Understanding earthquake disaster triage is a crucial component of the nursing curriculum, necessitating enhance educational efforts to improve triage knowledge through innovative learning methods. This study aims to investigate the effect of earthquake disaster triage simulation using tabletop media on the knowledge of nursing students at UNITRI Malang. Utilizing a one-group pretest -posttest design, the research involved all nursing students from the class of 2022 at UNITRI Malang. A sample of 35 students was selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data collection was executed using a structured questionnaire assessing knowledge on earthquake disaster triage, and analysis was performed using the marginal homogeneity test with α significant level of α = 0.05. Findings revealed that a majority of the respondents had poor knowledge of earthquake disaster triage before the tabletop simulation (57.1%), which significantly improved to a good category after the simulation (62.9%). The results indicated a significant effect of tabletop earthquake triage simulation on the knowledge of nursing students, with a p-value of 0.000. The tabletop simulation media can be an effective tool for enhancing knowledge in earthquake disaster triage.

Patients in the emergency room (ER) often experience anxiety due to acute or severe pain, which may indicate a life-threatening condition, leading them to expect immediate treatment from nurses. Nurse response time plays a critical role in saving patients and has a direct impact on their anxiety levels. Patients who experience delays in receiving services from healthcare providers may feel afraid and worried about their condition. The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between nurse response time and patient anxiety in the ER at the Dinoyo Health Center, Malang City. The study employed a correlation research design using a cross-sectional approach. The population included all 50 patients in the ER, with a sample of 47 patients selected using systematic random sampling techniques. The independent variable was response time, while the dependent variable was patient anxiety. The instruments included response time observation sheets and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results indicated that the majority of nurses exhibited good response times (70.2%), and the majority of patients reported no anxiety or were within the normal range (63.8%). A significant relationship was found between nurse response time and patient anxiety within p-value = 0.000 (0.05). Suggestions for future research include identifying patient anxiety levels in the ER based on factors such as the level of emergency, payment method, and availability of family assistance. 

Over time, the COVID-19 virus mutates and can spread rapidly, requiring more accurate treatment. Adequate treatment is essential for healing and reducing the spread of diseases. Moreover, nursing has become the main health workforce in controlling COVID-19. The study aims to test the relationship between nursing clinical experience and the accuracy of COVID-19 virulence scoring using the Early Warning System Score application. The study used a correlation analytic design with a cross sectional approach. The population used in this study was nurses who filled out questionnaires online in East Java. A sample of 311 respondents. The results showed a significant relationship between nursing clinical experience and accuracy of scoring virulence of COVID-19 using the Early Warning System Score application. Treatment of COVID-19 should remain in the evaluation, especially the provision of appropriate nursing care for patients with COVID-19 by nurses. Researchers can add clinical experience-supporting variables to find out the various compensators of nurses’ competence.

ABSTRACT  Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered type of coronavirus. This virus is a new virus and a previously unknown disease before the outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Coronavirus itself is a group of viruses that can cause disease in animals or humans. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between education on handling COVID-19 independently at home and public anxiety in the Yon Arhanud 2 Kostrad Dormitory. This research is a quantitative research using a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study was 50 respondents in asrama YON ARHANUD 2 using the Simple Random Sampling Technique. The data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank Correlation test. The results showed that there was a relationship between the handling of COVID-19 at home and public anxiety with a p value of 0.042. Based on this research, it is hoped that the general public can implement independent handling of COVID-19 at home, because the higher the handling of COVID-19 independently at home, the lower the level of public anxiety. Keywords: Anxiety, Self managemen Covid-19 ABSTRAK Covid-19 wabah menular yang di akibatkan corona virus.
