Hubungan Tingkat Depresi dengan Self-Efficacy pada Pasien Gagal Ginjal yang Dirawat di Ruang Penyakit Dalam RS QIM Batang

This research is a quantitative study with a descriptive correlational design using a cross-sectional approach. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between depression level and self-efficacy among patients with kidney failure treated in the internal medicine ward of RS QIM Batang. The sample consisted of 40 respondents selected using purposive sampling from the population of chronic kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis. The instruments used were the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) to measure depression and a 25-item self-efficacy questionnaire to assess patients’ confidence. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank test. The results showed that most respondents were in the normal depression category (31.4%), while 24.8% experienced severe depression. Regarding self-efficacy, the majority of respondents were in the high category (43.8%). The Spearman Rank test revealed a correlation coefficient (rho) of -0.881 with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a very strong and statistically significant negative relationship between depression and self-efficacy. This means that the higher the patients’ self-efficacy, the lower their level of depression. The conclusion of this study is that there is a very strong and significant relationship between depression level and self-efficacy among patients with kidney failure treated in the internal medicine ward of RS QIM Batang.
