Abstract
One of nurse’s efforts to improve self-sufficiency of stroke patients is by implementing the fulfillment of Activity Daily Living (ADL). Fulfillment of ADL will be fulfilled more maximally if caring behavior was also implemented. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between nurse caring behavior and the fulfillment of ADL for ischemic stroke patients at RSUD (General Hospital) Nganjuk. The design of this research was correlation with cross sectional approach. The populations were all nurses in ICU and Soka Room at RSUD Nganjuk (General Hospital) which were 35 respondents. Meanwhile, the samples were taken by total sampling technique. Independent variable in this research was nurse caring behavior, while, the dependent variable was the fulfillment of ADL for stroke patient. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by Spearman Rank test with α = 0.05. The results showed that most of respondents had good caring behavior (25 respondents (71.4%)). There were 25 respondents (71,4%) who did nurse caring of ADL fulfillment in good category. The result of Spearman Rank test showed that p = 0.000 < α (0.05) and r = 0.798, thus, Ha was accepted, which meant that there was a significant correlation between nurse caring behavior and ADL fulfillment for ischemic stroke patient at RSUD Nganjuk (General Hospital). However, if the nurse had good caring behavior, they would develop patience and diligence in providing caring to the patient. Therefore, they would be motivated to serve the patient sincerely, fulfill the needs of feeding, bathing and grooming, toileting, and moving in order to achieve patients’s sufficiency in a short time. Furthermore, it is recommended for health service institutions to optimize caring training program for nurses, thus, nurse’s performance in providing nursing care could improve well. .
