| dc.description.abstract | The Lactation Room is a special room for breastfeeding mothers, which will
store their milk for their sons and daughters at home. This room is intended for
working mothers who do not have time or are far from their children so that the
child can still receive exclusive breastfeeding from the mother. Mall delI Park To
support the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding, several malls have also provided
breastfeeding rooms or special rooms for breastfeeding, so that mothers can still
provide breast milk without hindering their hobby of going to the mall. This study
aims to identify and describe the Lactation Room Policy in the Koto Medan
shopping center.

researchers is by interview techniques, observation, and documentation as research
support. The data obtained were analyzed using the implementation theory put
forward by Van Meter and Van Horn, which includes standards and targets,
resources, characteristics of implementing agents, communication, implementor
dispositions, and the economic, social, and political environment.
The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the Lactation
Room Policy at Mall Deli Park Medan has not gone well. the resource indicator is
quite good, the funds that are owned also support the program because it is
privately owned, but the lactation room facilities still need improvement. On the
communication indicator from the Mall and the Medan City Health Office, good
communication had not been established and there was no coordination. In terms
of the characteristics of the implementing agent, it is quite good with the
commitment of the private sector in procuring lactation rooms at the Deli Park
Mall, Medan City. In the indicator of the disposition of the implementor, knowledge
and understanding of this policy is still lacking due to the absence of direct
cooperation between the private sector and the Medan Health Office, then in the
indicator of the condition of the socio-economic and political environment which is
very supportive in implementing this lactation room because it has a very positive
impact on the community | en_US |
