Pemberian ASI eksklusif selama enam bulan pertama kehidupan bayi merupakan langkah penting dalam mendukung tumbuh kembang anak yang optimal dan menekan angka kematian bayi. Namun, keberhasilan praktik ini tidak hanya bergantung pada ibu, tetapi juga dipengaruhi oleh dukungan dari lingkungan terdekat, terutama suami. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi peran dukungan suami terhadap praktik pemberian ASI eksklusif di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Gilingan, Kota Surakarta menggunakan pendekatan teori social support for health. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Informan dipilih menggunakan teknik purposif yang terdiri dari lima suami ibu menyusui, lima ibu menyusui, dua keluarga ibu menyusui, enam kader kesehatan, dua tenaga kesehatan di puskesmas dan seorang staf dari Dinas Kesehatan Kota Surakarta. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan Focus Grop Discussion pada bulan Juni 2024 dan dianalisis menggunakan metode tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dukungan suami memainkan peran yang signifikan dalam praktik pemberian ASI eksklusif, yang mencakup dukungan emosional, instrumental, informasional, dan penghargaan. Dukungan emosional berupa motivasi dan empati menjadi pilar utama dalam mendorong ibu untuk tetap konsisten menyusui. Dukungan instrumental seperti membantu tugas rumah tangga juga memberikan ruang bagi ibu untuk fokus pada pemberian ASI dan dapat mempengaruhi produksi ASI. Selain itu, suami yang memiliki pemahaman yang baik tentang pentingnya ASI eksklusif cenderung mampu memberikan informasi yang relevan dan apresiasi terhadap usaha istri. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa keberhasilan ASI eksklusif tidak hanya memerlukan kesadaran dan komitmen ibu, tetapi juga keterlibatan aktif suami. Oleh karena itu, program promosi kesehatan perlu melibatkan suami secara lebih intensif untuk menciptakan lingkungan yang mendukung keberhasilan ASI eksklusif.

Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of a baby's life is a crucial step in supporting optimal child development and reducing infant mortality rates. However, the success of this practice does not solely depend on mothers but is also influenced by support from their immediate environment, especially husbands. This study aims to explore the role of husband support in exclusive breastfeeding practices in the working area of Puskesmas Gilingan, Surakarta City, using the social support for health theory approach. This research employs a qualitative design with a case study approach. Informants were purposively selected and comprised five husbands of breastfeeding mothers, five breastfeeding mothers, two family members of breastfeeding mothers, six health cadres, two healthcare workers at the community health center, and one staff member from the Surakarta City Health Office. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) in June 2024 and analyzed using a thematic method. The findings reveal that husband support plays a significant role in exclusive breastfeeding practices, encompassing emotional, instrumental, informational, and appraisal support. Emotional support, such as motivation and empathy, serves as a cornerstone in encouraging mothers to remain consistent in breastfeeding. Instrumental support, such as assisting with household chores, allows mothers to focus on breastfeeding and can influence milk production. Additionally, husbands with a good understanding of the importance of exclusive breastfeeding tend to provide relevant information and appreciation for their wives' efforts. This study concludes that the success of exclusive breastfeeding requires not only the awareness and commitment of mothers but also the active involvement of husbands. Therefore, health promotion programs should intensify the involvement of husbands to create an environment that supports the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

Di Indonesia, pengelolaan limbah medis di fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan masih menjadi perhatian karena berpotensi menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi kesehatan dan lingkungan apabila tidak dilakukan sesuai standar. Praktik pengelolaan limbah medis yang tidak tepat dapat meningkatkan risiko penularan penyakit dan pencemaran lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan praktik pengelolaan limbah medis pada tenaga pengelola limbah medis di Puskesmas Kota Bandung. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 100 responden yang berasal dari 80 puskesmas di Kota Bandung. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji chi-square dan regresi logistik model faktor prediksi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki praktik pengelolaan limbah medis yang baik sebesar 62%. Sebagian besar tenaga pengelola limbah medis memiliki pengetaahuan mengenai pengelolaan limbah medis baik, sikap terhadap pengelolaan limbah medis yang positif, tingkat pendidikan jenjang diploma, pengalaman kerja ≥ 7 tahun, memiliki ketersediaan APD dan ketersediaan fasilitas penunjang yang memadai, sudah pernah mengikuti pelatihan terkait limbah medis. Hampir seluruh responden memiliki ketersediaan SOP dan seluruh tenaga pengelola limbah medis memiliki pengawasan manajemen terhadap pengelolaan limbah medis di puskesmas tempat mereka bekerja. Variabel yang berhubungan secara signifikan dengan praktik pengelolaan limbah medis adalah pengetahuan, ketersediaan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD), dan ketersediaan fasilitas penunjang (p-value <0,05). Sementara itu, sikap, tingkat pendidikan, pengalaman kerja, pelatihan, ketersediaan SOP, dan pengawasan manajemen tidak menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan. Faktor yang paling dominan terhadap praktik pengelolaan limbah medis adalah ketersediaan fasilitas penunjang (aOR = 7,422; 95%CI = 1,988–16,355). Disarankan kepada puskesmas untuk mempertahankan, melengkapi, dan memastikan pemanfaatan fasilitas penunjang pengelolaan limbah medis dalam praktik sehari-hari.

