ABSTRACTBackground:Leprosy is an infectious disease that can cause physical disability, as well as social, economic, and cultural problems. The prevalence of leprosy in Indonesia is still high. Objective:The purpose of this study was to determine patients’ behavioral factors that influence the incidence of leprosy.Methods:An ex-post-facto analysis with a case-control approachwas used.The population of the study was the entire Brengkok Village community. The sampling technique is a fixed-disease sampling method, in whichthe all cases(34 persons) are clinically provenleprosy sufferersand the controls(34 persons)are thecomparable neighbors of the sufferers. Data analysis was done using a chi-squaretest,and therisk of disease was measured bythe odd ratio (OR). Results:Testing for differences between the case and the control group resulted in p =0.000for knowledge about the cause of leprosy, p =0.005for detecting an early sign of leprosy, p =0.000for knowledge about the transmission of leprosy, and p =0.000for affecting the incidence of leprosy. The results showed that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge and the incidence of leprosy(p = 0.002), while the OR value obtained is 7.50 (CI: 2,168 -25,946). Furthermore, testing for differences between the case and the control group yielded p =1.000for the use of different clothes;p =0.000for the use of different bathing tools;p =0.000for the use of different towels, which means there is a connection between the use of towels andthe incidence of leprosy;andp =0.003for the use ofdifferent footwear.In addition, there is a relationship between the actions of peopleand the incidence of leprosy (p =0.000), while the OR value obtained was 59,933 (CI: 13.131 -273,557). Conclusion:The knowledge and actions of people affected by leprosy are predisposing factors associated with the incidence of leprosy and are risk factorsforthe disease.Knowledge about the transmission of leprosy and the activity of using different towels are the most important factorsinfluencing the incidence ofleprosy.Keywords:knowledge,actions,leprosy, Indonesia
