Keywords:
policy, management, indoor air quality, hospitalAbstract
Indoor air quality that meets standards is free from pollutants. Activities carried out in hospitals can be a source of pollution that can affect indoor air quality, thereby impacting the health of workers, patients, and visitors. This study was conducted to formulate a sustainable indoor air quality management policy at Hospital X in Pekanbaru City. This activity was carried out from January to May 2025 using a qualitative approach. Data collection involved observation, interviews, document or report review, and documentation. The data sources in this study were primary and secondary data. Data analysis used the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT) matrix to determine policy strategies for indoor air quality management in hospitals. The results of the study indicate that hospitals have four strategies for indoor air quality management policies. The first is SO (Strengths-Opportunities), which involves implementing policies in line with the hospital management's commitment to indoor air quality management and collaborating with relevant stakeholders. The second is WO (Weaknesses-Opportunities), which involves improving governance regarding indoor air quality in hospitals. The third is ST (Strengths-Threats) by conducting monitoring and improving cleaning activities related to indoor air quality management in hospitals, and fourth, WT (Weakness-Threats) by establishing indoor air quality standards and conducting regular indoor air quality measurements in hospitals. Thus, the results of this study can be applied and contribute to and be generalized to hospitals in Pekanbaru City for the sustainable improvement of indoor air quality management in hospitals.
