Abstract

Latar belakang: Personal hygiene merupakan aspek penting dalam menjaga kesehatan pekerja, terutama bagi pengangkut sampah yang rentan terhadap paparan limbah dan agen penyakit. Meskipun pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap personal hygiene berperan dalam membentuk perilaku kerja aman, implementasinya masih menghadapi berbagai kendala di lapangan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui korelasi antara faktor pengetahuan, sikap, dan tindakan personal hygiene pada pengangkut sampah motor Viar di Kecamatan Manggala, Makassar.

Metode: Penelitian observasional deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Populasi sebanyak 79 pekerja pengangkut sampah motor Viar diambil secara total sampling. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Manggala, Makassar Sulawesi Selatan. Waktu penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada tanggal 9 Juni- 9 Juli 2025. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner, observasi, dan wawancara, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji korelasi Pearson dengan aplikasi Jamovi 2.26.44.

Hasil: Mayoritas responden memiliki pengetahuan baik (68,4%) dan sikap baik (64,6%), namun tindakan baik hanya sebesar 49,4%. Terdapat korelasi sangat kuat antara pengetahuan dan sikap (r = 0.861; p < 0.001), namun tidak ditemukan korelasi signifikan antara pengetahuan dan tindakan (r = 0.127; p = 0.263) maupun sikap dan tindakan (r = 0.096; p = 0.398).

Simpulan: Pengetahuan dan sikap yang baik tidak serta-merta menghasilkan tindakan personal hygiene yang optimal. Diperlukan pendekatan promotif dan fasilitatif yang lebih intensif untuk menjembatani kesenjangan antara sikap dan perilaku kerja aman.

ABSTRACT

Correlation Analysis of Knowledge Factors, Attitudes and Personal Hygiene Actions in Viar Motorcycle Waste Carriers in Manggala District Makassar

Background: Personal hygiene is an important aspect in maintaining worker health, especially for waste transporters who are vulnerable to exposure to waste and disease agents. Although knowledge and attitude towards personal hygiene play a role in shaping safe work behavior, its implementation still faces various obstacles in the field. The objectives of this research are to determine the correlation between knowledge, attitude, and personal hygiene behavior among Viar motorcycle waste carriers in Manggala Subdistrict, Makassar

Method: Descriptive observational research with a quantitative approach. The population of 79 workers transporting Viar motorcycle waste was taken by total sampling. This research was conducted in Manggala District, Makassar, South Sulawesi. This research was conducted on June 9-July 9, 2025. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, then analyzed using the Pearson correlation test with the Jamovi 2.26.44 application.

Result: The majority of respondents had good knowledge (68.4%) and good attitude (64.6%), but only 49.4% had good action. There was a very strong correlation between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.861; p < 0.001), but no significant correlation between knowledge and action (r = 0.127; p = 0.263) or attitude and action (r = 0.096; p = 0.398).

Conclusion: Good knowledge and attitude do not necessarily result in optimal personal hygiene actions. A more intensive promotive and facilitative approach is needed to bridge the gap between attitude and safe work behavior.
