Introduction
Islamic Boarding School as an Islamic educational institution has a uniqueness and superiority, which emphasizes
the principles and values of spiritual, philosophical, and educative compared to other educational systems that exist
in Indonesia. Islamic Boarding School apply the principles of struggle, dedication, sacrifice, ijtihad, and mujahadah
inspired by values of sincerity, simplicity, confidence, independence, brotherhood, solidarity, and freedom of
positive and productive thinking (Halim, et al, 2005). Formidable Islamic students certainly need to have healthy
physic and strong mental. While physical health and mental strength of students cannot be separated from health
behaviors undertaken daily by students at the Islamic boarding school, it is automatically make the management in
Islamic boarding school one of the factors that influence the health behavior.
Research results of Khumayra & Sulisno (2012) stated that health behavior in Islamic students in preventing scabies
and its treatment are generally still low. Scabies or mange is a contagious skin disease caused by infestation of
scabiei var hominis due to direct or indirect contact (Kusmarinah & Aisyah, 1985; Harahap, 1998). Scabies disease
is one of the disease that affects many Islamic students during the stay in the Islamic boarding school, and extremely
disturb their learning productivity as well as frequently infect other students. Kuspriyanto in Khumayra & Sulisno
(2012) said that the prevalence of scabies in developing countries ranges between 6-27%, while in Indonesia
amounted to 4.60 to 12.95%. Indonesia Department of Health in Kusmarinah & Aisyah (1985) mentions the
environment-based infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, upper respiratory tract infection, diarrhea and skin
diseases are health issues that generally experienced by Islamic students at the Islamic boarding school. Dhini Marga
Rahadian research results regarding Islamic student personal hygiene and sanitation in Islamic boarding school of
putrid KHA. Wahid Hasyim Bangil Pasuruan in 2008, concluded that the sanitary condition of the Islamic boarding
school is still not good and most of the students commonly suffer from colds, headaches, cold-cough, migraine,
toothache, etc. (Ikhwanudin, 2013). Effendy (2009) states pesantren function other than as a place of learning can
also pose a threat in transmissing disease if it not properly managed, because density levels in Islamic boarding
school so that the residents of Islamic boarding schools is a group at risk of the disease. Result: Rofiq in Ikhwanudin
(2013) factors that determine the low quality of Islamic student health behaviors is the rules lodge, lodge facilities,
Skinner (Soekidjo & Notoatmodjo, 2010) interpret behavior as a person's response or reaction to stimuli from the
environment, where the behavior can take the form of action that can be observed even be studied. Human behavior
is essentially a process of individual interaction with the environment as a biological manifestation of thought that
he is a living creature (Subarniati & Rika, 1996). Health behaviors of Islamic students strongly influenced by
environmental conditions of Islamic boarding schools situations, and in general, the majority of Islamic boarding
schools conditions in Indonesia are lacking attention toward health problems. One cause of the poor quality of
student health at Islamic boarding school because the Islamic boarding schools have a tradition and a simple
lifestyle. Another factor is the lack of facilities and infrastructure to support the daily life in Islamic boarding
schools, including their health facilities. Islamic student behavior tend to imitate clerics, ustad, and badal (clerics
substitute) that is simple and understated in dealing with the limited facilities and infrastructure in Islamic boarding
schools (Dhofir & Zamakhsyari, 2011). Education environments management in Islamic boarding schools aims to
improve the environmental management of Islamic boarding schools by integrating the ecological aspect, the
Islamic culture, and the condition of Islamic students. Erickson & King in Barrow (2006) explains that the
educational environments management in Islamic boarding schools steer Islamic boarding schools environmental

These data indicate that the health behavior of Islamic students in educational institutions of Islamic boarding
schools in Middle Java can be said has been good enough. Figure 4 amplifies the data in Figure 3 with displaying
the results of the score distribution of Islamic student perception on the response to the disease, attitude to maintain
healthy, activity to withstand the disease, and an action to seek treatment in greater detail. In figure 4 shows
respondent's perception scores of the response to the disease is higher compared to the attitude to maintain healthy,
activity to withstand the disease, and actions to seek treatment. This shows that the response to the disease carried by
Islamic students is better than the attitude to maintain healthy, activity to withstand the disease, and actions to seek
treatment in health behavior variable at the Islamic boarding school in Middle Java.

multicollinearity. Test results of inter variable influence can be seen in tables below:
Table 1 Test results of educational environments management influence toward response to the disease as health
behavior dimension.
Based on the test results in Table 1, it shows that maintenance of facilities and infrastructure has a positive and
significant influence toward response to the disease as a dimension of health behavior. This is supported by the p-
value of 0.025 and is smaller than an alpha value of 0.05, so that it can be concluded Ha accepted or there is an
influence between maintenance of facilities and infrastructure with response to the disease. In health behavior,
Islamic students in Islamic boarding school influenced by insufficient or not the number of educational facilities and
infrastructure provided by the manager of Islamic boarding school. This means that the insufficient number of
educational facilities and infrastructure provided by Islamic boarding school manager is expected to increase the
health behaviors of Islamic students at the school. The value of coefficient is 0.242 and positive means that the
maintenance of facilities and infrastructure has a positive and significant impact on response to the disease.
The second dimension of educational environments management is development of Islamic academic that have a
positive and significant influence toward response to the disease as the dimensions of health behavior. It can be
shown by the test result in Table 1, the p-value of 0.002 and is smaller than the value alpha 0.05, which means it

