Being COVID Warriors among COVIGNORANTS in Indonesia: The Importance of Mental Health Endurance

COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has spread across the globe. COVID-19 cases keep increasing as July 04, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) announce about 11,046,917 confirmed cases of COVID-19 that spread in 216 countries. The WHO has published helpful advice to keep and reduce the chances of being infected or spreading COVID-19 among the public such as cleaning hands regularly, maintaining physical distance, wearing masks properly, and encouraging to be in a ventilated area. An idiom for a person who ignores measures to prevent COVID-19 spread acts as if the world is not in the pandemic condition that is COVIGNORANT. Some of the COVIGNORANTS do not trust healthcare workers and spread a lot of false myths regarding COVID-19. Misperception and lack of knowledge about COVID-19 among COVIGNORANS lead to a sense of fear for healthcare workers. People are being a concern regarding contagion exposure from healthcare workers when they come home. Normalizing mental health discussion among healthcare workers should not be a stigma and must be considered one of the important policies that need to be applied among healthcare workers in Indonesia.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: Quality of Nursing Work-Life has become a major factor in influencing the quality of nursing services. Meanwhile, the caringbehavior that is shown by nurses can predict the value of their work quality AIM OF THE STUDY: This study aimed to assess the QNWL and to identify the predictors based on Swanson's theory of caring including compassion,competence, and upholding trust. METHODOLOGY: Cross-sectional studies were conducted in a nurse at a hospital in Tulungagung and a hospital in Banyuwangi (n = 420 by simple random sampling) from January to April 2021. The instrument in this study was developed by standard guidelines of Swanson's theory andQNWL's instruments. Multiple linear regression was used to identify predictors. RESULTS: The mean score of QNWL was 132.05 (SD = 0.936) (range of possible score = 32 - 160). Upholding trust (0.01), Compassion (0.03), and competence (0.02) significantly predicted QNWL (R Square = 0.795). CONCLUSION: The constructs of Swanson's Theory significantly predicted QNWL. This study supports an investigation about the factors underlying QNWL on a larger scale, as well as the identification of targets in designing future interventions.
