Abstract

Background : Plastic waste from infusion bottles and hemodialysis solution containers constitutes a major component of hospital-generated hazardous waste (B3). Effective management of this material is essential to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable hospital practices. The Universitas Gadjah Mada Academic Hospital (RSA UGM) has implemented a systematic approach to optimize its handling and utilization. Objective : This study aims to evaluate the utilization and effectiveness of managing infusion bottle waste and used hemodialysis solution containers at RSA UGM in terms of cost efficiency and microbial reduction. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : This descriptive observational study applied a cross- sectional design. Primary data were obtained through observation and in-depth interviews, while secondary data were collected from hospital documents. Data collection was conducted between September and November 2021. The analysis focused on process efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and microbiological safety. Results : From January 2020 to October 2021, RSA UGM produced 16,467.17 kg of infusion and hemodialysis plastic waste, consisting of 76% infusion bottles and 24% jerrycans. The management process involved segregation, washing, chlorine disinfection, shredding, and licensed disposal. Microbial analysis indicated a substantial decrease in contamination levels—from 1.2×104 cfu/g before to 2.2×102 cfu/g after decontamination. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : The waste management system implemented at RSA UGM demonstrated microbiological effectiveness, indicating that structured handling and recycling of medical plastic waste can significantly support environmentally sustainable healthcare operations.

Abstract

Background : Stunting remains one of the major public health issues in Indonesia, particularly among children under five. The decline in stunting prevalence nationally shows a positive trend, but challenges remain at the regional level, including in East Kalimantan. Objective : This study aims to analyze trends in stunting prevalence and its determinants in East Kalimantan, using data from the 2024 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI), to inform regional policy interventions. Research Methods/ Implementation Methods : The method used is a descriptive, quantitative approach with a comparative analysis of national data Results : The results indicate that all districts/cities in East Kalimantan reported stunting prevalence rates above the national average in 2024, except for Kutai Kartanegara. Factors such as the high incidence of closely spaced pregnancies, low participation in prenatal classes, the proportion of babies born with low birth weight and short birth length (LBW and SBL), the quality of complementary feeding (MPASI), low consumption of iron tablets among pregnant women, limited coverage of vitamin A supplementation, low public awareness about stunting, suboptimal performance of family assistance teams, adequate sanitation and drinking water are believed to contribute to the high prevalence in East Kalimantan. Conclusion/Lesson Learned : These findings underscore the importance of sustainable, specific, and sensitive nutrition interventions, as well as a multisectoral approach involving families and communities. This study is expected to serve as a reference for local governments in developing evidence-based policies to accelerate stunting reduction in East Kalimantan.
