THE IMPACT OF WORKLOAD NURSE PERFORMANCE IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT AT MUHAMMADIYAH GAMPING HOSPITAL
Abstract
Background : The prevailing situation in Indonesia now is a discrepancy
between the number of nurses on duty and the number of patients treated.
Various research results show that the workload of nurses in hospitals is
very influential on the performance of a nurse. Either high or low
workload will greatly affect the performance of the nurse, and there is no
exception for nurses in ICU RS PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping.
Method : This research is a causal associative research, which
investigates the influence between quantitative, qualitative, and
combination workload on nurse performance in ICU chamber through
multiple regression tests.
Result and Discussion : Quantitative workload, qualitative workload,
and combination workload simultaneously did not have a significant
effect on nurses' performance in ICU RS PKU Muhammadiyah
Gamping, which was shown by the F count (2,900) <F table (3,806) and
significance (p value (0,079) ≥ 0.05). Partially, the combined workload
gives a significant influence on nurse's performance which is shown by tcount
value (2,213)> t-table (2,179) and significance (p value (0,047) ≤
0,05), while the other workload quantitative and qualitative work has no
significant effect on nurse performance, as indicated by the respective
xviii
value of t-hit (-0.672), (0,994) <t-table (2,179) and significance (p value
(0,515), 0.340) ≥ 0.05). Some factors that cause good nurse performance
are balance of ratio of nurse number and number of patient, conducive
working environment condition, and good team cooperation in
improvement of nursing service in ICU room of PKU Muhammadiyah
Gamping Hospital.
Conclusion : It is necessary to maintain the quality of existing services in
providing nursing care to patients in the ICU.
