Abstract

Early Warning Score (EWS) is a device to identify patients' worsening conditions
with a simple scoring system to improve safety and prevent patient emergency conditions.
Timeliness, competence, and knowledge of nurses in conducting EWS assessments could
change patient safety. Delays and inaccuracies in the use of EWS lead to aggravating the
patient's condition with an increased risk of death. Therefore, it requires a rapid and
accurate response time. Response time is a rate indicator in patient handling calculated
from the patient arrives time or experiences a decrease in condition until medication.
Consequently, all actions during emergency conditions must be truly effective and
efficient. The study intended to determine the relationship between nurses' knowledge
about Early Warning Score (EWS) and nurses' response time in managing emergency
patients in the Emergency Room.
This study adopted an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional
design. The sample was 30 nurses who work in the emergency room of RSUD Dr.
Moewardi Surakarta by the total sampling technique.
Spearman's rho test obtained a p-value of 0.626 (p<0.05). Therefore, Ha was
rejected, and Ho was accepted. It implied no significant relationship between the nurse's
knowledge of the Early Warning Score (EWS) variable and the nurses' response time in
handling emergency patients. The results of this study expect nurses to preserve and
enhance Early Warning Score (EWS) knowledge and the implementation of nurse
response time in managing emergency patients.
Keywords: Early Warning Score, Response Time, Emergency.
