1.INTRODUCTION

According to the Republic of Indonesia Minister of Health Regulation (PERMENKES) No. 340 / MENKES/ PER / 111/2010 concerning the definition of hospitals related to, hospitals are health service organizations that provide individual health services, plenary which provides inpatient, outpatient, and emergency services (Pinem et al.: 2015, pp. 807-817). Paying attention to patient safety is a crucial aspect of healthcare provision delivery. Nowadays, in advanced countries, measuring this indicator is of high interest for healthcare providers to make evidence-based decisions and implement adequate plans and programs (Behzadifar et al.: 2019). Patient safety is an essential component of health care quality. Properly integrating and coordinating thedifferent parts of the health system can ensure a safe, efficient, and high-quality healthcare. Patient safety isan important component of health care quality. Patient safety, including the measurement of patient safetyculture, is a top priority in developed countries today (Erickson et al.: 2019). Patient safety is one of the essential tenets of patient care (Chakravarty et al.: 2015, pp.152-157) and is considered a critical component of healthcare quality (Nicolaides & Dimova: 2016, pp.21-27).

These occupational safety and health efforts must be saved to realize optimal work productivity in allworkplaces, especially places that have health hazards and are prone to contracting diseases. Therefore, hospitals are included in the criteria for workplaces with various potential hazards that can cause health problems such as potential radiation hazards (Republic of Indonesia Ministry of Health: 2010). The patient's implications for poor health in health problems from public health puzzles indicate the need to develop errors and improvements related to patient safety (Dias et al.: 2012, pp.719-729), This cultural safety organization is a product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies, and behavioral alternatives in terms of commitment, and the style and skills of organizational health and safety management. There is increasing interest in studying the patient safety culture in health and research organizations (Australian/New Zeland Standard: 2004).

Patient safety culture is a crucial aspect and a crucial issue in health service management (Ebrahimzadeh et al.: 2017, pp.1765-1767). Moreover, this concept is imperative for every organization aiming to realign the objectives of health professionals toward patient welfare and quality outcomes. Indeed, healthcare organizations must prioritize patient safety culture and make decisive changes resulting from their assessments (El-Jardali et al.: 2014, p.122). Furthermore, advancements in patient safety require the development of a patient safety culture that would support healthcare institutions (Stavrianopoulos: 2012, p.201).

iology. The use of this X-ray is used for radiological purposes, which are also used interventional radiology (Nuclear Power Supervisory Agency, Head of BAPETEN Regulation: 2011). Occupational Health and Safety Efforts must be held to realize optimal work productivity in all places work, especially places that have risks health hazards easily contracted diseases. In line with that, the hospital is included in the criteria of the workplace with various potential hazards that can have impact health, such as potential radiation hazards (Alahmadi: 2010, pp.e17-e17). Consequences of decline in patient safety events means increase in AEs which include patient losses (disabilities and physical and psychological traumas, increase in length of hospitalization, and social withdrawal), ethical and moral losses for healthcare professionals (Classen et al.: 2011, pp.581-589) and hospital losses (increase in costs, loss of trust (The National Safety Council (NSC): 2015)

The 2015 National Safety Council (NSC) report notes that the health service sector has a higher risk ofwork accidents than other sectors. In 2013 alone, there were 666,300 cases of Occupational Accidents and Occupational Diseases in health care workers, with a ratio of 4.4 cases per 100 health workers, which caused the loss of workdays, work shifts, or work restrictions (The Republic of Indonesia: 2009). Therefore efforts must be made to prevent potential hazards that can cause occupational diseases to the environment in the hospital.Knowledge about K3 must be implanted and owned by everyone who is in the vicinity of the hospital,especially officers/workers who have the task of providing services to patients and visitors by providing a sense of security and comfort while in the hospital. The potential dangers of officers/hospital workers are more at risk when compared to workers in general. This is supported by the Israeli state report that the highest prevalence of back injury is nurses with a percentage of 16.8% compared to other industrial sector workers. Besides Israel, in Australia, among 813 nurses, 87% had low back pain (RI: 2007).

Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 10 of 1997 concerning nuclear power, the use of nuclear power must be carefully supervised always to follow all provisions in the field of nuclear power safety, which does not pose a radiation hazard to radiation workers, society, and the environment. Republic of Indonesia Government Regulation Number 33 of 2007 concerning the safety of ionizing radiation and the security of radioactive sources, which aim to ensure the safety of workers and community members, protection of the environment, and Security of Radioactive Sources (BAPETEN: 2011). Regulation of the Head of the Nuclear Energy Supervisory Agency Number 8 of 2011 concerning radiation safety in the use of diagnostic and interventional radiology X-ray aircraft, that the safety of ionizing radiation in the medical field is an action taken to protect patients, workers, community members, and the environment from the danger of Radiation (Sexton et al.: 2006, p.44). These provisions do not require curative or corrective nature of workplace accidents, but workplace accidents must be prevented from occurring, and the work environment must meet health requirements clearly protecting radiation workers.

UNISMA Hospital RSI, which has a National-level Radiology Unit, is classified into a newly establishedHospital, makes the Safety Management System plays an important role in preventing and minimizing radiation hazards. A radiation safety management system for radiation workers is needed, because radiation does not smell, does not appear but it is harmful to the safety and health of workers, if continuous radiat ion on workers can cause illness to death in radiation workers. Patient safety culture (PSC) is a broad, complex, and multi-dimensional conceptual framework (Ronald: 2005, pp.7-8) which enables to assess the behavior of individuals and organizations based on shared beliefs and values. The ultimate goal of PSC is to reduce injuries and increase patient safety (Thamhain: 2014, pp.3-12). This is evidenced by the results of preliminary observations that some radiology workers who did not use radiation protection equipment when entering the examination room, in addition to the newly established UNISMA RSI, had never been conducted research to analyze the implementation of safety in the radiology.

UNISMA RSI Malang Because radiation workers represent one group that also has a risk of the dangers of exposure, radiation, and occupational safety-related to chronic diseases to death.

2.METHODS

The type of research used in this study is a descriptive-quantitative method sampling uses total sampling. Total sampling is a sampling technique where the number of samples is the same as the population (Sholihah: 2013).

Information in this study was obtained from 3 electro-medical staff, one doctor specialist, 1 K3 officer, sixradiographer officers. Data collection research was conducted by observation and interview. The data obtained is then compared with the provisions contained in PP No. 29 of 2009 concerning Licensing for the Use of Ionizing and Material Radiation Sources Nuclear, PP No. 33 of 2007 Safety Ionizing Radiation and Radioactive Source Security, and Perka Bapeten Number 8 of 2011 Radiation Safety in the Use of X-Ray Plane Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology. This research was conducted in the year 2019.

3.RESULTS

The results are explained about data analysis and discussion of research conducted to solve problems in order to provide a proposed improvement based on the results of calculations and analysis of the data produced. The factors that influence the occurrence of risk are in RSI UNISMA

Risk Management:


Risk management, according to the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, is clinical and administrative activities carried out by the Hospital to identify, evaluate and reduce the risk of injury or loss in patients, visitors, and hospital institutions.



After determining the likelihood and consequences values of each hazard source, then the next is multiplying the likelihood and severity values so that the risk level will be obtained on the risk matrix which will be used to rank the source of the hazard that will be used as a reference for making recommendations for improvement. what is good in accordance with existing problems



After getting the value of each hazard of each job that has been identified, then the danger is grouped according to the rating from the highest risk to the lowest risk. Figure 2 is a hazard rating classification on the working part of the plate. Based on the results of data processing, ten potential hazards and risks have been obtained from the UNISMA Hospital.

