Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices Regarding Food Hygiene and Sanitation of Food Street Handlers in the Public Elementary School at Greater Jakarta, Indonesia
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of food street handlers at public elementary school in Greater Jakarta, a major capital of Indonesia, regarding food hygiene and sanitation. Data were collected from 400 food handlers using cross sectional study method through questionnaires which consisted of questions about the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of handling food. The results show that the food handlers have excellent knowledge and attitude, but slightly good practices towards food hygiene and sanitation with mean score (SD) of 82.32 (±11.55), 80.15 (±10.1), 53.04 (±10.67), respectively. There is a significant correlation between the level of education and the participation of food hygiene training on the KAP level (p<0.05). The results of the correlation test show that there is a significantly positive correlation between knowledge and attitudes (p = 0.000; r= 0.758), attitudes and practice (p = 0.000; r= 0.367), and knowledge and practice (p = 0.000; r= 0.300). Logistic regression shows that food handlers that have excellent knowledge level have 3 times greater tendency to have excellent food hygiene practices.
