Kecemasan, Depresi, dan Kualitas Tidur Mahasiswa Praktek Klinik Keperawatan Saat Pandemi COVID-19

Abstract

The clinical nursing practice program is an orientation for students to apply theory to practice and gain competence in nursing skills before graduation. The COVID-19 pandemic brings a new reality to nursing students who carry out clinical practice to be more professional, which can lead to psychological problems. This study aims to determine the anxiety, depression, and sleep quality of nursing students undergoing clinical practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used a cross-sectional approach to 373 nursing students. Research respondents were taken by purposive sampling technique. A generalized Anxiety Disorder 7‐item scale (GAD-7) was used to collect anxiety data. Depression was measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Based on the results of the Spearman rank correlation test, there is a correlation between sleep quality scores and depression scores with p = 0.000 (p lebih kecil 0.01) and r = 0.523. There is a correlation between anxiety scores and sleep quality scores with p = 0.000 (p lebih kecil 0.01) and r = 0.444. There is a correlation between anxiety scores and depression scores with p = 0.000 (p lebih kecil 0.01) and r = 0.827. The quality of student sleep needs to be maintained to help reduce anxiety and depression in students practicing clinically. The role of professional clinical instructors in assisting students is needed to assist students in the process of carrying out clinical practice well.
