Abstract

Stock control is essential for maintaining reliable hospital logistics processes. Preliminary observations at Adinda Medical Centre Hospital identified inaccurate stock records, limited logistics personnel, procurement delays, and inefficient distribution. This study analyzed the associations of medical and non-medical stock control with hospital logistics processes at Adinda Medical Centre Hospital, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. A quantitative descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 106 respondents selected by simple random sampling from a population of 145 employees involved in requesting, using, or managing medical and non-medical goods. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, and risk estimates at a significance level of 0.05. Good medical stock control was reported by 63 respondents (59.4%), good non-medical stock control by 60 respondents (56.6%), and good hospital logistics processes by 66 respondents (62.3%). Medical stock control was significantly associated with hospital logistics processes (p = 0.001; OR = 9.792; 95% CI: 3.938–24.352), whereas non-medical stock control was not statistically significant (p = 0.061). These findings indicate that strengthening medical stock planning, recording, monitoring, storage, and distribution should be prioritized while non-medical stock management continues to be improved for operational support.
