Abstrak: Skabies adalah penyakit kulit yang disebabkan oleh Sarcoptes scabiei. Skabies diperkirakan menginfeksi lebih dari 200 juta orang setiap waktu. WHO telah menyatakan bahwa penyakit skabies merupakan salah satu bagian dari penyakit tropis yang terabaikan dan harus segera ditangani demi mencapai tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Kesadaran masyarakat untuk hidup bersih cenderung meningkat di masa pandemi covid-19. Meski demikian, penyebaran kasus skabies selama masa pandemi masih cukup tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui faktor risiko yang berhubungan dengan kejadian skabies pada masa pandemi di Pondok Pesantren X Kecamatan Panei, Kabupaten Simalungun tahun 2023. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan total sampel sebanyak 298 santri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 39,9% responden mengalami skabies dan sanitasi dasar pesantren tidak memenuhi syarat. Variabel yang berhubungan dengan kejadian skabies adalah usia (OR=7,922), jenis kelamin (OR=2,533), tingkat pendidikan (OR=5,821), personal higiene kulit (OR=1,889 pada kategori sedang, OR=2,519 pada kategori buruk), personal higiene tangan, kaki dan kuku (OR=1,718 pada kategori sedang, OR=2,068 pada kategori buruk), personal higiene rambut (OR=1,799 pada kategori sedang, OR=2,727 pada kategori buruk), kepadatan hunian (OR=3,054), suhu (OR=1,787), kelembaban (OR=1,803), dan protokol kesehatan (OR=2,395 pada kategori sedang, OR=3,295 pada kategori buruk). Selain itu dapat diketahui bahwa jenis kelamin merupakan faktor dominan dalam penelitian ini.

Scabies is a skin disease that is caused by Sarcoptes scabiei. Skabies is estimated to affect more than 200 million people at any time. The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated scabies as a neglected tropical disease and must be treated immediately to attain the Sustainable Development Goals. Public awareness to live clean tends to increase during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the spread of scabies cases during the pandemic was still high. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors related with the incidence of scabies during a pandemic in X Boarding School, Panei District, Simalungun Regency in 2023. This study used a cross-sectional design with a total sample of 298 students. The study results showed 39,9% respondents experienced scabies and basic sanitation not eligible. The variable related to the incidence of scabies is age (OR=7,922), gender (OR=2,533), education level (OR=5,821), hygiene of skin (OR=1,889 medium category, OR=2,519 bad category), hygiene of hand, feet and nail (OR=1,718 medium category, OR=2,068 bad category), hygiene of hair (OR=1,799 medium category, OR=2,727 bad category), occupancy density (OR=3,054), temperature (OR=1,787), humidity (OR=1,803), and health protocol (OR=2,395 medium category, OR=3,295 bad category). In addition, it can be seen the gender is the dominant factor in this study.

Abstrak: Scabies is a contagious skin disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei infestation, commonly found in densely populated environments with poor sanitation, including closed institutions such as correctional facilities for juveniles. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between personal hygiene and environmental health factors with the incidence of scabies among inmates at the Special Child Development Institution (LPKA) Class II Jakarta. A cross-sectional analytic observational design was used with a quantitative approach. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, direct observation, and medical examinations. The study involved 31 respondents selected through total sampling from the inmate population. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate using chi-square analyses. Results showed that 61.3% of respondents experienced scabies in the past six months. Although most respondents exhibited poor personal hygiene and lived in rooms with suboptimal temperature and humidity, no statistically significant relationship was found between any personal hygiene or environmental variables and scabies incidence (p > 0.05). The study concludes that there is no significant association between personal hygiene or environmental factors and scabies occurrence. This may be attributed to sample homogeneity, limited sample size, and unmeasured external factors. Further research is recommended to include broader environmental variables and larger sample sizes to explore this relationship more comprehensively.
