Tantangan “Role”/ Peran yang Dihadapi oleh Mantan Perawat IJ-EPA Setelah Kembali ke Indonesia

Abstract

Abstrak - Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi tantangan dari sisi “roleâ€/ “peran†yang dihadapi oleh para perawat Indonesia sekembalinya mereka dari Jepang ketika mereka  mulai bekerja sebagai perawat di rumah sakit di Indonesia. Data utama dalam penelitian ini berasal dari data kuisioner dan interview dengan 10 orang perawat Indonesia yang pernah bekerja di Jepang dalam kerangka IJ-EPA. Teori “peranâ€/ “role†digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk menganalisa tantangan yang para perawat ini hadapi ketika mulai bekerja di rumah sakit di Indonesia. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah para perawat ini cukup menghadapi kesulitan dan perlu beradaptasi kembali ketika melakukan tindakan medis seperti menyuntik, menginfus dan mengambil darah pasien. Hal ini disebabkan adanya peraturan di Jepang yang melarang mereka untuk melakukan tindakan medis apabila belum lulus ujian lisensi keperawatan Jepang. Akibatnya, sekembalinya di Indonesia dan mulai bekerja di rumah sakit di Indonesia mereka tidak dapat melakukan “roleâ€/ “peranâ€nya sebagai perawat secara maksimal.
