Sleep is a basic human need. Poor sleep quality can have an impact on students' health and academic performance. Nursing students at the end of the level transfer program have the risk of poor sleep quality due to the high academic task load coupled with other assignments besides lectures that can take up student break time. One of the factors that affect the quality of sleep is stress, and among students it is called academic stress. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between academic stress and sleep quality in the final year students of a level transfer program. The study was conducted at one of the campuses in the city of Padang using a correlation analytic research design with a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study amounted to 64 students at the end of the level transfer program with the total sampling technique. This research was conducted from October to November 2019. Data was collected using the Pittsburh Sleep Quality Index and Student Academic Stress Scale research instruments. The results of this study indicate that nursing students at the end of the level transfer program experience poor sleep quality with high academic stress. Correlation analysis provides a linear and positive pattern of relationship between academic stress and sleep quality of nursing students at the end of a level tansfer program, with a very strong correlation strength level, which means that the higher the student's academic stress, the worse the quality of sleep.. It is expected that students can manage academic stress with stress management and time management, so as not to have an impact on the quality of student sleep.

Perilaku caring adalah dasar utama yang mendasari a helping relationship yang terjalin antara perawat-pasien. Hubungan terapeutik ini dibangun melalui komunikasi terapeutik yang dipraktikkan untuk mencapai keberhasilan program terapi. Namun, masih banyak perawat tidak menerapkan komunikasi terapeutik dalam berintegrasi dengan pasien. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman perawat melalui pelatihan komunikasi terapeutik pada perawat di rumah sakit di Kota Padang. Pelaksanaan kegiatan ini menggunakan metode pendekatan ceramah, diskusi, dan demonstrasi. Pembelajaran dilakukan selama 8 jam efektif, sebelum dan sesudah pembelajaran dilakukan pengukuran pengetahuan pre-test dan post-test. Jumlah peserta sebanyak 20 orang perawat yang berdinas di ruang rawat inap rumah sakit. Berdasarkan uji paired t-test, didapatkan hasil bahwa ada perbedaan rerata pengetahuan peserta tentang komunikasi terapeutik sebelum dan sesudah pelatihan (p value= 0,000). Selisih rerata skor pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah pelatihan yaitu 2,550. Hasil kegiatan ini menunjukkan kegiatan pembelajaran dengan metode ceramah, diskusi dan demonstrasi terbukti efektif dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan perawat tentang komunikasi terapeutik. Oleh karena itu, diharapkan kegiatan ini dapat dilakukan secara rutin agar dapat mendorong peningkatan kualitas asuhan keperawatan pada pasien melalui penerapan komunikasi terapeutik yang baik oleh perawat.
