This study aims to determine the effect
of working period and the level of anxiety of nurses on patient safety during
the Covid-19 pandemic with the emotional intelligence of nurses as a
mediating variable at RSUP DR Sitanala. The
research methodology uses a quantitative approach and the analytical method
used is the three box method and Path Analysis.
Sampling technique using a total sampling of 190 respondents. The results of
the study showed: the nurse's tenure has an influence on the emotional
intelligence of nurses; nurses' anxiety level has an influence on nurses'
emotional intelligence; nurses' tenure has an influence on patient safety;
nurses' anxiety level has an influence on patient safety; nurses' emotional intelligence
has an influence on patient safety; emotional intelligence variable is not a
mediating variable between tenure and patient safety; emotional intelligence
variable is not a mediating variable between the level of anxiety and patient
safety. The findings of this study are that emotional intelligence is not a
mediating variable between tenure and patient safety and emotional
intelligence is not a mediating variable between anxiety levels and patient
safety. Variable working period and level of anxiety have a significant
effect on patient safety. The managerial implication of this research is an
increase in religious activities to form emotional bonds in nurses so that
they behave calmly and patiently, increase insight by strengthening training
programs and refreshment of knowledge so that the application of patient
safety goals can be handled properly and sustainably. |

Introduction
The hospital as one of the health care facilities is part of the health
resources that are indispensable in supporting the implementation of health
efforts. The increase in science and technology in the health sector, the
influence of globalization, public demands for transparency from quality health
services, as well as the existence of various types of health workers with
their respective
scientific
devices that interact with each other make the implementation of health
services in hospitals have characteristics and characteristics. very complex
organization (Permenkes No. 56 of 2014). The basic
essence of the hospital is the fulfillment of the needs and demands of patients
who expect the resolution of their health problems at the hospital. Patients
view that only hospitals are able to provide medical services as an effort to
heal and recover from the pain they are suffering from. Patients expect
services that are ready, fast, responsive and comfortable for patient
complaints.(Aacharya et al., 2011)
In meeting the needs of these
patients, excellent service is the main priority in hospital services.
Excellent service in hospitals will be achieved if all hospital human resources
have special skills, including understanding products in depth, looking
attractive, being friendly and friendly, responsive (sensitive) to patients,
mastering work, communicating effectively and being able to respond to patient
complaints effectively.(Wiens et al., 2020)
professionals (Wike, 2019). Based on data from the IGD Unit Patient in 2021 at
RSUP DR Sitanala, cases with confirmed Covid-19
disease increased sharply with the total number in July-September 2021
amounting to 459 patients. With the increase in the number of Covid-19 cases,
health workers, especially nurses, experienced an increase in anxiety
conditions at work. One of them is the high level of workload caused by
exposure to colleagues, which requires other nurses to stand guard with double
shifts and nurses' anxiety towards patients, whether patients come with
confirmed Covid-19 or not so that in carrying out health services for these
patients nurses are not optimal.(Yusnia et al., 2021)
Nursing services as a form of professional service are an integral part
that cannot be separated from the overall health service effort and also as a
determining factor for the quality and image of the hospital (Asmadi, 2008). The most human resources who interact
directly with patients in hospitals are nurses, so the level of anxiety during
the COVID-19 pandemic that may occur in the nurse's work unit greatly affects
the quality of services carried out by nurses which can be assessed as a good
indicator. or poor quality of service in hospitals (Gatot,
B., 2015).
Patient
safety incidents are still a major problem in hospitals where various services
have risks that threaten patient safety, according to Law no. 44 of 2009
concerning Hospitals, hospitals are institutions that provide health services to
the community so that hospitals are required to always provide services based
on patient safety. According to the 2015 Hospital Patient Safety Committee,
patient safety incidents are a medium for learning from the error process in
hospital services. A patient safety incident is an event or situation that
could cause or have the potential to result in injury that should not have
occurred. Patient safety incidents in hospitals have different types consisting
of: Potential Injury Events (KPC), Near Injury Events (KNC), Non Injury Events
(KTC), Unexpected Events (KTD) or adverse events and Sentinel Events or
sentinel events ( Ministry of Health, 2017).
