Abstract
Health Education in Efforts to Prevent Scabies at Islamic Boarding School of Harsallakum Madrasah Tsanawiyah Bengkulu
 Scabies is a skin disease caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei parasite that invades the skin of humans or animals. The high prevalence of scabies is generally found in environments with high population density and high interpersonal contacts such as prisons, Islamic boarding schools, and orphanages. There has been no research on the prevalence of scabies in the Harsallakum Islamic Boarding School, Bengkulu city. However, based on information from the school, there were several students who have been infected by skin disease with clinical symptoms of scabies. This community service program was aimed to provide education to students about preventing scabies infection. The service activities included delivering material about scabies, distributing leaflets, post-test and pre-test. This activity was attended by 65 participants. Evaluation included pre-test and post-test about the education carried out. The instrument to measure the level of students' understanding was the form of a questionnaire. The average value of the pre-test was 55.18 while the average value of the post-test was 80.26. It was concluded that this educational activity could increase the knowledge of the students of the Harsallakum Islamic Boarding School in Bengkulu about scabies disease. To optimize the prevention of scabies transmission, it is recommended to increase health education activities by involving health workers.

Summary
PENDAHULUAN Penyakit skabies merupakan penyakit kulit dengan insidensi dan prevalensi yang tinggi di seluruh dunia, terutama di daerah beriklim tropis dan subtropis (Hilma & Ghazali, 2014). Hal ini didukung juga oleh penelitian Akmal et al, (2013) bahwa kejadian penyakit skabies ada hubungannya dengan personal hygiene di pondok pasantren Islam Darul Ulum Padang. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian Sukiman (2017), disimpulkan adanya hubungan antara personal hygiene dan kepadatan hunian dengan kejadian skabies pada santri di pondok pesantren Al Mubaarak Kota Bengkulu. Belum diketahui prevalensi angka infeksi skabies di pondok pasantren dan belum pernah dilakukan penyuluhan kesehatan yang berkaitan dengan upaya pencegahan penyakit skabies.
