Implementation of the Protocol for Recovering Bodies for Patients Indicated by Covid-19 at Bhakti Wira Tamtama Hospital Based on Legislation

Abstract

Abstract: The importance of the protocol for returning bodies to hospitals related to the Covid-19 pandemic requires that all hospitals in Indonesia implement standard operating procedures for returning bodies. One of the hospitals that implements this is the Bhakti Wira Tamtama Hospital. The problem that often occurs is that the family refuses to process the body according to the protocol for returning the bodies of Covid-19

The purpose of this study was to get an overview of the arrangements and implementation as well as the factors that influence the process of returning the bodies at the Bhakti Wira Tamtama Hospital in Semarang. The research method uses qualitative research. Primary data was taken from direct interviews with informants, namely the person in charge of the installation and the corpse handling officer.

The policy for returning the bodies of Covid-19 patients at Bhakti Wira Tamtama Hospital is carried out in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures (SPO), which consists of the preparation stage, the process of returning the bodies, to the handing over of the bodies. The juridical factor is that there are no specific regulations governing the disposal of bodies from probable, suspected or confirmed cases. Bhakti Wira Tamtama Semarang Hospital experienced difficulties in terms of providing education to the family. The sociological factor is that the family refuses if the body is recovered at the hospital. Barriers to technical factors at the Bhakti Wira Tamtama Hospital were the knowledge of the officers who were not optimal and the availability of inadequate infrastructure, as well as the limited PPE when the pandemic began to hit Indonesia.
