Abstract

The high number of active and passive smokers is one of the public health issues in Indonesia. To address the prevalence of passive smoking cases, the Ministry of Health has implemented the Smoke-Free Zones (SFZs) policy, particularly in hospitals, under the joint regulation of the Minister of Health Number 188/MENKES/PB/I/2011 and Number 7 of 2011. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of the Smoke-Free Zones policy in Kendari City Public Hospital based on the input, process, and output indicators. This study adopted a qualitative case study approach. The findings indicated that, for input indicators, there was a written policy for the SFZs, but there was a lack of healthcare personnel assigned to monitor SFZs. Although the promotional media had been installed, but the Standard Operating Procedures had not been still set yet. Regarding process indicators, socialization activities were predominantly conducted face-to-face. However, specialized training for SFZs monitors had not yet been provided by the HPH unit. In terms of output indicators, warnings had been issued to smokers, but there was still a lack of sanctions for violators. The influencing factors of the continued violation of the SFZs policy at Kendari City Public Hospital included the lack of awareness regarding the posted regulations. While the implementation of the SFZs policy at Kendari City Public Hospital had shown satisfactory progress based on input, process, and output indicators, certain aspects such as the schedule for socialization activities, utilization of electronic media, and enforcement of sanctions for violators needed to be evaluated by the HPH unit for the effective execution of the SFZs policy at Kendari City Public Hospital.
