PENYULUHAN AWAM SERENTAK MENGENAI INFEKSI JAMUR PADA KULIT

Abstract

Simultaneous public education on fungal skin infections was conducted to improve public understanding of the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of fungal infections. The methods used included the delivery of educational materials, question and answer sessions, and live demonstrations on skin hygiene practices. Evaluation using pre-tests and post-tests showed a significant increase in knowledge, from an average initial score of 40% to 85% after the education. The results of this activity emphasize the importance of community-based education in overcoming skin health problems and increasing public awareness of the importance of maintaining personal hygiene. This education also made a positive contribution to reducing the incidence of fungal skin infections in the community.
