THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIX SIGMA–BASED ULCUS DECUBITUS PREVENTION MODEL TO RESPOND TO ADVERSE EVENTS
ABSTRACT: Based on the number
of incidences of Ulcus Decubitus in 2015 which was 2.4 ‰ and 1.59 ‰ in 2016,
the incidences of Ulcus Decubitus is an indicator of patient safety. In one of
the public hospitals in Surabaya, it showed that the achievement of a Ulcus
Decubitus indicator had not been reached yet (the standard is 1.5 ‰ per year).
One of the efforts that can be done to prevent the occurrence of ulcus decubitus
is by way of Six Sigma-based ulcus decubitus prevention. Methods: The design of
this research was an explanatory research study using a cross-sectional
approach. The research respondents were nurses at Inpatient Wards (4 Rooms); 57
nurses via the Purposive Sampling technique. The research data was analysed
with Partial Least Square (PLS) Results: Individual factors (Path Coefficient
0,200 t: 6,580), organisational factors (Path Coefficient 0,373 t: 9,278) and
management factors (Path Coefficient 0.099 t: 2.184) are all significantly
correlated with the Six Sigma-based Ulcus decubitus prevention. Conclusions:
Individual, Organisational and Management factors are important factors in the
Six Sigma-based Ulcus Decubitus prevention model. It needs advanced research to
find out how much the influence of Six Sigma-based Ulcus Decubitus prevention
implementation will decrease the incidences of Ulcus Decubitus.
