced
both actual and potential. Nursing must be able to view human beings as
a whole and unique, in addition to that nursing must have the ability to
apply complex science and technology as an effort to meet the needs of
patients/individuals. Nursing itself is a profession that has a strong
educational foundation with a clear "body of knowledge" so that it can
be developed as high as possible. Thus, the nursing profession will be
able to actively participate in the Health Service System in Indonesia in
an effort to advance health services in the community which will
ultimately also improve nursing professionalism. To achieve all this, a
nursing education system is needed that is expected to be able to produce
human resources, namely professional health workers (nurses). To meet
quality nursing resources, nursing education institutions have a very
important role in producing quality graduates and meeting the set
standards.
11.2 General Provisions/Terminology in
Nursing Education
Some general provisions/terminology in the academic text of nursing
education are as follows:
1. Nursing is a form of professional service/care that is an integral part
of health services/care, based on nursing knowledge and tips aimed
at individuals, families, groups, and communities, both healthy and
sick which covers the entire process of human life.
2. Nursing is a science that studies the fulfillment of basic human
needs. Nursing science is a synthesis of biomedical, psychological,
social, behavioral, anthropology, and transcultural sciences. The field
of work and the phenomenon that is the object of nursing study is the
deviation or unfulfillment of basic human needs (bio-psycho-social-
cultural and spiritual) starting from the level of the whole individual
covering the entire life cycle, which is also reflected in the
unfulfilment of basic needs at the level of functional organ systems,
to the molecular level, to the level of society.
3. Nursing education is an educational process organized in Higher
Education to produce various graduates of Associate Nursing
Experts, Nurses, Masters in Nursing, Specialist Nurses, and
Doctorates in Nursing.
4. Types of nurse education are academic, vocational, and professional
education. Academic education is an education that is directed
mainly at mastering science. Vocational education is an education

nurse. Professional education is education directed to achieve
nursing professional competence.
5. A nursing education student, hereinafter referred to as a nursing
student, is someone who has been registered and participated in
professional academic activities at Higher Education.
6. Professional services are professional nursing services that use
scientific methods to meet basic human needs due to physical and
mental weaknesses, limited knowledge, and lack of willingness to
carry out daily life activities independently. It is given holistically
and comprehensively, covering physiological, psychological, social,
spiritual, and cultural needs in a humane and caring manner.
7. A nurse is someone who has graduated from higher education in
nursing both at home and abroad that is recognized by the Indonesian
government in accordance with laws and regulations and is
registered.

completed a Master's degree in the Master of Nursing program.
11. Specialist nurses are Nurses who have completed Nursing Specialist
education
12. A Doctor of Nursing is a professional Nurse who has completed a
doctorate of nursing education.
13. Lecturers are professional educators and scientists whose main task
is to facilitate, develop, and disseminate science, technology, and the
arts through education, research, and community service in the field
of nursing.
14. Nursing education standards are the minimum criteria for
educational components that must be possessed by nursing higher
education institutions consisting of nursing professional education
standards.
15. Competency standards are the minimum competencies that must be
achieved in nursing education that include knowledge, attitudes, and,
skills.
16. Competence is a set of intelligent actions full of responsibility that a
person has as a condition to be considered capable by the community
in carrying out tasks in a certain field of work. Competencies consist
of main competencies, supporting competencies, other competencies
that are special and related to the main competencies (Decree of the
Minister of National Education No. 045/U/2002). The elements of
competence consist of a) Personality foundation, b) Mastery of
knowledge and skills, c) Ability to work, d) Attitude and behavior in
working according to the level of expertise based on the knowledge
and skills mastered, and e) Understanding the rules of social life in
accordance with the choice of expertise in work.
17. The competence of Indonesian nurses consists of the competence of
nurse practitioners (associate expert nurses and specialist nurses), the
competence of nurse managers and the competence of nurse
researchers.
18. A Certificate of Competency is a letter of recognition of a nurse's
ability to practice nursing throughout Indonesia after passing the
competency test.
19. Nursing Higher Education Institution is an institution that organizes
nursing education in the form of faculties, departments or study
programs that are part of higher education/university/high
school/institutes and academies.
20. The nursing education curriculum, hereinafter referred to as the
curriculum, is a set of plans and arrangements regarding the
objectives, content, and learning materials, as well as the methods
used as guidelines for the implementation of learning activities to
achieve the goals of nursing education.

