There are around 130 million people worldwide affected by scabies to date and scabies usually occurs in relatively densely populated places, such as prisons, orphanages, and Islamic boarding schools. Transmission occurs through direct contact with the sufferer's skin and if this disease is left untreated, secondary bacterial infections can occur due to scratching wounds in sufferers. Purpose:  To find out the level of knowledge of students regarding scabies incidents at the Imam Syuhodo Modern Islamic Boarding School. Methods: The type of research used in the study is descriptive research with quantitative analysis, where the sampling technique is carried out using the Quota Sampling method with a total of 89 respondents who are students of the Modern Imam Syuhodo Islamic Boarding School. The research instrument used is a questionnaire on knowledge about scabies. Results: The research shows that there are 39 students (43.8%) who have good knowledge, then 45 students (50.6%) who have sufficient knowledge, and 5 students (5.6%) who have less knowledge. Conclusion: The level of knowledge of students regarding scabies cases at the Imam Syuhodo Modern Islamic Boarding School shows that most of them have sufficient knowledge.

Abstract

Background: Decubitus ulcers are tissue damage caused by prolonged pressure without position changes. To prevent this, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions can be applied, including the use of anti-decubitus mattresses, massage, and repositioning or mobilization. Repositioning helps reduce pressure and friction on the skin, thus preventing pressure ulcers. Objective: To determine the effect of repositioning in preventing pressure ulcers in patients receiving care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Pandan Arang Regional Hospital Boyolali. Method: This study used a descriptive case study design. The intervention was conducted over four consecutive days, with repositioning performed three times daily for 15 minutes every two hours. The risk of pressure ulcers was assessed using the Braden Scale before and after the intervention. Results: After repositioning, the Braden score of Mr. J increased from 12 (high risk) to 14 (moderate risk), and Mrs. S from 13 (moderate risk) to 16 (low risk), indicating a decreased risk of pressure ulcers. Conclusion: There was a noticeable reduction in pressure ulcer risk in bedridden patients following repositioning. Therefore, repositioning can be considered an effective non-pharmacological technique to prevent pressure ulcers.
