“…In particular, waste from health care activities requires special handling to mitigate potential negative impacts. Furthermore, activities in every health service facility, both government and private, medical waste management activities must start from every health service room in order to prevent disease transmission in health facilities (Nosocomial) (Afriyanto et al, 2020). Socialization is very important because it can strengthen the relationship between health workers, patients and society in general, can gain knowledge from a community, and can form a unique personality.…”

It is important to disseminate information about medical waste in health care facilities to provide knowledge and skills for paramedics, patients and the general public so that medical waste generated from each service facility can be managed properly and in accordance with applicable laws. When viewed from the amount of medical waste originating from health facilities, it is estimated that it will increase over time. The reason is that the number of hospitals, health centers, treatment centers, medical laboratories and health clinics is increasing. Thus, the purpose of writing this article is to determine the impact of socialization of medical waste on the handling of medical waste in health care facilities. The method used is Literature Review in a way that is used to collect data or sources related to a particular topic that can be obtained from various sources of English-language international journals sourced from the PubMeb database, Google Schola, Semantic Scholar, Emerald Insight. Search results with keywords Socialization, Medical Waste, Handling, Health Service Facilities found 50 journals that match these keywords. A total of 37 journals from journals found according to the search keywords were then screened, 10 journals were excluded because full text articles were not available. Journals that meet the inclusion range of 5 full text journals are reviewed. So the conclusion is that the dissemination of information in health care facilities is very important in providing knowledge and skills for medical professionals, patients and the general public in managing medical waste.

“…Previous research stated that health workers' knowledge of waste management is significantly related to infectious waste disposal practices (Pitaksanurat, Junggoth, & Setiyadi, 2020). Another study stated that knowledge did not have a significant relationship with waste management; only attitude and practice variables had a significant relationship (Merdeka, Tosepu, & Salma, 2021).…”

Medical waste management is essential to the hospital's operational activities. Health workers are needed to manage medical waste in hospitals because they are in direct contact with it. Therefore, the behaviour of health workers plays a vital role in medical waste management. This study determined the relation of knowledge, awareness, interest, and attitude of health workers on medical waste management practices at Sinar Kasih Purwokerto Hospital, Indonesia. In addition, this study also aims to determine the attitude of health workers in mediating the relation of knowledge, awareness, and interest in medical waste management practices at Sinar Kasih Purwokerto Hospital, Indonesia. The sampling method was cluster random sampling with 68 health workers: general practitioners, dentists, specialists, nurses, sanitisers, and public workers (PW). The data collection tool uses a questionnaire tested for reliability and validity to determine the level of knowledge, awareness, interest, attitude, and practice of medical waste management. Data analysis in this study used Partial Least Square (PLS) testing. This study showed that knowledge and interest had no significant positive effect on medical waste management practices. In contrast, awareness and attitude significantly positively impacted medical waste management practices. In addition, the attitude of health workers mediates the effect of knowledge and interest on medical waste management practices. However, attitude does not mediate the impact of awareness on medical waste management practices. The attitude of health workers is a mediator of knowledge and interest toward medical waste management practices.

Ensuring the sustainability of hospital waste management practices has become a burning issue. Due to the growing population coinciding with rapid urbanization and industrialization, practicing sustainable methods of medical waste management is an urgent requirement. Like other developing countries, Sri Lanka also faces various difficulties when dealing with high-risk hospital waste material, spreading diseases rapidly and making the environment unclean. Thus, moving towards sustainable hospital waste management has received urgent attention. The primary purpose of this study is to explore whether the existing hospital waste management practices are sustainable. Further, this study identifies weaknesses of the existing waste management practices and examines factors affecting Sustainable Hospital Waste Management (SHWM) in the Western province of Sri Lanka. Data were collected from 18 officers involved in waste management from 14 government hospitals in the western province. Both inductive and deductive thematic analyses were used to explore whether the hospital waste management practices are sustainable. The study revealed that most selected hospitals failed to achieve sustainability in waste management practices. Achieving sustainability of waste management practices has become a challenge to government hospitals due to financial constraints, limited facilities and infrastructure, lack of social support, and poor management and administration. Patient mindset and health capacity, positive attitudes, knowledge, awareness, and experience, training on hospital waste management, availability of basic infrastructure and resources, financial facilities for hospital waste management, availability of rules and regulations, and intra and inter-organizational supports significantly affect sustainable hospital waste management. Exploring the sustainability of waste management practices using empirical data related to Sri Lanka is an initial attempt in the sustainable hospital waste management literature. Finally, policy measures are suggested for sustainable hospital waste management in Sri Lanka.