written evidence provided by an authorized institution.
24. Registration is the official recording of nursing staff who already
have a nurse competency certificate and have certain other
qualifications and are legally recognized to carry out their
professional practice and/or work
11.3 Development of Nursing Education in
Indonesia
The development of nursing education is currently directed in line with
the development of science and technology, demographic changes in
population in Indonesia, global trends and complex health problems as
well as the demand for complete and quality health services. The 1983
Indonesian National Nursing Workshop was an important momentum for
the development of nursing in Indonesia which established Nursing as a
profession and mandated that all nursing development activities be
directed towards fulfilling professional criteria, including: having
knowledge, being grown in higher education, carrying out
professional/professional services using scientific methods. This
agreement was followed by a shift in various nursing education
regulations that were originally set by the Ministry of Health and
regulated by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Likewise, education
that originally existed at the SPK and D III levels was developed into
higher education at the Strata 1/profession level.
The first provider of higher education was the Nursing Study Program,
Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia in 1985. The opening of
the study program was followed by several state universities such as
Padjadjaran University Bandung in 1994, in 19971998 it was established
at Gadjah Mada University, Airlangga University, Diponegoro
University, Hasanuddin University, Brawijaya University, University
North Sumatra; as well as other private universities such as the
University of Muhammadiyah Jakarta and STIK St. Carolus Jakarta.
Meanwhile, the education of the Nursing Academy with the third
diploma education program is still a large number to date. At the
beginning of its development, the S-1 Nursing education curriculum was
a unity and integration between academic education and professional
education, whose graduates were given a Bachelor of Nursing degree
abbreviated as S.Kp and recognized as professional nurses.
In 1994, the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of
Indonesia issued Decree Number 310/U/1994 concerning the nationally
applicable curriculum for undergraduate health science programs. In this
curriculum, learning academic and professional aspects are integrated
into a single unit. This curriculum was perfected through Decree number
129/U/1998 which made the Bachelor of Nursing education program
implement the nursing professional education curriculum in 2 (two)
stages, namely the academic stage and the professional stage which are a
unit. At the academic stage, graduates get a Bachelor of Nursing degree
abbreviated as S.Kep., and at the professional stage, graduates get a
professional title of Nurse abbreviated as Ns. Thus, the Bachelor of
Nursing (SKp.) degree as a result of the 1985 and 1994 curriculum, has
the same meaning as the Bachelor of Nursing and Nurses (S.Kep. Ns)
degree as a result of the 1998 curriculum. Meanwhile, SPK education
was gradually closed in 1996. This is a follow-up to the implementation
of the 1982 National Health System and the 1983 national workshop
agreement. The arrangement of types and levels of nursing education that
is good and directed is expected to be used as reference material in
developing the nursing profession in the future. The development of
nursing education levels includes the academic level of master's level
education (S-2), namely the Master of Leadership and Management
Nursing, as well as types of specialist level professional education in
various fields of specialized services that have started since 1998 which
include: Maternity Nursing and Community Nursing, Nursing
Medical Surgery Nursing Soul and
Pediatric Nursing. The development of Doctor of Nursing education for
the doctoral level (S-3) began in 2008 at the Faculty of Nursing,
University of Indonesia and is currently being followed by other nursing
institutions.
Since 2008 PPNI, AIPNI and support and collaborate with the Ministry
of National Education through the Health Profession Educational Quality
(HPEQ) project, updating and rearranging the Indonesian Nurse
Competency Standards, Indonesian Nursing Education Academic
Manuscripts, Nurse Education Standards, Indonesian Nurse Education
Accreditation Form Standards. and all of these standards refer to
Presidential Regulation No. 8 of 2012 concerning the Indonesian
National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) and have been completed
into state documents related to the direction and policy on Indonesian
nursing education. The standards referred to above also refer to the
development of nursing science, the development of the ever-changing
world of work.
11.4 Standards of Nursing Education
The diversity of the quality of nursing graduates nationally encourages
the Association of Indonesian Nurse Education Institutions (AIPNI), the
Association of Indonesian Diploma Three Nursing Education Institutions
(AIPDiKI), and the Indonesian National Nurses Association (PPNI), to
develop educational standards for the fulfillment of quality nurse
resources in fulfilling standardized and quality nursing services. This
activity was facilitated by the Directorate General of Higher Education
of the Ministry of Education and Culture through the Health
Professional Education Quality-Project (HPEQ-Project).
