Abstract

Central Sulawesi is one of the regions in Indonesia that is prone to disasters. In September 2018, there was a disaster in Central Sulawesi which resulted in damage and losses of up to IDR 18.48 trillion. In Palu City, 2,141 people died, while 44 health facilities damaged by the earthquake, tsunami and liquefaction were recorded. Purpose: The research objective was to determine the preparedness of the Regional General Hospital of Central Sulawesi Province in facing disasters. Methods: Qualitative methods with a case study approach and quantitative methods with descriptive models by using the Hospital Safety Index checklist. Data collection through triangulation techniques namely in-depth interviews, observation and documentation using interview guidelines. Research Results and Discussion: The research found that the readiness of human resources was sufficient, while the facilities and means for handling disaster victims were still lacking. Disaster management SOP is still lacking. Budget readiness in handling disaster victims is not specifically budgeted. Hospital health workers do not yet know about disaster preparedness, especially their duties and functions as a hospital disaster response team. Corrective action is required in the short term. The status of preparedness is adequate, but health facilities are judged to be resilient to patient safety and hospital staff and other essential services are at risk of functioning during and after a disaster. Overall, of the 3 stages in the preparedness process, there are still many team members who do not know these stages including other health workers. Conclusion: It is recommended to immediately form a new disaster management team in the form of a Disaster Management Preparedness Team for Hospitals (Hospital Disaster Preparedness Team) and disseminate it to all Team members including all hospital employees, make improvements to HDP documents and simulation and training is necessary at least once a year. Improve team preparedness in disaster.
