Luka bakar merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang masih sering terjadi
dan dapat menimbulkan dampak fisik, psikologis, serta sosial. Pencegahan luka
bakar menjadi strategi utama dalam menurunkan angka kejadian, khususnya di
lingkungan pendidikan berbasis asrama yang berisiko tinggi terhadap kebakaran.
Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan
perilaku siswa terhadap pencegahan luka bakar di Dayah Terpadu Babul
Maghfirah. Penelitian menggunakan desain deskriptif analitik dengan pendekatan
cross-sectional pada 133 siswa yang dipilih melalui total sampling. Data
dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur yang telah diuji validitas dan
reliabilitasnya, kemudian dianalisis secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji
korelasi Spearman Rank. Hasil menunjukkan sebagian besar siswa memiliki tingkat
pengetahuan baik (55,6%) dan perilaku pencegahan pada kategori cukup (51,9%).
Uji korelasi menghasilkan nilai rs = 0,082 dengan p = 0,350, yang menunjukkan
hubungan sangat lemah dan tidak signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan dan
perilaku siswa. Artinya, pengetahuan yang baik belum sepenuhnya diikuti oleh
perilaku pencegahan yang sesuai. Faktor lain seperti sikap, kebiasaan, dan pengaruh
lingkungan kemungkinan turut memengaruhi perilaku siswa. Disarankan agar
pihak sekolah melaksanakan edukasi kesehatan secara berkala serta praktik
langsung mengenai pertolongan pertama dan pencegahan luka bakar.
Kata Kunci: pengetahuan, perilaku, pencegahan, luka bakar

Burn injuries remain a significant public health issue that can cause physical, psychological, and social impacts. Prevention serves as the primary strategy to reduce incidence, particularly in boarding school environments where the risk of fire is high. This study aimed to determine the relationship between students’ level of knowledge and their behavior toward burn injury prevention at Dayah Terpadu Babul Maghfirah. A descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was employed, involving 133 students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, then analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results showed that most students had good knowledge (55.6%) and moderate preventive behavior (51.9%). The correlation test yielded an rs value of 0.082 with a p-value of 0.350, indicating a very weak and statistically insignificant relationship between knowledge and behavior. This suggests that good knowledge does not necessarily translate into proper preventive practices. Other factors such as attitudes, habits, and environmental influences likely affect students’ preventive behaviors. It is recommended that the school conduct regular health education programs and practical training on first aid and burn prevention. Keywords: knowledge, behavior, prevention, burn injury
