The results showed that there was no relationship between leadership style and the completeness of filling out the initial inpatient nursing assessment at Bina Sehat Hospital Jember (p=0.772). The majority of leadership style assessments are participatory (82.3%), where from 79 nurse respondents, 47 nurses are majority with a working period of > 5 years (59.5%), while in terms of education the majority of D3 nursing graduates are 40 nurses (50.6 %).
