Pandemi COVID-19 telah ditetapkan sebagai kedaruratan kesehatan masyarakatyang meresahkan dunia sejak Januari 2020. Kondisi pandemi menghadapkan tenagakesehatan khususnya perawat pada masalah krisis professional keperawatan. Perawatyang memberikan asuhan keperawatan selama pandemi COVID-19 beresiko untukmengalami stress kerja yang berdampak pada perilaku caring dan kualitas hidupprofesionalnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi hubunganstress kerja dengan perilaku caring dan kualitas hidup professional perawatkomunitas pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan desaincorrelational pada 120 perawat komunitas di Jakarta Pusat. Sampel penelitiandiperoleh dengan teknik non-probality purposive sampling sesuai dengan kriteriainklusi penelitian. Hasil analisa dengan uji korelasi ditemukan terdapat hubunganantara stress kerja dengan perilaku caring, hubungan tersebut memiliki arahkorelasi negatif (p value = 0,041, r = -0,187). Terdapat hubungan yang signifikanantara stress kerja dengan kualitas hidup professional (KHP), dengan kekuatankorelasi sedang dan arah korelasi positif (p value = 0,0001, r = 0,405). Hasil analisisregresi linear ganda menunjukkan tidak ada faktor dari stress kerja yang secarasignifikan dapat mempredisksi perilaku caring (p value = 0,264, R² = 0,065), dansubvariabel stress kerja dapat memprediksi kualitas hidup professional, akan tetapitidak ada subvariabel yang dinilai paling berhubungan dengan kualitas hidupprofessional (p value = 0,0001, R² = 0,260). Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadireferensi untuk melakukan monitoring dan evaluasi tingkat stress kerja yang dialami perawat secara berkala serta mengembangkan intervensi untuk mengurangi stress kerja perawat melalui upaya primer, sekunder dan tersier.

The outbreak of COVID-19 is a public health emergency of international concern since January 2020. Pandemic COVID-19 has made healthcare staff especially nurses to face adequate nursing professionals critical issues. Nurses who provide

nursing care during the COVID-19 pandemic are at risk of experiencing

occupational stress on their caring behaviour and professional quality of life. This study aimed to identify the correlational of occupational stress between caring behaviour and professional quality of life of community nurses during pandemic COVID-19. This study was conducted with correlational design of 120 community health nurses in Central Jakarta area. The research sample was obtained using a non-probability purposive sampling technique in accordance with the research inclusion criteria. The results of the analysis with the correlational study found that there was a correlation between occupational stress with caring behavior, the stressors was negatively related to caring behavior (p value = 0,041, r = -0,187). There was a statistically significant positive correlation between occupational stress and professional quality of life, (p value = 0,0001, r = 0,405). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that there is no occupational stress related factor that can significantly predict caring behavior on nurses (p value = 0,264, R² = 0,065). On the other hand there were some occupational stress sub variables which can predict professional quality of life, but none of the sub variables rated most related to professional quality of life (p value = 0,0001, R² = 0,260). Study findings can be a reference for monitoring dan evaluating program for nurses and device intervention that reduce stressors through primary, secondary and tertiary prevention.
