ABSTRAK Sistem jaminan kesehatan nasional di Indonesia baru beroperasi sejak 2014 melalui Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) kesehatan. Dalam pelaksanaannya, pemberian pelayanan kesehatan pada pasien BPJS menggunakan sistem rujukan berjenjang, dimulai dari Fasilitas Kesehatan (FasKes) tingkat pertama, salah satunya yaitu Puskesmas. Hasil studi pendahuluan menunjukkan bahwa program BPJS kesehatan ini, teridentifikasi dapat memengaruhi pemberi pelayanan kesehatan, termasuk salah satunya dapat memengaruhi Kualitas Kehidupan Kerja Perawat/Quality of Nursing Work Life (QNWL) perawat di Puskesmas Kota Bandung. Padahal QNWL tersebut, pada akhirnya sangat memengaruhi komitmen dan kinerja perawat (Gray & Smelzer, 1990). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran QNWL dan mengetahui gambaran faktor demografi beserta pengaruhnya terhadap QNWL. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional survey. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tahun 2017 di 15 Puskesmas Kota Bandung. Data dikumpulkan dengan kuesioner, dan dianalisis menggunakan uji beda 2 mean independen (uji t) dan uji Anova (α=5%). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: 1) perawat di Puskesmas Kota Bandung memiliki nilai QNWL secara keseluruhan dan dimensi-dimensi QNWL yang berada dalam kategori baik. Namun demikian terdapat 3 komponen yang masih bermasalah, yaitu: masih banyaknya tugas non keperawatan, alat dan bahan untuk perawatan pasien yang kurang memadai, tempat perawat/tempat istirahat/loker yang kurang memadai; 2) tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan faktor-faktor demografi (umur (p=0.096), jenis kelamin (p=0.776), status pernikahan (p=0.953), tingkat pendidikan (p=0.183), status kepegawaian (p=0.217), lama bekerja sebagai perawat (p=0.162)) terhadap Quality of Nursing Work Life (QNWL) perawat di Puskesmas Kota Bandung. Implikasi penelitian ini adalah perlu adanya upaya perbaikan komponen-komponen dan faktor-faktor QNWL yang masih bermasalah. Selain itu, perlu adanya upaya peningkatan status kepegawaian perawat kontrak BLUD menjadi PNS atau minimal setara dengan PNS ABSTRACT National health insurance system in Indonesia has been operated since 2014 by the Social Insurance Administration Organization (BPJS). Practically, the provision of health services used tiered referral system, from the first-level health facilities (FasKes), such as Health Center. The result of preliminary studies showed that BPJS program may affect health care providers, including one that can affect the Quality of Nursing Work Life (QNWL) nurses at the health center of Bandung. In the end, QNWL affects the commitment and performance of nurses (Gray &Smelzer, 1990). This research aimed to describe QNWL and to find out demographic factors and its influence on QNWL. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive cross-sectional survey. This research was conducted in 2017 in 15 health centers in Bandung. The data were collected through questionnaire and analyzed using independent sample t Test and Anova. The results of this study showed (1) Nurses at the health center of Bandung were in a good category on both overall scores of QNWL and dimensions. However, there are three components which are still problematic, namely: a huge number of non-nursing tasks, inadequate tools and materials for patients’ care, inadequate nurses’ restrooms/locker rooms; (2) There is no significant effect of demographic factors, age (p=0.096), sex (p=0.776), marital status (p=0162), level of education (p=0.183), employment status (p=0.217), length of nursing experience (p=0.162) to the Quality of Nursing Work Life (QNWL) nurses in 15 health centers in Bandung. The implications of this research are the need to improve problematic components and factors of QNWL. Moreover, improving the employment status of contract nurses BLUD to civil servants or at least equal to PNS is also needed

(1) Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly worldwide. Uniformed nurses have played a critical role during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines; however, uptake of literature is limited. This study assessed the relationship between quality of nursing work life (QNWL) and nurses’ attitudes and practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. (2) Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Participants were recruited from four government hospitals in the Manila metropolitan area of the Philippines. Participants completed three questionnaires in an online survey: a demographic questionnaire, a QNWL questionnaire, and the attitude and practices toward COVID-19 questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, a one-way analysis of variance, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierarchical linear regression were applied for data analysis. (3) Results: The mean age of the participants was 29 years. Most of the participants were single women who were not certified in their specialties. A total of QNWL scores were high, indicating that the participants displayed favorable attitudes and practices in relation to COVID-19. A statistically significant relationship was observed between QNWL, specialty certification, and practices related to COVID-19. Practices related to COVID-19 were a significant predictor of QNWL and one of its subscales, work design. (4) Conclusion: Young adult uniformed nurses in the Philippines have assumed numerous responsibilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing these frontline nurses with comprehensive specialized education and training is crucial.
