Designing an Application for Track the Disease Transmission on Hospital Workers by Safety Climate Approach

Disease transmission in a hospital has become a crucial problem nowadays. Especially when the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) happened, many hospital workers were infected by this virus. The disease can be transmitted through hospital workers, patients, and other health care facilities. However, hospital workers have the most impact on disease transmission because they have direct contact with patients or move from one room to another room frequently. Based on the interview that was done by the author to one of the hospitals in Bandung, Indonesia showed that there was an increase in coronavirus cases from 2020 to 2021 caused by non-compliance of hospital workers in implementing the standard precautions. The awareness of hospital workers to the standard precautions is needed to decrease the disease transmission cases in hospitals. Therefore, this research will design an application that can track hospital workers' safety with a safety climate approach to ensure that every hospital worker is in safe and healthy condition while working. The outcome of the design thinking methodology is 11 need statements, which are used as a guide for designing application interfaces. Conversely, the application's questionnaire function will be employed using the safety climate strategy. Three hypotheses are approved and two are discarded as a result of hypothesis testing. using 26 indicators in all. Later on, the application's questionnaire questions will incorporate these 26 indications.
