Lingkungan Fisik dan Angka Kuman Udara Ruangan di Rumah Sakit Umum Haji Makasar; Sulawesi Selatan (Physical Environment and Micorobe Rate of Indoor Air of Makasar Haji Public Hospital, South Sulawesi)

---

Air is an environmental medium where microbe such as bacteria, viruses,and fungi can live and may infect exposed people. As the microbes requireappropriate condition to live and grow, particular physical environment of airmay associate with microbial density rate. To determine this association, across-sectional study has been conducted in in-patient wards of MakassarPublic Hospital of Hajj. Quality of physical environment factors (lighting,temperature, relative humidity, and room density) and microbial density rateof indoor air in five in-patient wards (pavilion, class 1, class 2, class 3, andrecovery room) were measured three times (morning, afternoon, and beforesunset) at three different sampling sites of each room. The results show thatmore than 91% microbe rate and 71%-87% quality of physical environmentalfactors do not comply with the health requirements as regulated inthe Ministry of Health Decision of 1204/MENKES/ SK/X/2004. Of four physicalenvironmental factors quantified, only relative humidity is associated directlywith the microbe rate (p = 0,023), although its linear correlation is verylow (Pearson correlation 0,299). Correspondingly, contribution of all physicalenvironmental factors to the microbe rate is only 6% (R2 = 0,382).Adjusted to the population standard, this contribution is only 6%
