摘要

医疗废物(HCW)由可能具有放射性、毒性或传染性的危险物质组成。HCW的不当处理和处置可能会将病原体和有毒污染物释放到环境中,从而间接对人类健康构成风险。HCW管理中最大的问题是它的处理,这会引起人们对垃圾分类和分类的焦虑。因此,目前的研究通过管理发展中国家的传染性HCW来确定和应对可持续环境发展的挑战。本研究采用模糊德尔菲方法,仔细考察了文献和专家意见中的障碍。研究中考虑的障碍数量为30个,然后将其分为四大类,即社会、环境、技术和经济障碍。此外,本文还开发了一种基于模糊决策试验和评估实验室的混合策略,以检验所识别障碍的重要性和相互关系。研究结果是基于障碍的相对重要性的层次和分类模型。这项研究的结果表明:“缺乏隔离”、“废物收集不一致”、“处置场不受监管”和“培训和意识计划不足”需要迅速采取行动。通过研究得出的结论将有助于医疗管理局和污染控制委员会编制检查表,记录HCW管理程序。了解优先原因群体障碍将改善医院环境的长期保护,防止HCW引起的感染传播。

Management of healthcare waste collection and segregation for developing countries.

Healthcare waste (HCW) consists of hazardous material that may be radioactive, toxic or infectious. Inappropriate treatment and disposal of HCW may pose health risks to humans indirectly through the release of pathogens and toxic pollutants into the environment. The biggest problem in HCW management is its handling, which causes anxiety over sorting and categorizing the waste. Hence, the current study identifies and addresses the challenges towards sustainable environmental development by managing infectious HCW in developing countries. Fuzzy Delphi method is used in the present study to carefully examine the barrier drawn from the literature and experts' opinions. The number of barriers taken into consideration for study are 30, which are then grouped into four main categories, that is, social, environmental, technological and economic barriers. Additionally, a hybrid strategy based on the fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory is developed in this work to examine the significance and interrelationships of the identified barrier. The research outcome is a hierarchy and classification model based on the relative importance of the barriers. The results of this study indicate that: 'Lack of segregation', 'Inconsistency in waste collection', 'Unregulated disposal site' and 'Inadequate programme for training and awareness' require quick action. The conclusions obtained through the study would facilitate the preparation of check sheets for documenting HCW management procedures by the healthcare administration and Pollution Control Boards. Understanding the priority cause-group barrier would improve the long-term protection of the hospital environment from the spread of infection caused by the HCW.
