1. INTRODUCTION
Why do some sick people get well without medicine and others cannot? This research departs from
this question. Many perspectives explain the basis of the concept of health and illness in humans, ranging
from preventive, curative and rehabilitative studies, all of which are discussed in various approaches such as
medicine [1], psychology [2], epidemiology [3], service quality [4], to the concept of customer satisfaction
[5]. How about Islam? The Islamic perspective explains that "being healthy" is part of the greatest blessings
of Allah, although basically, health is not necessarily better than being sick because these two cases have the
same potential to be labelled good and evil in the sight of Allah [6]. The question is, does this then weaken
the concept of healthy? Of course not; this is precisely the focus of Islam. God gives justice that humans are
entitled to merit and sin from their health and sickness. What can be done in a state of health is better than
what can be done in a state of illness. Humans in good health can be more productive to work, worship and
preach [7]. Prof. Quraish Shihab argues, "healthy" in Islam essentially describes the functioning of all human
physical and spiritual potential so that they can achieve their goals on this earth [8]; thus, a healthy human
being is "a human being who is prosperous, physically and spiritually balanced, and beneficial in his
presence on an ongoing basis" [9].
As it is known that physical and psychological are one unit [10]. The physical condition affects the
psyche and vice versa; the psychic affects the physical state [11]. Cases in the health sector show that people
who experience depression significantly affect their sleep patterns, whereas lack of sleep affects a person's
mental health [12]. This reciprocal influence shows the existence of a healthy psyche and a psychological
disorder in the sick person. This fact is the focus of researchers to explore the influence of emotional and
psychological forces in moving individuals to escape from defeat against physical pain. Because actually,
peace of mind can encourage intrinsic motivation to recover from illness so that individuals only need to get
adequate rest and treatment, not merely the result of taking drugs.
Psychologically, the urge to recover from illness is called healing motivation. When the driving
force is strong, recovery efforts will be carried out in earnest and directed so that the chances of recovery are
more significant. However, when the driving force is weak, recovery efforts are not taken seriously, so that
the possibility of recovery tends to be more prolonged or even tricky [13], [14]. Therefore, someone who is
declared to be suffering from a particular disease if he does not have a strong healing motivation is believed
to hinder the healing process [15].
In health services, the picture of the healing motivation of inpatients is an average of 2.36%-4% in
terms of aspects of positive attitudes towards illness and aspects of intrinsic motivation [16]. In the aspect of
a positive attitude towards illness, the low motivation to recover is indicated by the patient's refusal to receive
treatment from health workers; such as refusing to take medicine because there is no change after taking
medicine regularly, denying the officer's explanation and wanting to find another expert as a comparison,
complaining of pain but not wanting to follow the officer's instructions, refusing to maintain eating and
sleeping patterns. Meanwhile, the intrinsic motivation aspect is indicated by; low hope for recovery does not
want to be a burden on the family, resigned to the situation and chose death as the best way. If not handled,
the low motivation for healing will increase death in patients [17]. For this reason, the problem of healing
motivation requires intervention; Of course, the intervention that can increase knowledge and confidence to
recover is the availability of quality health services [18].
In connection with efforts to maintain the quality of health services in hospitals, it is inseparable
from the vital role of health workers (nurses). According to Patricia Iyer, in carrying out health services,
nurses have three service functions, namely: independent function, dependent function, and cooperating
function [19]. Of the three service functions, the independent function has the most challenging task because
nurses are tasked with providing calm and comfort in the patient's treatment process. This is where
interpersonal competence is needed in overcoming the problem of healing motivation because of the failure
to build a therapeutic relationship between nurses and patients [16]. Good interpersonal competence can
build a therapeutic relationship. Patients need a sense of security and comfort during the treatment process.
This feeling will arise when the patient is accepted for who he is, motivated, respected, and treated in a
friendly manner; In addition, nurses are also expected to be able to understand the patient's anxiety, do not
differentiate social status, and be responsive to any changes experienced by the patient [20], [21].
Caring for the sick does require extra patience, especially for the elderly; everything can not be
separated from the professionalism of nurses in their interpersonal roles. Although the implementation of
treatment must be professional, there is something more critical that Islam emphasizes to achieve its goal,
namely treatment with "Akhlakul Karimah", this is where the role of integrity is needed. Then, what is
integrity? According to the guidance of the Prophet, integrity is the concept of consistency in acting based on
values, ethical principles, and loyalty with full awareness and a sense of responsibility in Islam [22]. The lack
of integrity in nurses' interpersonal competence only makes interpersonal competence no more than
communication skills, with more extreme language such as "role-playing" or "acting". The behaviour that
appears is not purely based on good morals and will be finished when the show is over; in such
circumstances, nurses will do a mere routine, nothing more than physical activity that results in fatigue.
Referring to the personality of the Prophet, the morals that Muslim nurses must possess are:
i) Al-Luthfu (hospitality); a sign of humility and piety. ii) Al-Adab (courtesy); respect for patients based on
shame for fear of doing not commendable things, so they try to avoid reproach and humiliation. iii) Al-'Uthfu
(tenderness in the form of attention); the virtue of putting the patient's interests first, willing to listen to
patient complaints, trying to keep promises and helping with love. iv) As-Shabru (patient); related to the
control of lust and the search for meaning or wisdom in every good and bad experience [23]. By applying the
integrity of Islamic interpersonal competence, nurses are expected to provide peace and comfort to inpatients.