Various
countries report the number of safety incidents in hospitals each year with
detailed figures for each hospital. The National Patient Safety Agency 2017
reported that in the period January-December 2016 the number of patient safety
incidents reported from the UK was 1,879,822 incidents. The Ministry of Health
Malaysia 2013 reported the number of patient safety incidents in the
January-December period as many as 2,769 incidents and for Indonesia in the
2006-2011 KKPRS period reported 877 patient safety incidents. Meanwhile, based
on the incident reporting records of RSUP DR Sitanala
Data, it was explained that the number of incidents that occurred only
consisted of 6 incidents consisting of 5 incidents, KPC as many as 5 events,
and KTD as many as 1 incident. Organizational culture is an important element
in the emergence of hospital commitments in carrying out a Patient Safety
Culture that has been required by the Ministry of Health with the emergence of
the National Committee for Patient Safety of the Republic of Indonesia (KNKP
RI). Besides being required by the Ministry of Health, Patient Safety Culture has
also been included in the hospital accreditation assessment element by the
Hospital Accreditation Commission (KARS) through the Patient Safety Target
(SKP) assessment element. In the observations of researchers, SOPs regarding
patient safety at RSUP DR Sitanala have not been
carried out optimally.(Black et al., 2001)
From the HR
data of the hospital, data obtained in the emergency unit of RSUP DR Sitanala, namely the number of health workers amounted to
190 nurses. Based on a preliminary study conducted by the author in the ER
Implementation Roomproblems that occur in employees
of RSUP DR Sitanala at the level of emotional
intelligence of employees working on reporting these incidents, it is necessary
to change working conditions in an ER unit. Implementation of the
implementation of nursing services in accordance with SOPs which have the
principle of working in accordance with standard operating procedures,
researchers hope to improve patient safety so as to improve employee performance
in nursing services. (How, 2016)
In line with this background, the authors are interested in conducting research
with the title “The Effect Of Working Time And Nurse
Anxiety Level On Patient Safety During The Covid-19 Pandemic With Nurse’s
Emotional Intelligence As Mediation Variable At DR Sitanala
Hospital.”
Theoretical Review
According to
The National Patient Safety (2003), patient safety is a process carried out by
organizations that aim to make services to patients safer. The process includes
risk assessment, patient risk identification and management, incident reporting
and analysis, and the ability to learn from an incident, follow up on an
incident, and implement solutions to minimize the risk of a similar incident
happening again.(Aacharya et al., 2011)
Hospital Patient
Safety (KPRS) is a system where hospitals make patient care safer. (KKP-RS
PERSI 2005). Meanwhile, according to the explanation of Law 44/2009 concerning
Hospitals article 43, what is meant by patient safety is a process in a
hospital that provides safer patient services.(Ikom, 2016)
The Hospital
Patient Safety Committee/KKP-RS (2008) defines that safety is free from danger
or risk. Patient safety is a patient free from harm/injury that should not occur
or free from potential harm (disease, physical injury, social, psychological,
disability, death, etc.), related to health services. (Chu
et al., 2021)

Research
methods
Research Approach and Analysis
This research method uses quantitative methods, namely data collection
using research instruments, quantitative/statistical data analysis with the aim
of testing predetermined hypotheses (Sugiyono, 2010).
The research design used was a descriptive correlational research design with a
cross sectional approach (data collection was carried out only once). Through a
descriptive correlational research design, researchers can find out the factors
that influence patient safety culture at RSUP DR Sitanala,
these factors consist of nurses' tenure, anxiety levels, and nurses' emotional
intelligence. Analysis using SPSS 22 and AMOS 24 software. The research method
used is descriptive research design (Three Box Method) and path analysis (Path
Analysis).
Data
collection techniques
The data used in this study are primary data.
According to Sugiyono (2014).
Primary sources are data sources that directly
provide data for data collection.
Primary data collection in this study by distributing questionnaires to
respondents, where the respondents in this study were nurses.(Hidayat & Wijayanti, 2015)
According to Sugiyono
(2016) a questionnaire is a data collection technique by giving a set of
questions or written statements to respondents to answer. The questionnaire
used in this study was a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale. With a
closed questionnaire, the answers have been provided so that respondents just
choose in the appropriate column or place Arikunto
(2013). The data collection process is data collected by researchers obtained
through filling out questionnaires by predetermined nurses. Filling out the
questionnaire by the nurse was accompanied directly by the researcher, then the
researcher validated the completeness and clarity of the questionnaire that had
been filled out by the respondent. Then the data is processed by the
researchers and the results obtained from the research.(Hassan, 2003)
Descriptive Analysis
Index analysis using the three box method on the
answers to each variable aims to find out a descriptive picture of the
respondents in this study, especially regarding the research variables used.
