Abstract

Public health can be compromised by the consumption of improperly handled food. Personal hygiene practices among food handlers are crucial for ensuring food safety, as poor hygiene can facilitate the entry of harmful microorganisms into food. In Langsa Lama District, Langsa City, some food handlers still fail to consistently practice personal hygiene, thereby potentially increasing the risk of food contamination. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge, length of employment, and attitude regarding personal hygiene practices among food handlers. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, conducted from July 7 to 12, 2025. The study subjects consisted of 39 food handlers registered with the Langsa City DPMPTSP, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and direct observation, then analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed no significant relationship between knowledge (p = 0.159) or length of employment (p = 0.089) and personal hygiene practices. However, attitude showed a significant relationship (p = 0.018) with these hygiene practices. These findings indicate that attitude plays a stronger role in shaping hygiene behavior than knowledge or work experience. Therefore, continuous education, awareness-raising, and consistent supervision are required to foster better personal hygiene practices.
