Pediculosis capitis is often found in people who live in crowded environments such as boarding schools. In order to prevent pediculosis capitis, students should be given sufficient knowledge. The purpose of this study was to know the effects of health promotion in improving students’ knowledge about the transmission of pediculosis. This pre-post study with a total sampling method was held in May 2012 by giving questionnaires to 181 students consisting of 110 junior high school students and 71 senior high school students in an Islamic boarding school. The questionnaire consisted of five questions about the transmission of pediculosis which were scored. The results showed that before the health promotion, there were 24 (13.3%) students who had a good level of knowledge, 71 (39.2%) students had a fair level of knowledge, and 86 (47.5%) students had a poor level of knowledge. After the health promotion, the number of students who had a good level of knowledge increased to 87 (48.1%) students, those with a fair level of knowledge were 80 (44.2%), and 14 (7.7%) students had a poor level of knowledge. There were significant differences in the level of knowledge before and after the health promotion (marginal homogeneity test, p less than 0.01). In conclusion, health promotion is effective in improving students’ knowledge about the transmission of pediculosis.
