| Summary: | Desludging operators have important role in onsite sanitation to achieve safe sanitation. Desludging practice have to comply with the principles of safe sanitation and regulations to maintain the health and safety of the worker, the community, and the environment. However, the implementation of desludging sometimes does not comply with safe sanitation principle and regulation. This study aims to identify the compliance of faecal sludge desludging with regulation and safe sanitation principle. Furthermore, Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) is applied to explore psychosocial factors of the operators that affect desludging practice. Questionnaire assessing desludging practice and psychosocial factors based on TDF was given to 32 desludging operators that works in local government and private desludging services in Bekasi City. Semi-structured interviews with local government, desludging service owners, and desludging operators were conducted to gain deeper understanding of the motive of the practices and factors influencing them. Spearman’s Rank Correlation analysis was used to determine domains in TDF that significantly affecting desludging practice compliance. From the correlation analysis, Knowledge (? = 0,505; P =0,003), Beliefs about consequences (? =0,473; P = 0,006), and Environmental context and resources (? =0,389; P = 0,028) are statistically significant affecting desludging practice. In addition to quantitative data analysis, from qualitative data analysis, optimism, social influences and reinforcement domains were also found to be the determinants of desludging practice. Therefore, based on these factors, the suggested recommendations to improve desludging practice compliance are conducting training for desludging operators, developing SOP, monitoring desludging services, establishment of certification system for desludging operators, and incentivisation. |
