Abstract

Nurses often receive acts of violence for physical and psychological health from patients. The problem in this study is how the regulation of legal protection norms for nurses who perform their duties in hospitals and how the implementation of hospital legal protection for nurses who experience violence by patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the regulation of legal protection norms for nurses who perform their duties in the hospital and to analyze the implementation of hospital legal protection for nurses who experience violence by patients. The research method is normative legal research type that uses secondary data and is analyzed qualitatively. The result of the research is that the legal protection carried out by the hospital against nurses is by making professional standards, services and standard operating procedures and cooperation with the Indonesian National Nurses Association (PPNI) in assisting nurses who take legal action. The conclusion is that most cases of violence against nurses are resolved amicably. Hospitals are more likely to maintain their good reputation than to take further legal action against nurses who are victims of violence. It is also unclear from the company's regulations and the employees' labor agreements what kind of legal protection the management or the hospital will provide to the employees, in this case the nurses, if they experience violence related to work safety and security