The Indonesian Nursing Education Standards consist of Diploma Three
Education Standards, Nurse Education, Master's Education, Nursing
Specialist Education and Doctoral Education Programs. The Indonesian
Nursing Education Standard is an equalizer of the quality of education
that must be met by Nursing Education Institutions in Indonesia, covering
seven standards, namely:
1. Standard 1 Vision, Mission, Goals, Objectives, and Achievement
Strategies This standard is a reference for excellence in the quality of
the implementation and strategy of the nursing education program to
achieve future goals.
2. Standard 2 Governance, Leadership, Management System, and
Quality Assurance
This standard is a reference for the excellence of the quality of
governance, leadership, management system, and quality assurance
system of nursing education programs as an integrated unit which is
an important key to the success of nursing education programs.
3. Standard 3 Students and Graduates
This standard is a reference for the quality excellence of students and
graduates. Nursing education programs must have a selection system
that is reliable, accountable, transparent and accountable to all
stakeholders. This standard is an effort by the program to provide the
competencies needed by students to become graduates who are able
to compete.
4. Standard 4 Human Resources
This standard is a reference for excellence in the quality of human
resources, as well as how the nursing education program should
obtain and utilize human resources and provide excellent service to
realize the vision, carry out and carry out the mission, and achieve
the goals of the nursing education program.
5. Standard 5 Curriculum, Learning, and Academic Atmosphere This
standard is a reference for excellence in the quality of curriculum,
learning, and academic atmosphere to ensure the quality of the
implementation of nursing education programs.
6. Standard 6 Financing, Facilities and Infrastructure, Clinical Learning
Facilities and Information Systems
This standard is a reference for excellence in the quality of financing,
facilities and infrastructure, including clinical learning vehicles, as
well as information systems that are able to ensure the quality of the
implementation of nursing education programs.
7. Standard 7 Research, Community Service, and Cooperation
This standard is a reference for excellence in the quality of research,
services and/or community service, and cooperation held related to
the development of the quality of nursing education programs.
11.5 Type, Level and Burden of Nursing
Education Study
Nursing education in Indonesia refers to Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning
the National Education System.
1. Types of nursing higher education include:
a. Vocational Education; That is the type of diploma education
according to the level which is directed mainly at the readiness to
apply and master certain nursing skills as a vocational nurse.
b. Academic Education; namely higher education for undergraduate
and postgraduate programs (masters, doctors) which is directed
mainly at mastering and developing the discipline of nursing.
c. Professional Education; namely education directed to be able to
solve science and technology problems in the field of nursing to
be able to make strategic decisions with accountability and full
responsibility for nursing actions under their responsibility.
2. The level of nursing education includes:
a. Diploma Education Three Nursing
b. Nurse Education
c. Master's Education in Nursing
1) Nursing Leadership and Management
2) Nursing Science
d. Nursing Specialist Education consists of:
1) Maternity Nursing Specialist
2) Pediatric Nursing Specialist
3) Medical Surgical Nursing Specialist
4) Psychiatric Nursing Specialist
5) Community Nursing Specialist
6) Critical Care Specialist
7) Geriatric Nursing Specialist
8) Family Nursing Specialist
9) Occupational Health Nursing Specialist
The specialist education mentioned above will develop in
accordance with the needs of the community for nursing services
and the need for knowledge development.
e. Nursing Doctoral Education
3. Study Load
Nursing education is carried out with a semester credit system as
mandated by Law number 20 of 2003 concerning the National
Education System. The burden of nursing education studies for all
levels according to the Decree of the Minister of National Education
No.
232/U/2000 as follows:
a. Diploma Three in Nursing has a study load of 110-120 credits
b. Nurse education has a study load at the academic stage between
144-160 credits, and at the Profession stage has a study load
between 36-50 credits
c. The Master of Nursing has a study load of between 36-50
credits.
d. Nursing Specialists have a study load between 36-50 credits
e. The study load of the doctoral program for participants who have
a master's degree (S2) in the same field is at least 40 credits
scheduled for four semesters with a study duration of ten (10)
semesters. The study load of the doctoral program for
participants with a master's degree (S2) is not in the same field of
at least 52 credits scheduled for five semesters with a maximum
study duration of eleven (11) semesters.
