Abstract

Introduction: Smoking has caused a heavy economic burden around the world. In Indonesia, in the South Sulawesi Region, smoking has become a habit. The economic losses caused by smoking have reached unreasonable limits, coupled with the increase in smoking in various regions of Indonesia, affecting the social life of the community. One of the efforts made by the Indonesian government is a policy related to Non-Smoking Areas (KTR). Methods: This study used qualitative and quantitative methods with a sample of 400 respondents from the total population of Palopo City. The qualitative method uses rapid ethnography to directly observe the habits of the people in the KTR. The quantitative method uses a survey of economic loss and community compliance with regional regulations and smoking habits in Palopo City. Results: The results show that the people of Palopo City are able to smoke an average of 14 cigarettes a day (1.70 USD), which is 420 cigarettes a month (51.06 USD), and are able to spend 5110 cigarettes (18637.99 USD) a year for one smoker. These costs are spent only on purchasing cigarettes and do not include the costs that must be paid by smokers to overcome health problems caused by smoking. This study also examines smokers' habits and their adherence to the KTR policy. Conclusion: The costs incurred for smoking in Palopo City are very high. Cost estimates can be used to evaluate cigarette tax rates and other tobacco-related policies. The habit and need for smoking are one of the factors contributing to the high costs incurred each year to buy cigarettes. The smoking habit which has a high risk of health problems and poor compliance is a challenge for the government and policy enforcers to pay more attention to this problem. To enhance the effectiveness of tobacco control, the government needs to increase cigarette taxes, strengthen the enforcement of Smoke-Free Areas (KTR), and expand public education programs on the dangers of smoking.

Abstract

Background: Occupational health refers to a series of efforts undertaken by an organization to maintain and enhance the physical, mental, and social well-being of its employees. In primary healthcare settings such as community health centers (puskesmas), workplace accidents are often attributed to human error, including a lack of attentiveness while performing tasks and the failure to use personal protective equipment properly. This study aims to examine the influence of the work environment, knowledge level, attitude, and the implementation of occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations on the performance and safety of healthcare workers at the UPTD Puskesmas Ueesi, East Kolaka Regency, in 2024. Method: A cross-sectional study design was employed. Bivariate analysis using the Mann-Whitney test was conducted to assess whether there is a statistically significant association between variables measured on an ordinal scale Result: The analysis revealed no statistically significant association between variables such as length of service, knowledge level, attitude, or working environment and the occurrence of workplace accidents. The Mann-Whitney test yielded an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value greater than 0.05, indicating no meaningful relationship between the variables examined in this study. Conclusion: The findings suggest that there is no significant relationship between the analyzed variables and the incidence of workplace accidents among healthcare workers at UPTD Puskesmas Ueesi. These results imply the possible presence of other contributing factors not examined in this study, warranting further research to gain a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

Dalam implementasi kebijakan kawasan tanpa rokok di RSUD Kabupaten Bombana memiliki faktor pendorong dan faktor penghambat yang menjadikan implementasi Kawasan tanpa rokok di RSUD Kabupaten Bombana terlaksanakan atau tidak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali lebih dalam tentang faktor yang menghambat implementasi kebijakan kawasan tanpa rokok di RSUD Kabupaten Bombana. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di RSUD Kabupaten Bombana. Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Pengumpulan data primer dan sekunder dilakukan melalui wawancara secara mendalam (indepth interview) dan observasi serta literatur review. Informan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 7 orang dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan kawasan tanpa rokok di RSUD Kabupaten Bombana tidak berjalan dengan baik. Sedangkan beberapa faktor penghambat, yaitu tingkat kepatuhan pegawai dan pengunjung yang tidak baik, sikap acuh atau tidak mematuhi aturan yang berlaku tentang Kawasan tanpa rokok dan pengetahuan  yang kurang serta tidak adanya sanksi yang dapat memberikan efek jera. Disarankan untuk pihak RSUD agar melakukan evaluasi implementasi kebijakan kawasan tanpa rokok ini untuk mengetahui berhasil atau tidaknya kebijakan ini diterapkan di RSUD Kabupaten Bombana, untuk pegawai atau tim yang ditunjuk sebagai penanggung jawab program KTR agar lebih aktif lagi dalam menjalankan programnya dan membuat inovasi atau terobosan yang lebih efektif dalam mensosialisasikan program KTR, pemberian sanksi tegas oleh pelanggar aturan, tidak hanya berupa teguran. Misal, untuk pegawai yang ketahuan merokok di area rumah sakit bisa memotong insentif pegawai tersebut.
