en Enhancing Scabies Prevention Knowledge in Boarding School Students through the BETRI Model for Health Promotion Aims: This study aimed to develop the BETRI model in health promotion to increase knowledge of scabies prevention among students. Materials & Methods: This experimental research employed a research and development approach using the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) framework. The analysis stage involved identifying needs, context, and relevant literature. The participants were students at boarding schools, specifically Pondok Pesantren Mambaul Ulum and SMAN Titian Teras in Jambi. In the small group trial, the study included ten students from each institution, while the field trial involved 120 students (60 students from each institution). The health promotion products developed included educational videos, posters, pocketbooks, and educational modules, which were validated by experts and tested in stages. In the evaluation stage, a pre-test-post-test one-group design was conducted using a paired t-test. Findings: The implementation of this model significantly improved students’ knowledge, with a mean score increasing from 54.17 in the pre-test to 95.00 in the post-test (p<0.0001). Additionally, the educational media designed was deemed interesting, easy to understand, and effective in enhancing students’ awareness of the importance of personal hygiene and the prevention of scabies. This model was feasible for application in a boarding school environment as a preventive measure against scabies. Conclusion: The development of an ADDIE-based health promotion model successfully increases knowledge and behaviors related to scabies prevention among students.