So the nursing higher education system can be described with the
following scheme:

11.8 Nursing Education Graduate Certification
Certification is a sign of proof of the validity of the end of the process, in
this case the nursing education process. Certification of nursing
education graduates is given in the following forms/types:
1. Diplomas are given by universities to graduates who have completed
certain levels including: triple diploma nursing education, nurse
education, Master of Nursing education, nursing specialist nurse
education and nursing doctoral education.
2. A certificate of competence as proof of the completion of the
continuing education program, is given by the Nurse certification
body as a sign that it has passed the nurse competency test.
To provide assurance to the community, that nurse services are provided
by competent nurses need to be proven through competency tests that
have been carried out by authorized institutions. Since 2007, the
competency test system has been developed by professional
organizations (PPNI) for nurses, especially those who will work abroad
and new graduates where the implementation is carried out by the
National Committee for Nurse Competency Tests (KNUKP). With the
issuance of the Ministry of Health Number 1796 of 2011 which regulates
the Registration of Health Workers, including Nurses, every new
graduate must take a competency test to get a Registration Certificate
(STR). STR is a requirement for nurses to practice began in 2013. The
implementation of the competency test based on the regulation of the
minister of health is the authority of the Indonesian Health Workers
Council (MTKI). In carrying out its duties, MTKI collaborates with the
Competency Test Development Institute (LPUK) to develop a system
including competency test questions. Evidence of a nurse's graduation in
the competency test in the form of a Registration Certificate (STR) is
identical to Registered Nurses (RN) abroad.
11.9 Quality Assurance of Nursing Education
In maintaining the quality of graduates (intake, process and output),
every nursing education provider must carry out a good education quality
assurance program Quality assurance programs can be carried out
internally and externally. Internal quality assurance is carried out by
forming an internal quality assurance body, while external quality
assurance can involve independent quality assurance institutions
recognized by the government.
1. Internal audits by educational institutions through the development
of higher education standards at the institutional level refer to
SNPT/SNPTK (for nursing) and SPMI programs.
2. External accreditation by the independent accreditation institution for
health higher education (LAM PTkes) Accreditation by LAM-PT
Kes is carried out by assessing the process and performance as well
as the relationship between the objectives, inputs, processes and
outputs of a university or nursing study program through formative
assessment. The principle of accreditation is Continuous Quality
Improvement.
Meanwhile, the utilization of graduates in various health service and
educational facilities is based on competence, which is then arranged in
the professional nurse career path system.
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS IN NURSING
PRACTICE
12.1 Introduction
Nursing is a professional service/care is a humanistic, comprehensive
approach based on nursing knowledge and tips, based on the real needs
of patients, by mentioning professional standards and nurse ethics as the
main requirement (Nursalam, 2014). According to the Ministry of Health
of the Republic of Indonesia in 2005, nurses play an important role in the
provision of quality health services in clinics/hospitals, because the care
they offer is sourced from a specific bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach
and is applied for 24 hours a day continuously, which is a clear
advantage compared to other health service professions (Christiana,
2019). One of the health services provided by health workers is medical
assistance services, where part of nursing duties also includes nurse work
(Hidayat, 2011). Nurses as a profession, both in terms of quantity and
interaction with patients, have existed longer than other professions, so
their role in improving the quality of services, especially in the field of
nursing, is very crucial (Mubarak, 2009). Nursing care is an approach to
problem-solving that enables nurses to organize and deliver nursing care.
The standards of care listed in the Standards of Clinical Practice of
Nursing consist of five phases of nursing care: 1) Assessment; 2)
Diagnosis; 3) Planning; 4) Implementation; and 5) Evaluation. One of
the benefits of good nursing implementation is to improve the quality
and quality of nursing care (Kozier, 2010). In this study, we will discuss
how to compare the application of nursing care in the evaluation step.
12.2 Professional Standards in Nursing
Practice
The definition of Nursing Standards is: minimum expectations in the
provision of guaranteed, efficient and ethical nursing care. The standard
of care is the responsibility of the nursing profession, to protect residents
from the actions of the nursing profession (Hidayat, 2011).
Nursing work standards are guidelines and measures for the
implementation of nursing work, in order to be in accordance with
professional values, ethics and the principle of responsibility. Standards
are dreamed and achievable levels of performance that are compared to
real work. This is guided by guidelines on what activities are
inappropriate or unacceptable. The Standard of Nursing Practice is a
statement of what a registered nurse needs to practice nursing. Overall,
this standard reflects the values of the nursing profession and explains
what is expected of its members in the nursing profession.