This study uses an index analysis technique that describes the respondents to
the questions asked.(Tambak & Sukenti, 2019)
Based on the average score (index) which is
categorized into a score range based on the calculation of the three box method (Ferdinand, 2006). The total index is 100
using the criteria of 3 boxes (three box method). Then the range (10-100) will
produce a range of 30 which will be used as the basis for interpreting the
index value. The use of 3 boxes (three box method) is divided as follows (ferdinand, 2006):

Path Analysis
This
research uses path analysis method Path Analysis. Path analysis is part of the
regression analysis used to analyze the relationship between variables, where
the independent variables affect the dependent variable either directly or
indirectly through one or more intermediaries (Sarwono,
2007).
Path analysis
is an extension of the simple or multiple regression equation that is required
on the path of the relationship of variables involving more than one equation.
Given that these variables are quantitative and use a ratio scale, so that they
can be processed using path analysis using a multiple linear regression
approach.
According to Sarwono (2007), path analysis should be used for conditions
that meet the following requirements:
a. All variables are numerically scaled;
b. The pattern of the relationship between
variables is linear;
. The residual variables are not
correlated with the previous variables and are not correlated with each other;
d. The model is only unidirectional.
To analyze the
causal relationship between variables and systematically test the hypothesis in
this study, the analytical tool used is path analysis using AMOS software for
windows. With path analysis, an estimation of the causal effect between
variables and the position of each variable in the path, either directly or
indirectly, will be carried out. The significance of the model appears based on
the beta coefficient (β) which is significant to the path.(Safety & Organization, 2009)

1.Age (years)
Based on the table above, it shows
that the age of the youngest nurse is 22 years old, the oldest is 49 years old
and the average age is 31 years, this means that the nurses are of productive
age.
2. Length of Work (years)
Based on the table above,
it shows that the length of work of nurses with a minimum value of 1 year, the
maximum value of 27 years, the average length of service for nurses is 9 years,
this means that nurses are experienced and many are senior nurse between the data that actually occurs on the
object and the data collected by the researcher. Validity shows the extent to

must measure what he wants to measure. The validity test that is often used is
Pearson's product moment. The validity test according to Sugiyono
(2017: 125) shows the degree of accuracy a measuring instrument measures what
it wants to measure. In this case, the researcher uses a

Three Box
Method Analysis
This analysis uses index analysis to get the tendency of
respondents' answers to each variable, it will be based on the average score
(index) which is categorized as a score range in the three
box method calculation.
The resulting index number shows a score of 38-190 with a
value range of 152. By
using the three box
method, the 152 range is divided into 3 parts, resulting in a range for
each section of 50.7. which will be
used as a list of index interpretations as follows:

Based on the table above, it is known that the average value
of the distribution of respondents based on the variable period of service of
144.5 is included in the high category.The
average value of the distribution of respondents based on the anxiety level
variable of 83.6 is included in the low category. In the anxiety level
variable, the lower the index value, the lower the anxiety or the lower the
index value, the better the respondent's condition. Based on the table above,
it is known thatthe average value of the distribution
of respondents based on the patient safety variable of 144.7 is included in the
high category. The average value of the distribution of respondents based on
the variable emotional intelligence of 145.3 is included in the high category.(Sudana,

Discussion
Discussion of Hypothesis Results
Hypothesis 1: The
effect of nurses' tenure on nurses' emotional intelligence
In this hypothesis, because if the CR (Critical Ratio) value is greater
than 2.0 and the P value is smaller than the significance level (α) of
0.05 (p <0.05), then Ho is rejected.The
value of the correlation coefficient (estimate) is 0.113 and is positive, this
result indicates that the tenure variable has a significant and direct
(positive) effect on the emotional intelligence variable. This means that the
better the tenure, the better the emotional intelligence will be. This means
that Hypothesis 1 is accepted.(Yudha & Utami, 2022)
Hypothesis 2: The effect of nurses' anxiety level on nurses' emotional
intelligence
In this hypothesis, because if the CR (Critical Ratio) value is greater
than 2.0 and the P value is smaller than the significance level (α) of
0.05 (p <0.05), then Ho is rejected. The value of the correlation
coefficient (estimate) is - 0.173 and is negative, this result indicates that
the anxiety level variable has a significant and opposite (negative) effect on
the emotional intelligence variable. This means that the lower the level of
anxiety, the better the emotional intelligence will be. This means that
Hypothesis 2 is accepted.
Hypothesis 3: The effect of nurse's tenure on patient safety
In this hypothesis, because if the CR (Critical Ratio) value is greater
than 2.0 and the P value is smaller than the significance level (α) of
0.05 (p <0.05), then Ho is rejected. The value of the correlation
coefficient (estimate) is 0.248 and is positive, this result indicates that the
working period variable has a significant and direct (positive) effect on the
patient safety variable. This means that the better the working period, the
better patient safety will be. This means that Hypothesis 3 is accepted.
