Indonesia is a country prone to experiencing natural hazards and disasters, which have frequently damaged public infrastructure, including hospitals. The role of hospitals is crucial to alleviate the impact of disasters. However, there is still a lack of study that analyzes the factors that influence the readiness of hospitals in emergency situations. Filling in this gap, the aim of this paper is to analyze and rank hospitals across West Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia by the resilience of their emergency management approaches. This research seeks to measure hospital resiliency during emergencies and disasters. Results indicate that the emergency and disaster management coordination, response and disaster recovery planning, communication and information management, logistics and evacuation, human resources, finance, patient care and support services, decontamination and security are key attributes for the decision-making matrix. Based on the Hospital Safety Index tool, this research proposes the Hospital Emergency and Disaster Management (HEDM) index by combining the key attributes and sub-attributes using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) as a multi-attribute decision-making technique. The paper concludes that the anticipated benefits of analyzing the resilience of hospitals by using HEDM is the identification of the most susceptible hospitals based on their levels of readiness and resiliency in areas which are prone to experiencing disasters. This prioritization is important for resource allocation and budget planning.

Indonesia is country with abundant high-risk areas for various disasters that can affect both the structural and non-structural safety of various vital establishments, particularly hospitals. This present study aims to examine the level of the hospital safety index in nine hospitals in four provinces based on the guidelines from the WHO/PAHO (World Health Organization/Pan American Health Organization). The Hospital Safety Index (HSI) guidelines consist of four parameters that include the types of hazards, structural safety, non-structural safety, disasters and emergency managements. This study was a cross-sectional study on data obtained through interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), observations, and document reviews to assess the parameters of the HSI. Data were calculated for the HSI score, and descriptive statistics and multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) were carried out. The SPSS software version 25.0 was used for the statistical analysis. Results show that the overall safety index was 0.673 (Level A), meaning that it is likely the hospital will maintain functionality in emergencies and disasters. By province, the level A index was identified in DKI Jakarta (0.76), Yogyakarta (0.709), and West Java (0.673), showing that hospitals in these provinces will maintain functionality in emergency and disaster situations; however, in North Sumatera, the index was categorized in B category (0.507), demonstrating that the hospital’s ability to function during and after emergencies and disasters is potentially at risk. The multiple correspondence analysis shows that the hospitals in the provinces of Yogyakarta and West Java tend to achieve similar categories in almost all assessment modules; therefore, control measures of preparedness should be considered, such as improvements in equipment and facilities; hospital emergency and disaster response and recovery planning; communication and information management; training; and relevant stakeholders awareness.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the primary healthcare center (PHC) as a whole-of-society approach to health that aims at ensuring the highest possible level of health and well-being and their equitable distribution by focusing on people’s needs as early as possible along the continuum from health promotion and disease prevention to treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative care, and as close as feasibly possible to people’s everyday environment. PHCs are expected to remain operational when disasters occur. This study aimed to assess the PHC disaster preparedness level in Indonesia using The Hospital Safety Index (HSI) from WHO/PAHO. Eleven PHCs located in four provinces in Indonesia, i.e., Jakarta, Yogyakarta, North Sumatera, and West Java, were selected. Data were collected through interviews, focus-group discussions (FGDs), observations, and document reviews. The parameters assessed were all types of hazards, structural or construction safety, nonstructural safety, and functional attributes. The results show that the overall score of HSI for PHCs in Jakarta (0.674) and North Sumatera (0.752) fell into the “A” category, meaning that these PHCs would likely remain operational in the case of disasters. Meanwhile, the overall HSI scores for PHCs in West Java (0.601) and Yogyakarta (0.602) were between 0.36 and 0.65, or in “B” category, meaning that these PHCs would be able to recover during disasters but several services would be exposed to danger. The results suggested that there are several gaps that need urgent interventions to be applied for the structural safety of buildings, water supply systems, fuel storage, disaster committee organization, furniture and fittings, offices and storage equipment, as well as increasing the capacity of workers through a structured and systematic training framework for disaster readiness. The results from this study can be used for prioritizing budgets and resource allocation, cost planning, providing specific solutions for local and national government, and efforts to achieve disaster risk reduction.

Salah satu wujud kepedulian Perguruan Tinggi terhadap lingkungan sosial dan budaya masyarakat (Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi) adalah Pengabdian masyarakat. Dengan terjalinnya hubungan yang serasi antara Perguruan Tinggi dengan masyarakat, maka diharapkan adanya masukan untuk perbaikan mutu Perguruan Tinggi dimata masyarakat yang memerlukannya. Telah dilaksanakan Kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat Penyuluhan Kesehatan Pemeriksaan Kesehatan Tekanan Darah, Haemoglobin, Kadar gula darah, Kadar Asam urat dan Kadar Kolesterol di Desa Telaga Sari Tanjung Morawa Pada Hari Jumat tanggal 2 Oktober 2020. Sebelum dilakukan penyuluhan, pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai penyakit hipertensi, diabetes, asam urat, kolesterol dan anemia masi sangat rendah. Setelah dilakukan penyuluhan, dilakukan kembali evaluasi berupa post tes pada orang yang sama sebanyak 20 orang, didapatkan semua masyarakat sudah meningkat pengetahuannya. Pemeriksaan Kesehatan bagi masarakat Desa Telaga Sari Kecamatan Tanjung Morawa Kabupaten Deli Serdang berjumlah 103 Orang yang terdiri dari 20 orang Laki- laki dan 83 orang perempuan dimana usia yang di atas 40 tahun berjumlah 74 orang, yang tekanan darahnya meninggi berjumlah 44 orang (49,7%), kadar Hb yang di bawah normal berjumlah 18 orang (17,47%) Kadar gula darah yang meninggi 32 orang (31,6 %), Kadar asam Urat yang meninggi berjumlah 15 orang (14,6 % ) dan 53 orang (51,45 % ) yang kadar kolesterolnya yang meninggi.

Styrofoam adalah material dari polytrene kemasan yang umumnya berwarna putih dan kaku yang sering digunakan sebagai kotak pembungkus makanan. Styrofoam dijadikan wadah makanan karena murah, mudah didapat, tidak mudah rusak, tidak perlu dibersihkan, dan dapat langsung dibuang ketika sudah tidak digunakan. Akan tetapi Styrofoam berbahaya bagi kesehatan dan lingkungan. Tujuan penulisan literatur review ini untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan dan sikap masyarakat terhadap penggunaan Styrofoam sebagai wadah makanan. Metode yang digunakan adalah literatur review dengan mencari sumber informasi melalui database secara online didapatkan sebanyak 271 jurnal dari tiga database kemudian di screening sehingga didapatkan 9 artikel jurnal yang terdiri dari jurnal nasional dan jurnal internasional yang dapat dianalisis sesuai dengan topik yang diangkat. Berdasarkan hasil literatur didapatkan bahwa pengetahuan dan sikap masyarakat berhubungan dengan penggunaan Styrofoam sebagai wadah makanan.
