Abstract

This study investigated the cultural resilience of Bima Hospital staff in medical waste management, focusing on how cultural values, organizational norms, and staff attitudes influence the effectiveness of waste management strategies. Medical waste management at Bima Regional General Hospital involves nursing staff, cleaning service officers, medical waste officers, and sanitarians, who each play a role in sorting, packaging, transporting, and storing medical waste in TPS. Because Bima Regional Hospital does not have an incinerator, waste treatment is car-ried out by a third party. This study used a mixed methods approach, including qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys, to evaluate waste management practices and the cultural resilience that sup-ports them. The results show that staff exhibit a high level of cultural resilience, characterized by adaptive practices and innovative solutions in the face of operational challenges. Although a mixture of medical and non-medical waste was still found, a culture of good management was maintained with appropriate segregation and storage. This study recommends recording waste volume per room and involving all personnel in waste management as steps to improve the sustainability of the medical waste management system.
