Gambaran Interaksi Caring Perawat dengan Pasien

Abstract

The caring interactions between nurses and patients describe the nurses’ attitudes and behaviors in humanistic and relational practices, comfort and clinical nursing practice. Caring interactions between nurses and patients occur during the delivery of care to patients. Caring interactions demonstrated by nurses play an important role in the healing process of patients. The purpose of this study was to describe the caring interactions between nurses and patients. This study was a descriptive study with a survey approach. The samples were 89 nurses at the inpatient wards who were recruited using purposive sampling technique. The data were collected using the Caring Nurse-Patient Interactions (CNPI-23N) tool and analyzed using a univariate analysis presented in the form of the frequency distribution. The results showed that 84.3% of caring interactions between nurses and patients were good, and the remaining 18.7% were adequate. The dimension of comforting care achieved the highest value in which all respondents (100%) were at a good level. Meanwhile, the dimension of humanistic care achieved the lowest value in which 38.2% of respondents were at an adequate level. This study concluded that the caring interactions between nurses and patients had been well implemented. It is expected that the nursing profession and the hospital management maintain the quality of nursing care and increase the knowledge and training. Keywords: caring interactions,nurses
