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.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a major concern in public health, particularly in Indonesia, and is influenced by various factors such as maternal knowledge and environmental sanitation conditions. Data from the working area of Bandar Pusaka Public Health Center show an increase in stunting cases from 59 cases in 2024 to 63 cases in 2025. This condition indicates that stunting remains a serious issue that requires attention; therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge and environmental sanitation with the incidence of stunting among toddlers. This study used a quantitative approach with an analytical cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 1,067 toddlers, with a sample of 91 respondents selected using proportional random sampling. The independent variables were maternal knowledge and environmental sanitation, while the dependent variable was stunting incidence. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the chi-square test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and stunting incidence (p 0000) as well as between environmental sanitation and stunting incidence (p 0018). Therefore, it can be concluded that maternal knowledge and environmental sanitation play an important role in the incidence of stunting among toddlers, indicating the need for improved health education and environmental sanitation as strategic efforts in stunting prevention.