RCA (Root Cause Analysis):

According to James J. Rooney and Lee N Vanden Heuvel (2004), RCA is a process designed to investigate and categorize the root causes of an event that has an impact on safety, health, environment, quality, reliability, and production. According to Anthony (2004), the implementation of RCA will improve and reduce the root causes that minimize the recurrence of failure.


Steps to minimize risk

Management Requirements

The description of the application of management requirements in the radiology installation of the UNISMA RSI Malang is: based on observations, interviews conducted by researchers at the radiology installation at UNISMA RSI Malang were obtained by management, namely the Head of Hospital as the head of the Radiology Installation Room. According to Permana, ten people responsible for radiation safety are permit holders and parties related to the implementation of a nuclear use, namely Radiation Protection Officers (PPR), and radiation workers. Permit holders must provide personnel as stated in BAPETEN Regulation No.8 Year 2011 Article 11b, following the type of X-ray aircraft used and the intended use. The permit holder in radiation safety at UNISMA RSI Malang is the UNISMA RSI itself with the Head of the Hospital as the person in charge, and the personnel who are directly involved in the implementation of the radiology are the Head of the Room / PPR. Observations were made on members, radiation protection training, radiation detection doses, and recordings available.

The results of the assessment of human resources at the UNISMA Malang Hospital have one radiology specialist according to the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1014 / MENKES / SK / XI / 2008 regarding radiological diagnostic administration standards for medical safety radiology installations at UNISMA Malang Hospital. UNISMA Malang Hospital has six people based on the decision of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1014 / MENKES / SK / XI / 2008 for radiology installations that must have two radiogenic. Observation Results Regarding radiation doses for radiation workers use Termo Luminescence Dosimeter (TLD), the results of observations about recordings/documents but for reports of accidental actions and actions taken for handling accidents have not been carried out and there are no records

Personel

Researchers analyzed radiology installations where there was 1 radiology specialist who worked in the radiology work unit of 1 person, the radiologist who served to operate the X-ray fluoroscopy aircraft, set diagnostic procedures and provide criteria for examining pregnant women, children, adults, and examinations health of patients using doses/drugs against radiation exposure. Based on the results of in-depth interviews with personnel, namely radiology specialists. The researcher analyzed that in the radiology installation, the main task of the function of the radiology specialist was to carry out contrast and fluoroscopy examinations together with the radiographer. Special examinations that require intravenous injection are carried out by a radiology specialist or another doctor/health worker who is delegated. However, there is no explanation/statement that the radiology specialist guarantees the implementation of all aspects of radiation protection to patients. Evaluating radiation accidents from a clinical point of view and this has not been in accordance with the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1014 / MENKES / SK / XI / 2008 Diagnostics in Health Service Facilities regarding the main tasks of the radiology specialist's function.

RSI UNISMA Malang has a number of radiology specialists. This is in accordance with the decision of the Minister of Republic of Indonesia Number 1014 / MENKES / SK / XI / 2008 concerning diagnostic radiology service standards in which the minimum health services of hospitals have at least 1 specialist BAPETEN (Nuclear Energy Supervisory Agency) No. 8 of 2011 which requires having specialist doctors who have competence in the field of radiology.

4.CONCLUSION

  1. 1. A risk assessment carried out with UNISMA RSI workers produced 3 rating categories, namely low, moderate, and high. It is known that 20% of hazards are in a low category; 30 % of hazards are in the moderate category, 50% are in the high category.
  2. 2. Increasing the role of the hospital and management, Increasing the role of RSI UNISMA staff so that theyare directly or indirectly, and Every staff must realize that they are part of a team that works in one system.
  3. 3. Personnel in the work unit of UNISMA Hospital RSI have 1 (doctor) Radiology Specialist, three electro- medical staff, 1 K3 officer, six radiographers at RSI UNISMA. Radiology in UNISMA Hospital must look at factors and complement such personnel, Examination, and Monitoring of Facilities, Radiation Protection Training, Radiation protection equipment, and Monitoring of Radiation Doses
