“…30 A highly dense population in one room, sleeping arrangements, bed hygiene, and the placement of personal belongings are some of the most prominent factors for infectious disease transmission, especially skin diseases like scabies. 31 Outbreaks of infectious diseases in particular settings, such as Islamic Boarding Schools, could seriously interfere with children's education and cause a delay in school activities. 20 It is essential for the staff and students living in Islamic Boarding Schools to understand the steps to prevent the incidence of infectious diseases, including maintaining clean and healthy living behavior practices and promoting immunization for vaccinepreventable diseases.…”

Pondok Pesantren, as one of the major boarding-based education systems in Indonesia, faces significant challenges in preventing and controlling infectious disease transmission. Huge number of students (santri), crowded dormitories, shared lavatories, limited healthcare facilities, and intense social interactions increase the risk of transmitting infectious diseases within the facilities. This study aims to provide initial assessment of the history of infectious diseases and the spread of infectious diseases among santri living in Pondok Pesantren before conducting training and intervention related to infectious diseases prevention and control programs. It is a quantitative study using a descriptive analysis approach conducted in July-September 2022 at Pondok Pesantren Assalafiyah 2 Mlangi. A non-probability sampling with total sampling of 848 santri was used. The data were collected using self-administered questionnaires developed on Google Form and imported to Microsoft Excel for further data analysis. The results indicate that the majority of the santri have a history of infectious diseases (90.7%) during their time living in Pondok Pesantren. The most common infectious diseases found were influenza (55.40%), scabies (20.94%), conjunctivitis (6.50%), varicella (6.11%), herpes simplex (2.21%), tuberculosis (1.39%), and measles (1.13%). During the COVID-19 pandemic, a total of 21.11% of the students had been exposed to COVID-19 and 98.47% of the students had received vaccinations. Considering these findings, it is essential for the staff and students living in Pondok Pesantren to understand the steps to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases and be able to identify and provide initial treatment to stop the transmission of the disease. The development of digital health intervention using a website or application will be implemented to help the students report and consult case findings to medical experts.

“…Hal ini terkait dengan penggunaan alat-alat pribadi bersama-sama atau kontak langsung dengan warga binaan yang terinfeksi skabies sulit dihindari akibat kepadatan hunian. 9,10 Pada penelitian ini, didapatkan bahwa lokasi lesi tersering ialah di sela jari tangan (30,7%). Hal ini selaras dengan daerah predileksi skabies yang bermanifestasi di bagian tubuh dengan stratum korneum tipis dan sering terjadinya kontak dengan tungau skabies baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung.…”

Scabies is one of the neglected tropical diseases caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Students is one of the populations at risk of getting scabies because transmission of scabies easily occurs in crowded conditions, such as in islamic boarding school. Kalibeber Urban Village has the largest population of students at islamic boarding schools (48.7%) in Mojotengah Sub-District. The incidence of scabies increased by 1,041,5% in 2021 and was included in the top five diseases at the Puskesmas Mojotengah in 2021. Students do not feel threatened by scabies. According to SMD results, they still underestimate personal hygiene. This study used observational analytic methods using case-control design among students in islamic boarding schools. A total of 69 case samples and 69 control samples were taken through a simple random sampling technique followed by proportional random sampling. Data were analyzed using Chi square, Fisher, and logistic regression. The result of this study showed that when the confounding is controlled by logistic regression, bed sharing (p=0.018; AOR=4,65) related with the incidence of scabies. For the rest, there is no significant relationship between sharing clothes, bathing habit, and hand hygiene habit with the incidence of scabies. Increasing the awareness of students to implement personal hygiene and establishing rules regarding the application of personal hygiene in order to break the chain of transmission of scabies, are recommended.
