Abstract
Dermatitis remains a prevalent skin health issue in the community and can be influenced by various behavioral factors, including knowledge, attitudes, and personal hygiene. Cases of dermatitis are rising in Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, and they continue to be reported annually within the service area of the Muara Jaya Community Health Center (UPTD Puskesmas Muara Jaya). This study aimed to analyze factors associated with dermatitis prevention efforts in Karang Lantang Village, located within the service area of the Muara Jaya Community Health Center, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. A quantitative method with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study population consisted of 430 heads of households, with a sample of 82 respondents selected via simple random sampling. Data collection took place from March to June 2026 using questionnaires administered through interviews. Data analysis involved univariate and bivariate methods, utilizing the Chi-Square test. The results showed that 51 respondents (62.2%) demonstrated good dermatitis prevention efforts. Regarding the variables, 49 respondents (59.8%) held positive attitudes, 39 (47.6%) possessed good knowledge, and 50 (61%) practiced good personal hygiene. The Chi-Square test results indicated no significant association between attitude and dermatitis prevention efforts (p=0.062). Conversely, significant associations were found between knowledge and dermatitis prevention efforts (p<0.001), as well as between personal hygiene and dermatitis prevention efforts (p<0.001). The study concludes that knowledge and personal hygiene are associated with dermatitis prevention efforts, whereas attitude is not. Enhancing health education and the practice of personal hygiene are necessary measures for dermatitis prevention within the community.
