ABSTRACT
Human rights within the realm of healthcare demand tangible realization through Health Development initiatives aimed at enhancing the well-being of individuals, families, and society by instilling robust health practices. Positioned as a fundamental national objective, underscored in the preamble of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the pursuit of Public Welfare necessitates the enactment of Health Development measures. Such endeavors find manifestation through the facilitation of healthcare services, inclusive of nursing care. Within the evolving landscape of scientific inquiry, concerted efforts have been made to optimize nursing services, leveraging the pivotal role of educational institutions and allied stakeholders. The advent of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, heralded on August 8, 2023, stands as a watershed moment, furnishing nurses with a blueprint for elevating service standards.
The purview of this discourse encompasses an exploration into the Legal Safeguards for Nurses in Nursing Administration and a Legal Analysis of Patient-Nurse Relations vis-à-vis Nursing Administration, as delineated in Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health. Adopting a juridical normative research approach, which draws upon legal precepts enshrined in statutes, judicial pronouncements, and societal legal norms, this study relies on library research methodology to unearth theoretical underpinnings and research imperatives.
With regard to the rights and obligations delineated for nurses and patients in nursing administration, a deeper exploration reveals intricate regulations embedded within Article 273 of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health, specifically articulated in Part Nine, addressing the rights and obligations of medical and health personnel. Further elaboration is provided in Paragraph 1, which expounds upon the rights and duties incumbent upon medical practitioners and health professionals, including nurses. Meanwhile, the responsibilities incumbent upon medical and health personnel in the execution of their professional duties are codified in Articles 274 and 275. Delving into patient entitlements, Article 276 elucidates the rights of patients within the ambit of healthcare legislation, while delineating corresponding obligations in Article 277.
