Abstract

Scabies is an infectious disease that occurs throughout the world, not only in developing countries but can occur in developed countries. Globally, an estimated 66 million scabies occurred in 2013. The majority of scabies occur in institutional communities such as nursing homes, prisons, hospitals and boarding schools. The purpose of this study was to detect the morphology of the mite Sarcoptes scabiei and analyze environmental factors that influence the incidence of scabies. This research is quantitative with a cross sectional research design. The sample population is students who live in Pondok Pesantren X Indralaya District. The sample is 97 respondents. Bivariate data analysis used Chi Square test. Multivariate analysis used logistic regression. The results: the room temperature of the respondent's room 25 (25.8%) did not meet the requirements, 72 (74.2%) met the requirements. The respondents' room lighting did not meet the requirements 58 (59.8%), 39 (40.2%) met the requirements Requirements. Respondents' room humidity did not meet the requirements 44 (45.4%), 53 (54.6%) met the requirements, 60 (61.9%) ventilation did not meet the requirements, 37 (38.1%) met the requirements. The results of the bivariate analysis obtained that the respondent's room temperature influence no significant effect on the incidence of scabies (Pvalue: 0.08), while lighting (p-value: 0.000), humidity (p-value: 0.006), ventilation of the respondent's room (p-value: 0.004) influence a significant effect. with scabies. The dominant factor influencing the incidence of scabies is the ventilation of the respondent's room.
