| description | Tesis ini merangkumi status perosak, pengurusan perosak lestari, dan pembangunan
sistem laporan maklumat atas talian untuk pusat kemudahan penjagaan kesihatan di
Singapura. Lebih daripada separuh (52.5%) jumlah responden (200 orang)
melaporkan bahawa semut adalah perosak yang paling kerap dijumpai di pusat
kemudahan penjagaan kesihatan. Hanya 10% responden berpendapat bahawa
penghapusan perosak tanpa menggunakan racun serangga adalah penting. Kurang
daripada separuh daripada jumlah responden memahami kepentingan kebersihan
dalam program pengurusan perosak. Sejumlah 87% responden mengetahui
Pengurusan Perosak Bersepadu (IPM). Data mengenai perosak yang dikumpulkan
antara tahun 2008 - 2010 menunjukkan bahawa semut, tikus, lalat, nyamuk dan lipas
adalah perosak-perosak yang paling biasa ditemui di pusat kemudahan penjagaan
kesihatan. Daripada lima perosak tersebut, semut merupakan perosak yang paling
banyak menerima permintaan perkhidmatan. Dengan pemeriksaan yang teliti,
penangkapan intensif, penutupan jurang dan pemantauan secara berterusan, tikus-tikus
rumah di dalam lima blok perubatan di Hospital Besar Singapura telah dihapuskan
dalam jangka 3 bulan. Sebahagian besar daripada tikus-tikus rumah ini ditangkap di
lokasi-lokasi yang ada makanan (78 tikus rumah) berbanding dengan lokasi-lokasi
tanpa makanan (14 tikus rumah) semasa tempoh penangkapan intensif.
In this thesis, the pest status in healthcare facilities (HFs) in Singapore, along with the
sustainable management for pest ants and rodents, were studied. Also, an online
reporting system (pest-online) was developed and tested as the reporting system for
HFs in Singapore. More than half (52.5%) of the 200 healthcare personnel reported
ants as the most common pest they encountered in the HFs. Only 10% of the
respondents felt that using non-chemical way to kill a pest is important. Less than half
of the healthcare personnel understand the importance of sanitation in a pest
management program.87% of the respondents had never heard of Integrated Pest
Management (IPM). Pest data collected between 2008 and 2010 showed that ants,
rodents, flies, mosquito and cockroach were the top five pests that commonly found in
the HFs. Of the five pests, ants received the most service requests. With thorough
inspection, intensive trapping, proofing and constant monitoring, the year-long roof
rat infestation at the five medical blocks at Singapore General Hospital was eliminated
in 3 months. Higher numbers of roof rats were caught at the food areas (78 roof rats)
as compared to non-food areas (14 roof rats) during the mass trapping.
