Abstract

The high generation of waste in Indonesia, especially in the city of Surakarta, as well as suboptimal management has the potential to cause environmental pollution and increase the risk of health problems, especially in vulnerable groups such as scavengers at the Putri Cempo Landfill. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and personal hygiene behavior in scavengers at Putri Cempo Landfill Surakarta with an observational design and this cross sectional approach has been carried out in February 2026. The research population was 287 scavengers, with a sample of 162 respondents taken using the purposive sampling technique. The results were obtained through primary data collected using a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability and equipped with observational data. Data analysis was carried out univariate and bivariate using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that in the group of scavengers with low knowledge, most (56.2%) had poor personal hygiene behavior, while in the group with high knowledge, the majority (66.3%) had good personal hygiene behavior. The results of the Chi-Square test found that there was a significant relationship between knowledge and personal hygiene behavior in scavengers at the Putri Cempo Landfill Surakarta (p = 0.007). The conclusion of the research is the need to educate the scavenger community to increase personal hygiene knowledge and maximize the provision of sanitation facilities around the landfill.

Abstract

The environmental conditions of the Landfill (TPA) of unhygienic waste are at high risk to the skin health of workers, especially scavengers who interact directly with waste every day. This study aims to analyze the relationship between personal hygiene and symptoms of skin diseases in scavengers at TPA Putri Cempo Surakarta. This research is an analytical  observational research design through a cross sectional approach that has been carried out in February 2026 at the Putri Cempo Surakarta Landfill located in Mojosongo Village, Surakarta. Sampling involved 162 respondents obtained from a population of 287 people at the Putri Cempo Landfill through the calculation of the Lemeshow formula and purposive sampling techniques. Primary data was collected through filling out questionnaires and direct observation. The results showed that 78 (80.4%) scavengers with poor personal hygiene had experienced skin diseases in the last six months. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the incidence of skin diseases and personal hygiene supported by the chi-square test with a p value of 0.028 (p < 0.05). So it can be concluded that poor personal hygiene has an impact on the appearance of skin disease symptoms in scavengers at landfills. Good preventive measures and personal hygiene are the key to increasing the safety and productivity of scavengers.
