THE APPLICATION OF THE AUSTRALASIAN TRIAGE SCALE (ATS) TO THE ACCURACY OF THE PATIENT'S RESPONSE TIME AT THE EMERGENCY INSTALLATION OF THE MITRA PLUMBON CIREBON HOSPITAL

Triase is the process of selecting and sorting patients who arrive at the
emergency room. One of the triage references that is often used in Indonesia is the
ATS (Australian Triage Scale). The Australasian Triage Scale (ATS) method is one
of several triage systems used in Indonesia, and the tools used maximize the waiting
time for the assessment and handling of patients in the emergency room. The
purpose of this study was to determine the application of the Australasian Triage
Scale (ATS) to the accuracy of the patient's response time at the Emergency
Installation of the Mitra Plumbon Cirebon Hospital.
Types of research use quantitative research with a descriptive correlational
research design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was
the implementing nurse at the Emergency Installation of the Mitra Plumbon
Cirebon Hospital, and the sampling technique used was the total sampling method
of 42 people. Data collection using an observation sheet Data analysis was carried
out using univariate analysis with a bivariate percentage and the Chi Square (2)
test.
The results showed that most of the respondents (78.6%) applied the
appropriate Australasian Triage Scale (ATS), and most of the respondents (69%)
had an inappropriate time response. The results of the Chi Square statistical test
(2) obtained ρ value = 0.146> α (0.05) showed that HA was rejected, meaning that
there was no application of the Australasian Triage Scale (ATS) to the accuracy of
the patient's response time at the Emergency Installation of the Mitra Plumbon
Cirebon Hospital.
It is expected that nurses can improve their ability to provide services to
emergency patients.
