Abstrak

Pengelolaan limbah medis merupakan tantangan utama dalam sistem kesehatan, terutama dalam memastikan efisiensi biaya sekaligus meminimalkan dampak lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara penerapan reverse logistics dan efisiensi biaya pengelolaan limbah medis di klinik kesehatan. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan sampel sebanyak 36 responden yang terlibat dalam pengelolaan limbah medis. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner, dan dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi-Square untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antar variabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara penerapan reverse logistics dengan efisiensi biaya, di mana implementasi yang lebih baik dari reverse logistics mampu mengurangi pengeluaran operasional secara substansial. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini mengindikasikan bahwa pengelolaan limbah medis melalui reverse logistics tidak hanya efektif dalam meningkatkan efisiensi biaya, tetapi juga mendukung keberlanjutan lingkungan. Implikasi praktis dari temuan ini dapat menjadi acuan bagi pengelola klinik kesehatan dalam merancang strategi pengelolaan limbah yang lebih efisien.
