Abstract

Hospitals play a critical role in preventing nosocomial infections, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is a key strategy for protecting healthcare workers and preventing pathogen transmission. This cross-sectional quantitative study aimed to assess the influence of the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Committee's performance on PPE compliance at Sembiring Hospital. A total of 57 healthcare workers participated and were surveyed using structured questionnaires. Data were analysed using univariate, bivariate (Chi-square) and multivariate (logistic regression) methods. All IPC performance indicators, surveillance, supervision, policy and procedure development, training, education effectiveness, participation and collaboration, and PPE availability, were significantly associated with PPE compliance. Multivariate analysis showed that education effectiveness had a significant effect on compliance (p = 0.002; Exp(B) = 16.655; 95% CI: 2.707?90.543). These findings suggest that strengthening the IPC Committee's role in delivering effective education is essential to improve PPE compliance among healthcare workers. For policy and practice, hospitals should prioritise continuous IPC training programmes and institutionalise periodic competency assessments to enhance adherence to PPE protocols and safeguard both staff and patients Keywords: IPC Committee, PPE Compliance, Infection Prevention, Hospital Policy

Abstract

Voluntary blood donation and food assistance programs are two critical pillars of community service that address healthcare and socioeconomic disparities simultaneously. This community service activity, conducted by Lions Club Medan Angkasa (District 307 A2) in collaboration with PMI Kota Medan, aimed to increase blood stock availability while alleviating food insecurity among underprivileged communities in Medan. The combined event — "Baksos Donor Darah dan Charity Pasar Murah Sembako" — was held at the AXA Trust Agency Office, Jl. S. Mahameru No. 6 BC, Medan. Activities included voluntary blood collection, a subsidized staple food (sembako) market, and free health screening. A total of 120 voluntary donors registered; 108 successfully completed blood donation (90% success rate), yielding 108 blood bags (340cc each). Simultaneously, 200 staple food packages were distributed at subsidized prices, and free health checks were provided to 175 participants. Participant satisfaction surveys indicated 93% very satisfied. Building upon the success of the previous blood donation drive (Anto et al., 2025), this initiative further demonstrates the effectiveness of integrated community-based health and social welfare programs organized by Lions Club Medan Angkasa.
