Abstract
Hepatitis is an infectious disease with a
fairly high incidence rate in society. This problem can be reduced by
increasing health education activities that all parties, including nurses, can
carry out. Nurses are expected to be able to provide information about
hepatitis through health education to patients in hospitals to suppress
transmission of the disease. This research aims to analyze nurses' knowledge,
attitudes, and behavior in providing health education to Hepatitis patients
regarding the prevention and transmission of Hepatitis at the Jabodetabek
Regional Hospital. This research uses a descriptive-analytical design with a
cross-sectional approach with quantitative methods. This study showed that
52.3% of respondents had poor knowledge, and 47.7% had good knowledge about
providing education on the prevention and transmission of Hepatitis to patients
at Jabodetabek regional hospitals. There is a significant relationship between
experience and nurses' knowledge about Hepatitis health education with a P
value of 0.000 (P<0.05), and there is no significant relationship between
education and knowledge, education and nurses' attitudes, education and nurses'
behavior, experience and nurses' attitudes and Experience with nurses' behavior
regarding preventive health education and transmission of Hepatitis in patients
at Jabodetabek regional hospitals. Providing health education to patients is
one of the roles of nurses that must be carried out to increase patient
