Pengaruh Faktor Individu dan Faktor Psikologis terhadap Kinerja Perawat Pelaksana di Ruang Rawat Inap Bedah (Kasus Infeksi Nosokomial) di RSUD Dr Pirngadi Kota Medan

Abstract

Based on the data of 2008 - 2009 dr. Pimgadi General Hospital Medan, the incident rate of nosochomial infection in the in-patient ward of its surgery department was 25.4% and in the operation room the rate reached 36.2% of the patients out. It was predicted that one of the factors causing the high incident rate of nosochomial infection is related to the performance of the working nurses and nosochomial infection prevention. The purpose of this explanatory survey was to analyze the influence of personal and psychological factors on the performance of the nurses in preventing the incident of nosochomial infection in the in-patient ward of the surgery department, dr. Pimgadi General Hospital Medan in 2010. The population of this study were all of the 35 nurses working in the in-patient ward of the surgery department and all of them were selected to be the samples (total sampling). The data for this study were obtained through questionnaire-based interview and the data obtained were analyzed through multiple regression tests at a= 0.05. The result of this study showed that statistically the variable of individu factor (age, education, and length of service) had significant influence on the pe,:formance of the nurses in preventing nosochomial infection (p<0. 05), while the variable of sex did not have any influence at all. The psychological factor (perception, attitude, personality and motivation) had significant influence on the performance of the nurses in preventing nosochomial infection (p<0.05). Education was the most dominant influencing variable. The management of dr. Pimgadi General Hospital Medan is suggested 1) to improve the role of Nosochomial Infection Prevention Committee as a facility to develop and control the performance of the nurses in minimizing the case of nosochomial infection in either the patients or the health workers, 2) to make an education and training on nosochomial infection prevention for junior nurses, especially those who are working in the in-patient ward of its surgery department, and 3) to make a standard operational procedure (SOP) on nosochomial infection prevention referring to the SOP issued by the Ministry of Health, the Republic of Indonesia
