Title: The Impact of Stress on The Work Performance of COVID-19 Isolation Room Nurses at Hospitals in Timor Authors: Rino Vanchapo, Antonius; Anggorowati, Anggorowati; Merlin, Ni Made Abstract: The incidence of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) in East Nusa Tenggara has increased tremendously since April 2020. This has caused nurses to experience anxiety and stress due to fears of a shortage of special COVID-19 inpatient rooms. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between stress and the work performance of the COVID-19 isolation room nurses in mainland Timor. This cross-sectional study involved 278 nurses who worked in the COVID-19 isolation rooms of three hospitals on Timor Island. The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-42) and the Nurse Work Performance Sheet were applied to obtain the data. The results demonstrated that 64 respondents exhibited severe stress which 53 showed poor performance and 11 displayed adequate performance. There was a relationship between work stress and the work performance of the COVID-19 isolation room nurses (p-value = 0.001). This study did not measure other variables that are most likely correlated with work performance, but the result indicates the need for treatments for the nurses who work in such rooms to prevent worse conditions

Title: Parents’ Attitudes and Stress Levels Associated with Assisting Children’s Distance Learning in Western Indonesia Authors: Musila, Dina; Dewi Rahayu Wulan Prasetya, Florensia; Arnetta Friesca Indriani, Maria; Kartika, Lia; Lamtiur, Agustin Abstract: The Indonesian government implemented distance learning to reduce the viral spread during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. A preliminary study based on interviews with 10 parents found that some parents had problems accessing the internet during their children’s online classes and that they used an excessive amount of data. Parents also had difficulty dividing their time between working and assisting their children with their online learning. This study aimed to determine parents’ attitudes and stress levels associated with assisting their children’s distance learning in western Indonesia. A descriptive research method was utilized, and the research population consisted of parents with school-age children undergoing distance learning in western Indonesia. The accidental sampling technique was used, and 384 respondents were involved. The research instrument was a questionnaire. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that 1.6% of the respondents had a low stress level, 49.7% had a medium stress level, and 48.7% had a high stress level. The results also revealed that more than half of the respondents (51.3%; n=197) had a positive attitude toward assisting their school-age children during distance learning. Given that this study involved a substantial sample of parents, the findings have implications for academic institutions and community leaders in western Indonesia and similar region. The findings indicate that efforts could be made to educate parents about their stress and attitudes associated with distance learning and the effects these have on their children’s learning.

Title: Factors Determining Commitment to Health-Promoting Behavior During COVID-19 Authors: Koerniawan, Dheni; Frisca, Sanny Abstract: Forming new behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic required individual commitment. Based on Pender’s health pro-motion model (HPM), factors affecting commitment to new behaviors include benefit perception, barriers, self-efficacy, related activities, as well as interpersonal and situational influences. This study aims to determine the determinant factors that affected commitment to health-promoting behavior and habits during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study randomly assigned online questionnaires to 186 people in Palembang. The instruments used in this study were developed by the author based on Pender’s HPM. Path analysis with the SEM-PLS approach was used to analyze determinant factors of community commitment. The results of the analysis showed that the following influenced commitment: benefit variables (β = 0.192; p = 0.011), previous activities (β = 0.134; p = 0.031), interpersonal influence (β = 0.214; p = 0.005) and situational influence (β = 0.326; p = 0.000), barriers (β = -0.068; p = 0.247), and self-efficacy (β = 0.079; p = 0.256). All the predictors contributed to a commitment value of 40.6%. It can be concluded that enhancing perceived benefits and focusing on previously completed activities, and external factors, interpersonal and situational influence, may strengthen commitment to developing healthy behavior. Moreover, good self-efficacy based on previous practice can lower per-ceived barriers, which hinder commitment. Therefore, nurses need to focus on identifying individual internal and external factors to bolster commitment while lowering barriers
