ABSTRACT

Introduction: Anxiety is a psychological aspect that everyone will feel when they are in a situation that threatens their comfort. Caring is a behavior that is identical with nurses as health workers who provide services to clients. Nurses providing services to clients during the Covid-19 pandemic will undoubtedly be riskier because many clients without signs and symptoms are in the service area. This condition can certainly affect the nurse's psychology to increase the nurse's anxiety which will later affect the nurse's caring for the clients she cares for.

Aim: To describe the relationship between nurses' anxiety and care after the Covid-19 vaccination at the hospital.

The population of this study was nurses in the inpatient ward of the Hospital in Indonesia, with 191 nurses. The sampling technique used by researchers in this study is random sampling. The data collection technique used is by using a questionnaire.

Result and Analysis: Respondent data shows that anxiety and caring nurses have a relationship with the value of (α = 0.031). The nature of the relationship between the two variables is very low, with a value (r = 0.156).

Discussions: Anxiety with caring for nurses after covid-19 vaccination has a weak relationship. The vaccination program is expected to reduce a person's infection rate. The virus is hoping that people who have been vaccinated can carry out daily activities without any worries, including nurses who work to provide services to clients to care for clients without any anxiety.
