Description
Summary:Hospital has a high risk of disease transmission because they are a gathering place for healthy and sick people. Indoor air quality in hospitals is different from other work environments because it has its complexities, so it must be considered because it impacts workers, patients, and visitors. The surgery room is a very high-risk category, especially in Health Care-Associated Infections (HAIs) transmission. The surgery room must have ideal environmental conditions such as healthy, safe, and comfortable. This research aims to measure the indoor air quality of surgery rooms in hospital X, Bogor, West Java. This research was conducted using quantitative methods with a cross-sectional approach. The research data were obtained by making field measurements and observations. The results show that the indoor air quality in the surgery room below standards for airborne bacteria, temperature, and humidity, while the lighting still fulfills the standards. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct routine sterilization and disinfection evaluations by the hospital.
