Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding for infants with working mothers still becomes a significant problem. The provision of on-site lactation rooms has not substantially impacted the utilization of lactation rooms. This study analyzes the factors that influence the utilization of breastfeeding rooms by health workers in all public health centers in Medan City. This study is a quantitative study using a cross-sectional design. The study involved 78 health workers who breastfed children under two years old. The determination of the sample used the total sampling technique. The results show knowledge (0.000), attitudes (0.002), practice (0.008), support from health workers (0.000), the availability of lactation rooms (0.000), and formula feeding (0.000) affect the utilization of breastfeeding rooms. The regression test results show that knowledge is the most influential factor in the utilization of the lactation room. Respondents with good knowledge have 9.477 times more opportunities to use the lactation room than respondents with poor knowledge. It can be concluded that the use of lactation rooms is influenced by factors such as knowledge, attitudes, practice, support from health workers, availability of lactation rooms, and formula feeding. It is recommended for local governments to provide adequate and comfortable facilities at each institution's offices to increase the utilization of breastfeeding rooms. The provision of a comfortable lactation room has implications for the mother's willingness to use the lactation room. However, it becomes difficult to realize without the support of colleagues.

Abstract

Nosocomial infection is an infection originating from a hospital caused by hospital staff or health workers during the health service process or hospital visitors. The background of this research is the lack of role of nurses in the process of preventing nosocomial infections. The purpose of this study was to explain the role of nurses in preventing nosocomial infections at RSU Royal Prima. This type of research uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with informants so that they can clearly and in-depth know the role of nurses in preventing nosocomial infections at RSU Royal Prima. The results showed that nurses already know how to report to a doctor if there are signs and symptoms of infection and transmission of infectious diseases and protect against precautions while on duty at the hospital. However, there are still nurses who do not know optimally in terms of maintaining hospital cleanliness. In maintaining hand hygiene, nurses only know in terms of hand washing, the implementation is not in accordance with the procedure. In using Personal Protective Equipment, nurses know their role in terms of wearing masks and gloves, but in practice there are still nurses who have not used Personal Protective Equipment according to standards. In addition, there are obstacles for nurses in preventing nosocomial infections such as inadequate infrastructure.
