Scabies transmission caused by the female mite Sarcoptes scabei var. hominis, can occur due to direct or indirect contact with the patient's skin. Risk factors that cause scabies were socioeconomic , patient age, gender, personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, culture, and Islamic boarding schools management. This study aims to determine the relationship between personal hygiene and environmental sanitation with the scabies incidence and differences in personal hygiene and environmental sanitation between men and women in Islamic boarding schools. This type of research was quantitative observational using an analytic survey study with a cross-sectional approach with 114 sample. Analysis used frequency distribution and bivariate analysis using the Chi Square test and the Mann-Whitney Test with a p-value less than 0.05. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between personal hygiene subvariables: skin cleanliness, antiseptics use, cleanliness of clothing and prayer equipment, towels cleanliness, hand and nail hygiene, bed cleanliness, and genital hygiene, with the scabies incidence. Environmental sanitation sub-variables include lighting and water cleanliness, which are significantly related to the scabies incidence. Also, there are significant differences in personal hygiene and environmental sanitation between men and women which can affect the scabies incidence at the Asy-Syadzili 4 Gondanglegi Islamic boarding school, Malang.
