Sebagian besar pendekatan perawat dalam merawat pasiennya ditentukan oleh peran gender, sehingga masalah seperti kesetaraan dalam pemberian perawatan keperawatan spiritual menjadi sangat penting. Studi-studi yang ada belum secara menyeluruh memfokuskan perbedaan peran gender dalam asuhan keperawatan spiritual. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki hubungan antara kompetensi dalam pemberian asuhan keperawatan spiritual oleh setiap perawat berdasarkan peran gender bagi pasien perawatan paliatif kanker di Rumah Sakit Kanker Dharmais, Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain korelasional kuantitatif potong-lintang dengan 110 perawat sebagai partisipan melalui teknik quota sampling dengan Bem Sex Role Inventory-Short Form (BSRI) dan Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) sebagai instrumen penelitian untuk mengukur peran gender dan kompetensi asuhan keperawatan spiritual. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan secara statistik antara feminitas (r = 0,530, p < 0,001) dan maskulinitas (r = 0,611, p < 0,001) dengan kompetensi asuhan keperawatan spiritual, serta adanya perbedaan dalam kompetensi asuhan keperawatan spiritual antara perawat dengan peran gender androgynous dan undifferentiated (p < 0,001). Rumah sakit atau fasilitas kesehatan yang memiliki perawatan paliatif bagi pasien kanker seharusnya mendorong perawat, terlepas dari jenis kelamin biologisnya, untuk mengekspresikan kedua peran gender karena berkorelasi positif dengan kompetensi asuhan keperawatan spiritual. Penelitian selanjutnya dapat mengeksplorasi lebih lanjut karakteristik masing-masing peran gender sehingga dapat ada bukti yang lebih definitif mengenai hubungan antara peran gender dan kompetensi perawatan keperawatan spiritual.

Every nurse regardless of their sociodemographic background must be competent in providing quality spiritual nursing care. As gender roles dictate much of nurses’ approach in caring for their patients, matters such as equality in the provision of spiritual nursing care becomes urgent. Existing studies have not focused thoroughly on the gender roles difference in spiritual nursing care. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the competence of spiritual nursing care provision by each nurse by gender roles for cancer palliative care patients at Dharmais Cancer Hospital, Jakarta. This study used quantitative correlational cross-sectional design with 110 nurses as participants through quota sampling with Bem Sex Role Inventory-Short Form (BSRI) and Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) as the research instruments to measure gender roles and spiritual nursing care competence. Univariate analysis results showed that as much as 42,7% nurses had undifferentiated gender role followed by 39,1% nurses having androgynous gender role; while the median score of SCCS was 107, indicating high competence in spiritual nursing care. Bivariate analysis results showed that there were statistically significant correlations between femininity (r = 0,530, p < 0,001) and masculinity (r = 0,611, p < 0,001) with spiritual nursing care competence and that there was a difference in spiritual nursing care competence between nurses with androgynous and undifferentiated gender roles (p < 0,001). Existing hospitals or health facilities with palliative care for cancer patients should encourage nurses regardless of biological sex to express both gender roles as they correlate positively with spiritual nursing care competence. The next research can explore more regarding each characteristic in each gender role so that there can be more definitive evidence regarding the relationship between gender roles and spiritual nursing care competence.
