Abstract

Personal hygiene is a health practice carried out when processing food. Lack of implementation of personal hygiene will have an impact on a person's health, such as experiencing food poisoning. The growth of a person's personal hygiene practices can be influenced by knowledge and attitudes. This research explores the knowledge and attitudes of food handlers towards personal hygiene using qualitative and quantitative approaches. A quantitative approach was performed with a cross-sectional design and a qualitative with a descriptive design. Sampling was taken using a total sampling technique, thereby, all food handlers were sampled, resulting in 30 respondents. Data analysis was carried out using the Spearman test. Meanwhile, the sample test was carried out using a compact dry test. The results indicate a relationship between knowledge of personal hygiene with a p-value of .000, along with a relationship between attitude and personal hygiene with a p-value of .000. Further, the compact dry test results signify negative results, suggesting the absence of bacteria in the food. Based on this study, Islamic boarding school needs to pay attention to the knowledge and attitudes of the host by providing cooking training or education regarding sanitary hygiene practices.
