Dermatofitosis merupakan infeksi jamur superfisial pada kulit, rambut, dan kuku yang disebabkan oleh kelompok jamur dermatofita. Penyakit ini masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat, terutama di lingkungan dengan tingkat kebersihan yang rendah seperti Dayah. Faktor pengetahuan, sikap, dan kebersihan pribadi diduga berperan penting terhadap kejadian dermatofitosis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan kebersihan pribadi dengan kejadian dermatofitosis superfisial pada santri di Dayah Kecamatan Darussalam, Aceh Besar. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan desain cross sectional yang melibatkan 111 responden santri yang dipilih berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner mengenai tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik kebersihan pribadi. Analisis data menggunakan uji Chi-Square dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95% serta perhitungan Odds Ratio (OR) untuk menentukan kekuatan hubungan antarvariabel. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan (p = 0,023; OR = 2,424; 95% CI: 1,124–5,229), sikap (p = 0,007; OR = 5,453; 95% CI: 1,428–20,816), dan kebersihan pribadi (p < 0,001; OR = 40,000; 95% CI: 5,120–312,470) dengan kejadian dermatofitosis superfisial. Responden dengan kebersihan pribadi yang buruk memiliki risiko 40 kali lebih besar mengalami dermatofitosis dibandingkan dengan responden dengan kebersihan pribadi baik. Tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan kebersihan pribadi memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan kejadian dermatofitosis superfisial pada santri di Dayah Kecamatan Darussalam.

Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal infection of the skin, hair, and nails caused by dermatophyte fungi. This condition remains a public health problem, particularly in environments with poor hygiene such as Islamic boarding schools. Knowledge, attitude, and personal hygiene are suspected to be important factors influencing the occurrence of dermatophytosis. The objective of this study to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge, attitude, and personal hygiene and the incidence of superficial dermatophytosis among students in Islamic boarding schools in Darussalam District, Aceh Besar. This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design involving 111 respondents selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire assessing knowledge, attitude, and personal hygiene practices. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a 95% confidence level, and Odds Ratio (OR) was calculated to determine the strength of association between variables. There were significant relationships between knowledge (p = 0.023; OR = 2.424; 95% CI: 1.124–5.229), attitude (p = 0.007; OR = 5.453; 95% CI: 1.428–20.816), and personal hygiene (p < 0.001; OR = 40.000; 95% CI: 5.120–312.470) with the incidence of superficial dermatophytosis. Respondents with poor personal hygiene had a 40-fold higher risk of developing dermatophytosis compared to those with good hygiene. Knowledge, attitude, and personal hygiene were significantly associated with the incidence of superficial dermatophytosis among Islamic boarding school students in Darussalam District.
