Risk Factors Associated with Scabies Occurring in Islamic Boarding Schools: Literature Review

Background: Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia, in particular, have classic health problems. Some diseases that are common in Islamic boarding schools are scabies, shortness of breath, fever, fainting, cough and cold with influenza, gastritis/ulcer, and so on.

Personal health, knowledge, teacher and peer support are some of the causes. Aims: The purpose of this literature review was to identify some risk factors for scabies in Indonesian Islamic boarding schools. Method: The research was conducted using relevant literature databases, such as google scholar,n SageJournal and PubMed. The keyword used for this literature review was "scabies in Islamic boarding schools". The literature search was limited from 2013 - 2022. There were 11 articles that were relevant and related to scabies that occurred in boarding schools. Results: The results of the 11 articles showed that personal hygiene has a lot to do with and even influences the incidence of scabies in some boarding schools. Conclusion: So improving the personal hygiene of students is one of the important factors in preventing the incidence of scabies in Islamic boarding schools.

The exploitation of gold mining, environmental degradation, and the evident impacts of global warming signal a societal lack of awareness regarding ecological and social hazards. Recognizing the significance of ecological awareness, educational institutions, particularly Islamic boarding schools, are mandated to contribute to the creation of environmentally conscious communities. This research employs a qualitative ethnographic approach to elucidate the practical strategies employed by Indonesian Islamic boarding schools in environmental preservation.

Ecopedagogy involves selecting superior seeds, planting, fertilizing, and harvesting. Additionally, these institutions partake in environmental conservation by raising livestock, including chickens, goats, cows, and fish. Rooted in the teachings of the Al-Qur'an and Hadith, ecopedagogy is delivered through face-to-face instruction, in-depth discussions, and practical field guidance. This ecopedagogical approach, aligned with Islamic teachings, showcases the commitment of these Islamic boarding schools to instilling environmental preservation values in their students, reflecting a comprehensive approach to ecological consciousness.

Exploring Modernity, Nurturing Tradition: The Pesantren Leaders' Journey in Japan

The COVID-19 pandemic, from early 2020, compelled rigorous border restrictions among nations. Travel between countries became virtually impossible to curb the virus's rampant spread.

The physical and psychological harm of sexual violence experienced by women poses a significant threat to their human security, a fundamental right that the state should ideally ensure. However, promoting personal security requires the collective support of society as a whole. This study focuses on Jombang Regency's pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), which is renowned as a city of Islamic education or “Kota Santri”. It explores the role of local civil society organizations (CSOs) in promoting personal security against sexual violence in these settings. Through qualitative methods such as in-depth interviews with CSOs’ representatives and a comprehensive literature review from 2017 to 2022, the research reveals that CSOs in Jombang Regency engage in prevention, protection, and empowerment. However, the roles are not fully optimized, particularly in terms of protection, due to limited implementation and a focus on case management. The findings highlight the importance of implementing binding policies to govern pesantren management and encourage active participation in preventing and addressing sexual violence within religious educational institutions.

School Lunch Programs and Nutritional Education Improve Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices and Reduce the Prevalence of Anemia: A Pre-Post Intervention Study in an Indonesian Islamic Boarding School.

Indonesians face serious health issues that arise from malnutrition, particularly in children who are under unfavorable dietary environments. The present study established a school meal program consisting of dietary and educational interventions and evaluated its impact on promoting continuous improvement in dietary behavior among junior and senior high school students in Indonesia.

The KAP test scores for both nutrition and hygiene showed a significant increase for all students and the undernutrition group post-intervention. Protein, iron, and vitamin C intake significantly improved. Although there were no significant improvements in nutrition status, there was a significant increase in the hemoglobin level and a reduction in the prevalence of anemia from 42.6% to 21.7%. Thus, school meal program that combines dietary and educational interventions may effectively improve anemia in undernourished students as well as enhance the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to health, nutrition, and hygiene in junior and senior high school students.
