Abstract

Pediculosis capitis remains common in Islamic boarding schools, especially among female students living in overcrowded dormitories, facilitating transmission through close contact and shared personal items. In Indonesia, the prevalence is still high at around 20%, particularly among children and adolescents in communal settings. Despite this, pediculosis capitis is often considered a neglected disease, leading to suboptimal management. This study aims to identify factors associated with the risk of pediculosis capitis among female students. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Informants were selected purposively, consisting of caregivers, dorm supervisors, sanitation staff, and students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and document review, then analyzed using qualitative analysis supported by ATLAS.ti. The risk of pediculosis is influenced by behavioral and environmental factors. Behaviors such as sharing combs, infrequent hair washing, and limited knowledge of prevention increase vulnerability. Environmental factors—including crowded rooms, humidity, close sleeping arrangements, and limited cleanliness supervision also contribute to transmission. Pediculosis among female students results from a combination of personal habits, room conditions, and communal living culture. Effective prevention requires stronger hygiene education, reduced sharing of personal items, and improved environmental cleanliness monitoring.