In Indonesia, medical waste management in healthcare facilities remains a concern due to its potential negative impacts on health and the environment if not properly managed. Inappropriate medical waste management practices may increase the risk of disease transmission and environmental contamination. This study aims to analyze factors associated with medical waste management practices among medical waste handlers at primary health centers in Bandung City. This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 100 respondents from 80 primary health centers in Bandung City. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and logistic regression for predictive factor modeling. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good medical waste management practices (62%). Most medical waste handler had good knowledge of medical waste management and a positive attitude towards it. The majority of respondents had a diploma-level education, work experience of ≥ 7 years, availability of personal protective equipment (PPE), and adequate supporting facilities, and had attended training related to medical waste management. Almost all respondents had standard operating procedures (SOPs) available and all medical waste management personnel were under management supervision regarding medical waste management at their respective primary healthcare centers. Variables significantly associated with medical waste management practices were knowledge, availability of personal protective equipment (PPE), and availability of supporting facilities (p-value < 0.05). Meanwhile, attitude, education level, work experience, training, availability of standard operating procedures (SOP), and management supervision were not significantly associated. The most dominant factor influencing medical waste management practices was the availability of supporting facilities (aOR = 7.422; 95% CI = 1.988–16.355). It is recommended that primary health centers maintain, improve, and ensure the utilization of supporting facilities for medical waste management in daily practice.

Kecelakaan kerja masih menjadi persoalan serius di sektor pertambangan karena industri ini tergolong berisiko tinggi, sementara safety performance kerap digunakan sebagai indikator kinerja keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja (K3). Penelitian yang ada masih relatif menguji safety performance dari satu faktor secara terpisah. Oleh karena penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh praktik manajemen K3 terhadap safety performance melalui safety knowledge pada pekerja industri pertambangan tahun 2026. Desain yang digunakan adalah cross-sectional dengan metode survei yang diisi oleh 769 pekerja di dua perusahaan pertambangan di Indonesia. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner dan dianalisis secara bivariat dengan uji Chi-Square serta secara multivariat menggunakan Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa usia (p=0,01) dan posisi pekerjaan (p=0,029) memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan safety performance, sedangkan masa kerja (p=0,801) dan pendidikan (p=0,97) tidak menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa praktik manajemen K3 berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap safety performance, praktik manajemen K3 juga berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap safety knowledge, serta safety knowledge berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap safety performance. Selain itu, safety knowledge terbukti memediasi secara parsial pengaruh praktik manajemen K3 terhadap safety performance. Penelitian ini menyarankan agar perusahaan memperkuat konsistensi implementasi praktik manajemen K3, terutama aspek safety training dan safety communication and feedback, serta safety performance dalam aspek safety participation.

Workplace accidents remain a serious issue in the mining sector because the industry is considered high-risk, while safety performance is often used as an indicator of occupational safety and health (OHS) performance. Previous studies have relatively examined safety performance from a single factor separately. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between OHS management practices and safety performance through safety knowledge among mining workers in 2026. This study used a cross-sectional design with a survey method involving 769 workers from two mining companies in Indonesia. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed bivariately using the Chi-Square test and multivariately using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that age (p = 0.01) and job position (p = 0.029) were significantly associated with safety performance, whereas years of service (p = 0.801) and education level (p = 0.97) were not significantly associated. The results also showed that OHS management practices had a positive and significant effect on safety performance, OHS management practices had a positive and significant effect on safety knowledge, and safety knowledge had a positive and significant effect on safety performance. In addition, safety knowledge was proven to partially mediate the effect of OHS management practices on safety performance. This study suggests that companies should strengthen the consistency of implementing OHS management practices, especially in safety training and safety communication and feedback, as well as improve safety performance in the aspect of safety participation.
