Pada dasarnya komunikasi risiko adalah segala bentuk pertukaran informasi tentang risiko antara seluruh pihak yang berkepentingan, mencangkup precaution advocacy, outrage management dan crisis communication. Komunikasi risiko dilakukan sebelum, saat, dan sesudah krisis terjadi, bertujuan mencegah perilaku masyarakat yang menghambat penanggulangan atau bahkan merusak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesiapan RSPAD Gatot Soebroto dalam melakukan komunikasi risiko dalam menghadapi pandemic influenza. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap komponen dukungan pimpinan rumah sakit dan komponen-komponen kesiapan lainnya antara lain SDM, Dana, Metode, Alat dan Mesin yang telah dimiliki oleh RSPAD Gatot Soebroto. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kualtatif yang bersifat deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa RSPAD Gatot Soebroto secara umum sudah dan dapat melakukan komunikasi risiko baik kepada pihak internal rumah sakit maupun kepada pihak eksternal rumah sakit. Pimpinan RSPAD Gatot Soebroto pun sudah memberikan dukungan terhadap pelaksanaan komunikasi risiko ini. Seluruh petugas di RSPAD Gatot Soebroto sudah diberikan sosialisasi juga diberikan pelatihan guna meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemampuan petugas dalam menghadapi pandemic influenza. Namun dalam melakukan komunikasi risiko masih belum maksimal. Metode pengkomunikasian dan alat komunikasi yang dimiliki oleh RSPAD Gatot Soebroto sudah cukup baik, namun pihak manajemen rumah sakit belum bias mengalokasikan dana yang khusus untuk mendukung kelancaran komunikasi dalam menghadapi pandemic influenza. Saran yang diajukan adalah memberikann pelatihan khusus mengenai komunikasi risiko dalam menghadapi pandemic influenza setidaknya kepada petugas yang tergabung dalam Tim Flu Burung yang telah dibentuk oleh rumah sakit. Penambahan alat komunikasi juga diperlukan dalam menjamin kelancaran proses komunikasi risiko, lebih lanjut disarankan kepada pihak manajemen rumah sakit untuk dapat mengalokasikan dana taktis untuk mendukung proses komunikasi risiko pada saat terjadinya pandemic influenza nantinya.

Some suggestions to increase the risk communication implementation are to conduct special training at least for the hospital officer merged to the Avian Influenza Team which was formed by the hospital management in dealing with pandemic influenza. Additional communication tools are needed to ensure the continuity of the risk communication process. Furthermore, it?s suggested for the hospital management to allocate special budget to support the risk communication process at the time of the pandemic influenza occurrence. |
