Abstract

ABSTRACT Healthcare facilities have the potential to be reservoirs for various pathogenic microorganisms that can cause nosocomial infections. The presence of microorganisms on the surfaces of medical devices, treatment rooms, and ambient air can increase the risk of disease transmission to patients and healthcare workers. This study aims to identify and characterize pathogenic microorganisms found in healthcare environments. The study used a descriptive laboratory design with an observational approach. Samples were taken from treatment table surfaces, door handles, medical devices, and room air using swab and air sedimentation methods. Identification was carried out through culture examination, Gram staining, and biochemical tests. The results showed the presence of pathogenic bacterial isolates such as Staphylococcus aureus. aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Some isolates showed resistance to certain antibiotics. It was concluded that healthcare environments have the potential to be a source of infection transmission, necessitating strict infection monitoring and control.

Abstract

Hand hygiene is one of the most effective interventions in preventing the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms in healthcare facilities. The hands of healthcare workers can transmit microorganisms that cause nosocomial infections if standard hand hygiene practices are not followed. This study aimed to analyze the role of hand hygiene in reducing microbial contamination. The study used a quasi-independent design. This study used a pretest - posttest approach . The study sample consisted of 40 healthcare workers who underwent hand swab tests before and after hand hygiene measures according to WHO standards. Microorganism identification was performed through culture and Gram staining. The results showed a significant decrease in the number of microorganism colonies after hand hygiene (p < 0.05). It was concluded that hand hygiene plays an important role in reducing microorganism contamination and supporting the prevention of healthcare-associated infections.

Abstract

Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) is a form of natural resource utilization that plays a role in public health promotion and prevention efforts. Utilization of TOGA can increase family independence in maintaining health and reduce dependence on synthetic drugs for minor complaints. This study aims to analyze the level of TOGA utilization and its impact on improving family health. The study used a descriptive analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 60 heads of families who have TOGA plants in region X. Data were collected through questionnaires and direct observation. The results showed that 75% of respondents utilized TOGA for minor complaints such as coughs, fevers, and digestive disorders. Utilization of TOGA is associated with increased healthy living behavior and decreased use of chemical drugs for minor complaints (p < 0.05). It is concluded that TOGA plays an important role in supporting efforts to improve family health.
