Abstract

BACKGROUND: Nursing services are one of the criteria for hospital health care. Nurses are the health care workers who have the most contact with patients. Nurses had relatively limited interaction with patients during the epidemic. As a result, it is necessary to increase caring behavior in service delivery.

AIM: This study aims to determine the effect of caring training on the implementation of caring behavior and work culture of nurses in providing services to COVID-19 patients in an Indonesia’s National Referral Hospital.

METHODS: This study used a quasi-experimental design, with one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study was carried out in Indonesia’s National Referral Hospital. The research was conducted between August and December 2021. The caring training lasted around 4 h. Purposive sampling was used to select the sample, which included as many as 92 persons. The Caring Behaviors Inventory-42 and value culture tools were used to collect data. Questionnaires and observation sheets were utilized to retrieve direct measurement data. The collected data were analyzed using a univariate test and a Wilcoxon test for bivariate analysis.

RESULTS: The average age of nurses was 34 years old, with an average working time of 9 years. There was no significant difference in knowledge between before and after care training (p > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in attitude, work culture, and caring behavior between before and after caring training (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: When nurses provided care to COVID-19 patients in an Indonesian national referral hospital, the caring training had an impact on their behavior and work culture. The hospital should continue a compassionate training program, reinforce it with regulations, monitor assessments, and apply rewords and consequences.
