| dc.description.abstract | Background. Scabies, also known as "kudis," is caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei
var. Hominis mite, leading to intense itching of the skin. Despite the World Health
Organization (WHO) recognizing scabies as a global health issue, particularly in
developing countries, swift intervention is needed to prevent outbreaks and adverse
health impacts. The global prevalence reaches 200 million people, with high
vulnerability among children and the elderly in resource-limited areas. Spread
factors involve close contact, socio-economic conditions, personal hygiene, and
environmental sanitation. The study at Pesantren Darularafah Raya aims to
examine the relationship between scabies, personal hygiene, sanitation, and
knowledge, providing guidance for understanding, prevention, and management in
this crowded environment. Objective. To analyze the relationship between personal
hygiene, environmental sanitation, and knowledge with the occurrence of scabies
at Pesantren Darularafah Raya. Methods. This research is an analytical
observational study with a cross-sectional approach. The population includes male
students at Pesantren Darularafah Raya, with a sample of 126 respondents. Total
sampling is employed as the sampling technique. The assessment of personal
hygiene, environmental sanitation, and scabies incidence is done through a
questionnaire. Univariate and bivariate analysis with chi-square is used for the
analysis. Results. The study involves 126 respondents, with 98 individuals affected
by scabies exhibiting predominantly poor personal hygiene, environmental
sanitation, and knowledge. The analysis results indicate no significant relationship
between personal hygiene and knowledge levels with scabies occurrence, but there
is a connection between environmental sanitation and scabies incidence.
Conclusion. There is a relationship between environmental sanitation and scabies
occurrence among male students at Pesantren Darularafah Raya (p<0,05). | en_US |