Hypothesis 4: The effect of nurses' anxiety level on patient safety
In this hypothesis, because if the CR (Critical Ratio) value is greater
than 2.0 and the P value is smaller than the significance level (α) of
0.05 (p <0.05), then Ho is rejected. The correlation coefficient (estimate)
is - 0.385 and is negative, this result indicates that the anxiety level
variable has a significant and opposite (negative) effect on the patient safety
variable. This means that the lower the level of anxiety, the better the
patient's safety. This means that Hypothesis 4 is accepted.
Hypothesis 5: The effect of nurses' emotional intelligence on patient
safety
In this hypothesis, because if the CR (Critical Ratio) value is greater
than 2.0 and the P value is smaller than the significance level (α) of
0.05 (p <0.05), then Ho is rejected. The correlation coefficient (estimate)
is 0.317 and is positive, this result indicates that the emotional intelligence
variable has a significant and direct (positive) effect on the patient safety
variable. This means that the better the emotional intelligence, the better the
patient's safety. This means that Hypothesis 5 is accepted.
Hypothesis 6: The effect of nurse tenure on patient safety with nurses'
emotional intelligence as a mediating variable
In this hypothesis the value of Standardized Indirect Effects (indirect
effect) is smaller than the value of Standardized Direct Effects (direct
effect). In hypothesis 6: testing whether emotional intelligence is a mediating
variable between tenure and patient safety:
- The working period if it is directly related to patient safety is
0.281.
- The working period if it is connected indirectly (indirectly) with
patient safety is 0.040. This means that tenure has a higher effect on patient safety if it is directly
connected (0.281), than if it is through mediation (0.040), so the conclusion
is that the emotional intelligence variable is not a mediating variable between
tenure and patient safety, so Hypothesis 6 is rejected.
Hypothesis 7: The effect of nurses' anxiety levels on patient safety with
nurses' emotional intelligence as a mediating variable
In this hypothesis the value of
Standardized Indirect Effects (indirect effect) is smaller than the value of
Standardized Direct Effects (direct effect). In hypothesis 7: testing whether
emotional intelligence is a mediating variable between anxiety levels and
patient safety:
- The level of anxiety if it is directly related to patient safety is
0.256 (the minus sign only shows the direction of the relationship).
- The level of anxiety if it is connected indirectly (indirectly) with
patient safety is 0.036 (the minus sign only shows the direction of the
relationship). This means that the level of anxiety has a higher effect on
patient safety if it is directly connected (0.256), than if it is through
mediation (0.036), so the conclusion is that the emotional intelligence
variable is not a mediating variable between anxiety levels and patient safety,
so Hypothesis 7 is rejected.
Research Findings
The findings of this study areemotional
intelligence variable is not a mediating variable between tenure and patient
safety. And the emotional intelligence variable is not a mediating variable
between the level of anxiety and patient safety. (Zulham et al., 2020)
Variable working period and level of anxiety have a significant effect on
patient safety. The better the work period and the lower the level of anxiety,
the better patient safety will be.
Research Limitations
This research has been attempted and carried out in accordance with
scientific procedures, however, it still has limitations, namely:
1) Data collection took a
long time because they had to adjust the shift of the implementing nurse in the
room and the conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic which made
researchers have limited time to visit the hospital.
2) Primary data
collection using a questionnaire that is subjective, especially related to the
assessment of the level of anxiety and emotional intelligence variables, so
that the truth depends on the honesty of the respondents.
Conclusions, Implications and Suggestions
Conclusion
Based on the results of the analysis and discussion of the effect of
working period and the level of anxiety of nurses on the level of patient
safety during the Covid-19 pandemic with emotional intelligence as a mediating
variable at RSUP DR Sitanala, some conclusions can be
drawn as follows:
1) The variable of tenure
has a positive and significant effect on the emotional intelligence variable.
This means that the better the tenure, the better the emotional intelligence
will be.
2) The anxiety level
variable has a negative and significant effect on the emotional intelligence
variable. This means that the lower the level of anxiety, the better the
emotional intelligence will be.
3) The variable of tenure
has a positive and significant effect on the patient safety variable. This
means that the better the working period, the better patient safety will be.
4) The anxiety level
variable has a negative and significant effect on the patient safety variable.
This means that the lower the level of anxiety, the better the patient's
safety.
5) Emotional intelligence
variable has a positive and significant effect on patient safety variables.
This means that the better the emotional intelligence, the better the patient's
safety.
