care to patients with Covid-19 symptoms at the Palembang Private Hospital
Methods: quantitative, cross sectional design, total sampling technique, a
population of 56 respondents, using the Kendall Tau test and Fisher extract.

nurses were female 51 respondents, late adulthood 37 respondents, working years
> 4 years, education DIII Nursing 52, married family status 52, high self-efficacy
29, moderate anxiety 36. Results Bivariate research showed that there was a
relationship between completeness of PPE with anxiety experienced by nurses with
r = -0.284 and (p = 0.032) and self-efficacy with nurse anxiety with r = -0.481 and
(p = 0.001) and family status with anxiety experienced by nurses. with (p = 1,000).
