Abstract:
Performance assessment, which this study focused on documentation, is
implemented to evaluate nurses' performance, especially for completing the nurse
care documentation. This documentation proceed is very important for nursing
practice because it records many things in nursing practice. However, in reality,
there are many nurses, whether they‘ve been worked for a long time either just
worked in time, that still have less knowledge about nurse care documentation.
The purpose of this study is to determine the relation of knowledge level and the
length of nurses’ working with nurse care documentation performance in the
Anwar Medika Hospital, Sidoarjo. The design of this study used nonexperimental:
correlational. The population involved Anwar Medika Hospital’s
nurses which total is 66 samples. The sample is taken by using the total sampling
technique. The instruments used in this study were a questionnaire on the level of
knowledge of nurses about nursing care documentation, a checklist sheet for the
length of work of nurses, and an observation sheet for nurses' performance in
documenting nursing care. Data were analyzed using the Crosstabulation
Correlation Statistical Test. The results showed that the performance of nurses in
documenting nursing care reached 96% (bad category). Of the 17 respondents
with 6-10 years of work and sufficient knowledge, 39% had poor performance and
2.4% had good performance. The result of this study is that the better the level of
knowledge and the longer the nurse's work, the better the nurse's performance in
documenting nursing care. There is a relationship between the level of knowledge
and length of work with the performance of nurses in documenting nursing care in
the inpatient room of Anwar Medika Hospital, Sidoarjo. The implication of the
research result is that it is hoped that the better the level of knowledge and the
longer the nurse's work, the better the nurse's performance in documenting
nursing care.
