Abstract

Hospital waste includes solid, liquid, paste (gel), or gas forms from hospital activities, often containing infectious microorganisms, and is categorized into medical and non-medical waste. Proper management is crucial to preventing disease transmission, with health workers playing a key role in compliance. This study analyzes factors influencing non-compliance by health workers at Bhayangkara TK II Medan Hospital with Minister of Health Regulation Number 18 of 2020. Using a mixed-method approach with 200 participants, data was analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS). Results indicate monitoring, information, behavior, and values significantly influence compliance, while incentives, autonomy, and resources do not. tatistical tests showed resources (p-value = 0.915), incentives and sanctions (p-value = 0.855), behavior and values (p-value 0.024), autonomy (p-value = 0.341), monitoring (p-value 0.000), information (p-value 0.000). Effective monitoring and accurate information significantly impact health workers’ compliance with medical waste management practices.
