Scabies is one of the infectious skin diseases that is still often found in Indonesia, especially in environments with high population densities such as Islamic boarding schools and orphanages. This disease is caused by an infestation of the Sarcoptes scabiei mite which causes severe itching, especially at night, so that it can interfere with the quality of sleep and daily activities of the sufferer. This condition not only has an impact on physical health, but also affects the psychological and social aspects of students. Scabies prevention efforts require adequate knowledge from each individual in order to maintain good personal hygiene and the environment. This study aims to determine the influence of health education through the peer education method on increasing students' knowledge in preventing scabies. The research method uses a quasi experiment design with a one group pre-test post-test approach. The research sample was taken using the total sampling technique, covering all students who were respondents. Data analysis was carried out by paired samples t-test to see differences in knowledge before and after the intervention. The results showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) which means that there is a significant influence of the peer education method on improving student knowledge. In other words, the delivery of health information through peers is considered effective because communication takes place more intimately, is easy to accept, and is able to increase awareness of the importance of maintaining personal and environmental hygiene.

Scabies is a contagious skin disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei infestation, and generally affects children and adolescents, especially those living in crowded and unhygienic environments such as orphanages. This disease is highly contagious through direct contact and the sharing of personal items, such as towels, clothing, and bedding. Therefore, ongoing promotional and preventive efforts are crucial to prevent the spread of scabies in vulnerable communities. This community service activity was carried out at the Harapan Kita Orphanage within the Ariodillah Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area. The main objective of the activity was to increase children's knowledge, awareness, and skills in preventing scabies transmission. The activity methods used included two-way discussion-based health education, providing real-life examples of personal hygiene, and distributing educational leaflets that are easy for children to understand. The education was conducted interactively by involving participants in questions and answers, handwashing simulations, and education on the importance of washing clothes and maintaining clean bedding. Post-activity observations showed that all participants did not experience active scabies symptoms, and there was an increase in participants' understanding of clean and healthy lifestyles. The children showed high enthusiasm and were able to reflect on the information presented. Overall, this activity proved effective in raising awareness of the importance of personal and environmental hygiene. This counseling model is highly relevant for regular implementation in orphanages or other institutions at high risk of spreading infectious skin diseases, as part of an education-based public health strategy. With the active involvement of the orphanage caregivers, it is hoped that this program can be sustainable and become part of the routine health education for children.

Pruritus, or itching, is a common symptom in seniors that has a significant impact on their quality of life. Primary skin disorders such as xerosis, atopic dermatitis, and scabies, as well as systemic diseases such as cancer, chronic renal failure, cholestasis, hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, iron deficiency anemia, and certain medications, can cause this condition. Chronic pruritus, which is common in individuals over 60 years of age, can cause discomfort, sleep disturbances, and psychological stress. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology to screen for pruritus intensity in the elderly in St. Anna. One individual (2.4%) reported mild pruritus, while 12 individuals (29.3%) reported severe pruritus. Routine assessment using the 12-PSS provides important information for managing pruritus in the elderly, meeting clinical and research needs, and improving patient care and quality of life.
