Method: The method is Comparative Study with Cross Sectional Study Design with nursing students, nurses and Indonesian nurses working abroad as the populations. The sampling technique is non-probability sampling with a total sample of 130 respondents. The data collection tool uses a questionnaire and Likert Scale, compiled based on the Health Belief Model Theory (HBM). The data were analyzed by the Paired Sample T-test to see the differences between nurses who had received OHN subject and those who had never. Result: The results show significant differences on level of understanding between nurses who have received subject material about OHN with those who have never had it, with a p-value of 0,000. Discussion: Significant productivity differences between nurses who have received lecture material about OHN and those who did not, which can be used as criticism or input for nursing education in Indonesia.

The Occupational Health Nursing Education Components Most Influenced by Informatics Technology Based on Gamification and Fogg's Models: a Case Study in Indonesia

“…This issue was raised because OHN competencies are very close to IT competencies in their work practices. OHN nurses in Indonesia are called 'Paramedics' in their workplace [15] [17]. So far, training related to OH is provided by the Government.…”

“…However, 25 campuses hold OH programs spread across Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Bali and Sulawesi offer bright future of OH nurses' career. The seven nursing specialization programs available at present are maternity nursing, pediatric, mental health, medical-surgical nursing, emergency nursing, community health nursing, and management of nursing [15] In the era of industry 4.0, the industrial world demands the presence of advanced practice of occupational health nurses who are produced through an organized educational process as stated in the 2014 nursing law [18]. Researchers stated that there was a discourse to establish OHN postgraduate program considering the urgent needs of the field [17] [18].…”