6) Emotional intelligence
variable is not a mediating variable between tenure and patient safety. 7) Emotional
intelligence variable is not a mediating variable between anxiety level and
patient safety.(Arikunto, 2010)
Implication
Theoretical Implications
This research is relevant toThe tenure of a new
employee tends to be less satisfied than that of a senior employee. New
employees have high expectations that are not possible to fulfill or maybe for
the job only education or lower abilities are needed than the abilities of the
new employee (Mc Clelland, 2019). With a long working
period, the experience in serving patients is getting higher and the level of
anxiety will be lower so that adaptation in dealing with all conditions in the
field (treatment room) will be easier to live as a nurse.
Anxiety Level Theory according to Peplau in Stuart (2016) is identified
into four levels, as follows: 1) Mild anxiety, occurs during the tension of
daily life. 2) Moderate anxiety, where a person only focuses on important
things. 3) Severe anxiety, characterized by a significant decrease in the
perceptual field. 4) Panic, associated with fear and terror.
Social support is defined as an interpersonal relationship in which one
or more assistance in the form of physical or instrumental, information and
praise. Social support is sufficient to develop aspects of Emotional
Intelligence, so that it creates feelings of worth in developing personality
and social contacts. (Goleman, 2015).
Patient safety is all mistakes that occur in hospitals that are carried
out by all professions that handle patients directly in providing care.
According to Cooper et al (2000) Patient Safety is the avoidance, prevention,
and improvement of unexpected events or overcoming injuries from the health
care process. The Hospital Patient Safety Standards compiled refer to the
"Hospital Patient Safety Standards" issued by the Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Health Organizations, Illinois, USA, in 2002 (JCI, 2013).
From the results of the research and an in-depth study, there is an
opportunity to develop theories of tenure, anxiety levels, patient safety and
emotional intelligence by expanding both independent and moderating variables by
adding new variables, namely: level of knowledge, nurse performance, nurse
perception and satisfaction profession.
Managerial Implications
Based on the research, it was found that the effect of working period and
anxiety level of nurses on patient safety during the Covid-19 pandemic with
emotional intelligence as a mediating variable at RSUP DR Sitanala.
Therefore, a human resource management strategy was developed to develop the
productivity of implementing patient safety goals on an ongoing basis, including:
a) To reduce the anxiety
level of management nurses, RSUP DR Sitanala held a
gathering of fellow health workers to reduce the number of anxiety
about work demands during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, assistance is
also provided for nurses who feel low levels of anxiety with new or senior
tenures, this is in accordance with the theory of anxiety levels of Stuart,
2016.
b) To increase Emotional
Intelligence, the management health workers of RSUP DR Sitanala
held religious activities, such as routine recitations by Muslim nurses and
worship activities fornon-Muslim nurses in order to
form the emotional bond of nurses to behave calmly and patiently in handling
patients in hospitals. This is supported by the theory of emotional
intelligence from Goleman, 2015.
c) To increase the
credibility of the Term of Service, the management health officer of RSUP DR Sitanala held training activities and increased insight and
refreshment of nursing theory for employees with a tenure of less than 3 months.n routinely and assisting
with CI (Critical Instructure) in the implementation of services to hospitals
so that no errors or at least KTD occur in patients, where assistance is not
only carried out by new employees. RSUP DR Sitanala
accepts all employees with low to high levels of experience and a working
period of 0 months to 27 years, this is in accordance with the tenure theory of
McClelland, 2019.
d) To improve patient
safety at the hospital, the management of Dr Sitanala
Hospital strengthens the training program to increase nursing insight for the
development of collaboration between senior and junior nurses and refreshment
of knowledge about patient safety so that the implementation of patient safety
goals in hospitals can run well. This Hospital Patient Safety Standard was
prepared referring to the “Hospital Patient Safety Standards” issued by the
Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Organizations, Illinois, USA, in
2002 (JCI, 2013).
Suggestion
Based on the results of the research described above, the researchers
propose suggestions that can be used by various parties to develop the
implementation of patient safety goals in the future, including:
a) For Hospital
Management
1) In reducing the level of anxiety, the
hospital holds gathering activities and provides rewards to health workers,
especially nurses according to their expertise and perseverance in working to
improve a good work ethic.
2) In improving Emotional Intelligence,
the Hospital provides opportunities for employees to increase religious activities
in order to form a good emotional bond at work.
3) In increasing the working period and
patient safety, the hospital provides training programs and increased knowledge
about patient safety on a regular and continuous basis to improve the knowledge
and skills of nurses at work.
b) For Further
Researchers
Should do the same
research by adding other variables related to the implementation of patient
safety activities and emotional intelligence related to Patient Safety in
Hospitals.
