Menurut WHO (World Health Organization), kejadian scabies menyatakan hampir 300 juta penderita di dunia setiap tahun. Scabies termasuk penyakit kulit yang endemik di daerah tropis dan daerah beriklim subtropis. Penularan scabies umumnya terjadi secara kontak langsung dan tidak langsung, dimana terjadi karena faktor lingkungan dan kebersihan perorangan yang buruk. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan personal hygiene dan sanitasi lingkungan terhadap kejadian scabies pada masyarakat di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Pariaman Kecamatan Pariaman Tengah. Jenis penelitian epidemiologi analitik dengan pendekatan case control, sampel pada penelitian ini sebanyak 72 responden (kelompok kasus 24 dan kelompok kontrol 48), perbandingan (1:2) dengan pendekatan retrospective. Teknik pengambilan random sampling dan analisa data menggunakan chi square dengan tingkat kepercayaan p = 0.05 (95%). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat ada hubungan antara personal hygiene dengan kejadian scabies (p=0.000 < 0.05) OR (95% CI) = 10.000 (3.20331.225), dan kelembaban dengan kejadian scabies (p= 0.002 < 0.05) OR (95% CI) = 16.429 (2.047131.861). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara kepadatan hunian dengan kejadian scabies (p=0.105 > 0.05), luas ventilasi dengan kejadian scabies (p=0.393 > 0.05), dan pencahayaan dengan kejadian scabies (p=1.000 > 0.05). Responden kasus sebanyak 24 (33.3%) dan responden kontrol 48 (66.7%). Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan antara personal hygiene dan kelembaban dengan kejadian scabies dan disarankan kepada pihak petugas kesehatan khususnya pada kasus scabies dapat melakukan penyuluhan tentang kebersihan diri dan sanitasi lingkungan kepada masyarakat.

As per the World Health Organization (WHO), scabies affects nearly 300 million individuals worldwide each year. This skin ailment is prevalent in tropical and subtropical climates, primarily spreading through direct and indirect contact, often exacerbated by environmental factors and inadequate personal hygiene. This study aims to establish a connection between personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, and the incidence of scabies within the community of Pariaman Community Health Center's working area in Central Pariaman District. Employing an analytic epidemiological approach with a case-control methodology, the sample encompassed 72 respondents (24 in the case group and 48 in the control group), with a comparative ratio of 1:2, utilizing a retrospective design. A random sampling technique was employed, and data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test with a confidence level of p = 0.05 (95%). The study findings unveil a significant correlation between personal hygiene and scabies incidence (p = 0.000, OR 95% CI = 10.000, 3.203 31.225), as well as humidity and scabies incidence (p = 0.002, OR 95% CI = 16.429, 2.047 131.861). However, no substantial relationships were observed between occupancy density and scabies incidence (p = 0.105 > 0.05), ventilation area and scabies incidence (p = 0.393 > 0.05), and lighting and scabies incidence (p = 1.000 > 0.05). The case group consisted of 24 respondents (33.3%), while the control group included 48 respondents (66.7%). In conclusion, this study establishes associations between personal hygiene, humidity, and scabies incidence. It is recommended that healthcare professionals, particularly in cases of scabies, engage in community counseling sessions regarding personal hygiene and environmental sanitation.