significant influence toward attitude to maintain healthy as a dimension of health behavior. This is supported by the
p-value of 0.000 and is smaller than an alpha value of 0.05, so it can be concluded that Ha is accepted or there is an
influence between maintenance of facilities and infrastructure with Islamic student attitude to maintain healthy. In
health behavior, Islamic students in Islamic boarding school influenced by good or not the quality of educational
facilities and infrastructure provided by the manager of Islamic boarding school. This means that a good quality of
educational facilities and infrastructure provided by Islamic boarding school manager is expected to increase the
health behaviors of Islamic students at the school. The value of coefficient is 0.427 and positive means that the
maintenance of facilities and infrastructure has a positive and significant impact on attitude to maintain healthy.
The second dimension of educational environments management is development of Islamic academic that have a
positive and significant influence toward attitude to maintain healthy as the dimensions of health behavior. It can be
shown by the test result in Table 2, the p-value of 0.046 and is smaller than the value alpha 0.05, which means it
accept Ha or there is an influence between development of Islamic academic with attitude to maintain healthy as
health behavior dimension. The value of coefficient is 0.215 and positive means that the development of Islamic
academic has a positive and significant impact on Islamic student attitude to maintain healthy as health behavior
dimension.

significant influence toward activity to withstand the disease as a dimension of health behavior. This is supported by
the p-value of 0.0015 and is smaller than an alpha value of 0.05, so it can be concluded that Ha is accepted or there
is an influence between maintenance of facilities and infrastructure with Islamic student activity to withstand the
disease. In health behavior, Islamic students in Islamic boarding school influenced by whether durable or not the
educational facilities and infrastructure provided by the manager of Islamic boarding school. This means that more
durable the educational facilities and infrastructure provided by Islamic boarding school manager, expected to
increase the health behaviors of Islamic students at the school. The value of coefficient is 0.425 and positive means
that the maintenance of facilities and infrastructure has a positive and significant impact on activity to withstand the
disease.
The second dimension of educational environments management is development of Islamic academic that have a
positive and significant influence toward activity to withstand the disease as the dimensions of health behavior. It
can be shown by the test result in Table 3, the p-value of 0.001 and is smaller than the value alpha 0.05, which
means it accept Ha or there is an influence between development of Islamic academic with activity to withstand the
disease.as health behavior dimension. The value of coefficient is 0.443 and positive means that the development of
Islamic academic has a positive and significant impact on Islamic student activity to withstand the disease as health
behavior dimension.
Table 4. Test results of educational environments management influence toward action to seek treatment as health
behavior dimension.
Based on the test results in Table 4, it shows that maintenance of facilities and infrastructure has a positive and
significant influence toward action to seek treatment as a dimension of health behavior. This is supported by the p-
value of 0.000 and is smaller than an alpha value of 0.05, so it can be concluded that Ha is accepted or there is an
influence between maintenance of facilities and infrastructure with Islamic student action to seek treatment. In
health behavior, Islamic students in Islamic boarding school influenced by the adequate or not the educational
facilities and infrastructure provided by the manager of Islamic boarding school. This means that an adequate
educational facilities and infrastructure provided by Islamic boarding school manager is expected to increase the
health behaviors of Islamic students at the school. The value of coefficient is 0.460 and positive means that the
maintenance of facilities and infrastructure has a positive and significant impact on action to seek treatment.
The second dimension of educational environments management is development of Islamic academic that have a
positive and significant influence toward action to seek treatment as the dimensions of health behavior. It can be
shown by the test result in Table 4, the p-value of 0.041 and is smaller than the value alpha 0.05, which means it
accept Ha or there is an influence between development of Islamic academic with action to seek treatment as health
behavior dimension. The value of coefficient is 0.213 and positive means that the development of Islamic academic
has a positive and significant impact on Islamic student action to seek treatment as health behavior dimension.
Conclusion
These results indicate there is a significant and positive influence of education environments management Islamic
boarding school toward health behavior of Islamic students at the Islamic boarding school in Middle Java,
Indonesia. This can be interpreted that, if the effectiveness of education environments management in boarding
schools be improved, the health behavior of Islamic students will also be better. Likewise, if the effectiveness of
education environments management of Islamic boarding schools is low, then the health behavior of Islamic
students will also be decreased. Score value is not good on dimension of action to seek treatment from health
behavior variables, showed that education environments management in Islamic boarding schools still needs
improvement. Increasing the effectiveness of education environments management in Islamic boarding schools
should focus on providing a sufficient number of facilities and infrastructure and improving the quality of facilities
and infrastructure adequately. The difficulty of Islamic boarding schools funding sources be one of the obstacles in
improving the effectiveness of education environments management of Islamic boarding schools, especially in
providing a sufficient and adequate facilities and infrastructure. Several efforts that can be done by Islamic boarding
schools to obtain funding sources, among others through the submission of proposal for funding to the central and
local governments (Ministry of Religious Affairs and local government), and also to donor groups (companies, non-
profit institution, etc.). Funding source of Islamic boarding schools can also be obtained from the governmental and
non-governmental organizations from the Islamic countries that is wealthy or from the individual donors. The higher
results of Islamic student perception is the development of Islamic academic compared to the maintenance of
facilities and infrastructure, show that the development of Islamic academic process conducted by Islamic boarding
schools manager has been running well and according to expectations of Islamic students. The development of
Islamic academic in Islamic boarding schools is able to establish the values of sincerity, simplicity, exemplary and
independence in Islamic student self (QUOTES). The value of sincerity, simplicity, exemplary and independence is
indicated as one of factors that caused health behavior of Islamic students is not very good. Those values are
believed to make Islamic students become a person who resigned in facing difficulties, including being not too
enthusiastic to seek treatment when they are not feeling well or attacked by diseases.
