Factors associated with dermatitis preventive behavior: A community-based study
Keywords:
attitude, demographic characteristics, dermatitis prevention behavior, knowledge, information exposureAbstract
Background: As the prevalence of dermatitis continues to increase in Indonesia, particularly in urban areas, preventive behavior becomes a crucial determinant. National data from the 2018 Basic Health Research (RISKESDAS) reported a prevalence of 6.8%, with some provinces including Jakarta showing rates above the national average. Preventive behavior against dermatitis is influenced by demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitudes, and access to information. Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytic observational design using a cross-sectional approach. A total of 106 respondents aged 15–45 years in Kemayoran District, Jakarta, were selected through quota sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that had passed validity and reliability testing (Cronbach’s Alpha > 0.70). Analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test. Findings: The results showed that respondents aged 31–45 years (60%), females (57.9%), those with higher education levels (67.4%), employed individuals (61.7%), respondents with good knowledge (66.2%), positive attitudes (60.5%), and those exposed to information about dermatitis (63%) were more likely to adopt preventive behaviors. Significant associations were found between preventive behavior and demographic characteristics (age, gender, education, occupation), knowledge, attitudes, and information exposure (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Demographic factors, knowledge, attitudes, and information exposure significantly influence dermatitis prevention behavior in urban communities. These findings highlight the importance of targeted health promotion programs, especially for groups with lower education and limited access to dermatological information. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study provides new empirical evidence by examining dermatitis prevention behavior in Kemayoran District, a densely populated urban area that has rarely been investigated, thereby enriching the literature on preventive health behavior in Indonesia.
