CHAPTER 1

PRELIMINARY
1.1 Background
Currently the world of nursing is growing. Nurses are considered as one of the health
professions that must be involved in the achievement of health development goals both in the
world and in Indonesia.
As time goes by and the increasing demand for health services demands that nurses
now have knowledge and skills in various fields. Today nurses have a broader role with an
emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention, as well as looking at clients
comprehensively. Nurses perform functions in relation to the various roles of caregivers,
clinic and ethics decision makers, protectors and advocates for clients, case managers,
rehabilitators, communicators and educators.
Nursing, as an integral part of the health care system, encompasses the promotion of
health, prevention of illness, and care of physically ill, mentally ill, and disabled people of all
ages, in all health care and other community settings. Within this broad spectrum of health
care, the phenomena of particular concern to nurses are individual, family, and group
"responses to actual or potential health problems" (ANA, 1980, P.9). These human responses
range broadly from health restoring reactions to an individual episode of illness to the
development of policy in promoting the long-term health of a population.
The unique function of nurses in caring for individuals, sick or well, is to assess their
responses to their health status and to assist them in the performance of those activities
contributing to health or recovery or to dignified death that they would perform unaided if
they had the necessary strength, will, or knowledge and to do this in such a way as to help
them gain full of partial independence as rapidly as possible (Henderson, 1977, p.4). Within
the total health care environment, nurses share with other health professionals and those in
other sectors of public service the functions of planning, implementation, and evaluation to
ensure the adequacy of the health system for promoting health, preventing illness, and caring
for ill and disabled people.
