Introduction: Newly hospitalized patients often face some situations that have not been recognized or faced previously. Meanwhile, admission orientation can help inpatients to adapt and reduce their anxiety, but it has not been carried out optimally in some hospitals in Indonesia. Therefore, innovative media is needed to improve the efficiency and increase the willingness of nurses in carrying out admission orientation.
Objective: This study aims to identify the effect of implementing website-based digital media about admission orientation on nurses' compliance with the procedure for new patient admissions.
Design and Method: This is a quantitative study with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample population consists of nurses in the inpatient ward, and a total of 21 samples were then selected using the total sampling method. Subsequently, statistical analysis was carried out on the data obtained using the paired t-test.
Results: The results showed that the p-value was 0.001 (< 0.05), indicating there was a significant difference between the nurse compliance level before and after implementing the web-based digital media. Furthermore, the average pretest score was 90, while the average posttest score was 94.6.
Conclusions: Based on the results, there was an increase in the level of nurse compliance after the intervention.