There is a process of educative interaction in the dynamics of good interpersonal relationships, such
as transfer of reference, transfer of knowledge, transfer of motivation, and supportive attention. The

establishment of educational interactions between nurses and patients can affect the motivation to heal; this is
by what is stated in the book "Hospital Accreditation Standards 2012 version" that nurses have a dual role,
namely functioning as "therapeutic personnel as well as educators" [24]. This process occurs when the nurse
establishes contact with the patient, such as when visiting, examining, caring for, or rehabilitating in
preparation for discharge. By using the integrity of Islamic interpersonal competence, educational
interactions are carried out with a friendly attitude, courtesy, attention, and patience in the form of advice or
information. In addition, nurses also act as facilitators in establishing a conducive environment to motivate
patients to follow their directions properly. This situation is referred to as the therapeutic education process,
which starts from the pre-interaction phase (data collection and planning), the orientation phase (conducting
cognitive, psychomotor, and affective validation), the work phase (doing therapy, care, and medication), and
the termination phase (discontinuation or follow-up process) [25]. This therapeutic education is provided to
help patients better participate in treatment and make decisions about their care [26].
Based on the background above, this discussion is helpful for researchers to understand the facts
related to Ukhuwah Islamiyah, healing motivation, therapeutic education and health services with Islamic
integrity at the Banjarmasin Islamic Hospital. The main objective of this study was to "know the effect of the
integrity of Islamic interpersonal competence as a therapeutic education process with healing motivation in
patients at Banjarmasin General Hospital". Then specifically, namely: i) To determine the patient's
characteristics (including gender, age, and education), ii) To determine the frequency distribution of the
patient's healing motivation, iii) To determine the patient's perception of the integrity of Islamic interpersonal
competence in nurses, iv) To determine the partial relationship of each aspect of the integrity of Islamic
interpersonal competence (Al-Luthfu, Al-Adab, Al-'Uthfu and As-Shabru) on the motivation of healing
patients, and v) To know the process of therapeutic education during patient care and its obstacles.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
This type of research is non-experimental research which is classified as Field Research, while the
research design uses Mixed Methods [27], namely: a mixed-method that combines quantitative (closed
questions) and qualitative (open questions) approaches to answer research questions [28]. The subjects in this
study were 147 Muslim patients who received inpatient services at the Banjarmasin Islamic Hospital. The
research subjects were obtained through consecutive sampling techniques with the following criteria: patients
who have good consciousness, are treated for at least three days, receive services from the hospital 3x24
hours, and are willing to be respondents. The independent variable in this study is the integrity of Islamic
interpersonal competence (aspects that reflect it consist of Al-Luthfu, Al-Adab, Al-'Uthfu, and As-Shabru). At
the same time, the dependent variable is healing motivation.
The data collection method for the first stage (quantitative) used a Likert model scale with four
answer options (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly agree) and two types of statements (favourable and
unfavourable). The research scale consists of the Islamic Health Service Scale (a total of 23 items with a
reliability coefficient of 0.973) and the Healing Motivation Scale (a total of 20 items with a reliability
coefficient of 0.964). The rating on the favourite items starts from four to one, while the assessment on the
unfavourable item starts from one to four. The data obtained were then analyzed by Chi-Square (to find out
the partial relationship of each aspect of the integrity of Islamic interpersonal competence with healing
motivation) and Logistic Regression (to determine the effect of the integrity aspect of Islamic interpersonal
competence on the healing motivation simultaneously) with a significance value rule of <0.05. Second stage
(qualitative) phase, data were obtained through interviews and observations during the therapeutic education
process (covering the pre-interaction phase, orientation phase, work phase, termination phase) using an
inquiry interview and an observation guide consisting of a secondary data checklist form and a process record
form of patient therapeutic education. The data were then analyzed using Taxonomy to determine the
motivation of the patient's healing, perception of the integrity of Islamic interpersonal competence in nurses,
and the obstacles during the therapeutic education process.

The results of the Omnibus Test on this coefficient model produce an x 2 value of 86.984 with a
significance of 0.000 (p-value <0.25), so this regression model can be used to predict healing motivation.
Thus, it can be said that simultaneously there is a very significant influence of aspects of Al-Luthfu, Al-'Uffu,
and As-Shabru on the motivation of healing. Furthermore, to determine how much contribution these three
aspects make to the healing motivation, the Nagelkerke R Square test can be done.
4. DISCUSSION
The results of this study indicate that the As-Shabru aspect occupies the highest position in
influencing healing motivation. Then, "Why does the patience of nurses greatly affect the motivation of
healing in patients?". To answer this question, the researcher makes an underlying reason.
5. CONCLUSION
From the results of this study, several points can be concluded. On average, inpatients at RSI
Banjarmasin have high healing motivation. On average, inpatients at RSI Banjarmasin have a lousy
perception of the integrity of the Islamic interpersonal competence of nurses. Partially, the aspects of Al-
Int J Public Health Sci, Vol. 11, No. 1, March 2022: 359-368
Int J Public Health Sci ISSN: 2252-8806 365
Luthfu, Al-Adab, Al-'Uthfu, and As-Shabru are related to the motivation for healing inpatients at RSI
Banjarmasin. Barriers experienced by nurses during the therapeutic education process for patients are: nurses
are not ready to provide education, the information provided between nurses and other nurses is inconsistent,
there is no priority to provide education, and the limited time nurses have in providing education. While the
obstacles experienced by patients are: stress due to coronary disease, less representative environment, limited
time due to early discharge, undirected educational targets, and lack of support from nurses.
