This study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample is all nurses at RSCM. Data collection was carried out through questionnaires. The results of the study show that most of the nurses in Building A RSCM strongly agree with the importance of nursing documentation and realize that good documentation can improve the quality of patient service. This is indicated by the r-table ≥ calculation with 15 items that have been declared valid. With KMO values of 0.772, 0.696, and 0.624 above 0.5 with a significance value (Sig.) of 0.000. In addition, there is a positive correlation between subjective norms and attitudes. The relationship between attitudes and subjective norms is quite strong. The majority of nurses also have a positive attitude towards documentation, such as being confident, consistent, and having good intentions. Factors that influence documentation practices include: a supportive work environment, availability of assistive devices, sufficient time, and support from colleagues. Integrated inpatient nurses in Building A of RSCM have a high awareness of the importance of nursing documentation.
