PENERAPAN PERSONAL HYGIENE, SANITASI PERALATAN, DAN SANITASI LINGKUNGAN PADA PEDAGANG JAJANAN TELUR GULUNG DI SEKITAR KAMPUS UNIVERSITAS SRIWIJAYA INDRALAYA
Rolled egg street food is commonly sold by vendors around Universitas Sriwijaya Indralaya. However, hygiene practices in food preparation and serving remain inconsistent. Understanding vendors’ perceptions is essential to improving food safety practices. This study aimed to analyze vendors’ perceptions and experiences in implementing personal hygiene, equipment sanitation, and environmental sanitation based on the Health Belief Model. A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach was conducted. Six street food vendors were recruited as primary informants, supported by additional, key, and expert informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, documentation, and laboratory testing. Data analysis involved reduction, categorization, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation of sources, methods, and theory to ensure validity. Vendors perceived hygiene practices as beneficial for protecting health, ensuring customer comfort, and sustaining their business. Reported barriers included limited access to clean water, inadequate sanitation facilities, open stall environments, and high customer volume affecting consistency. Perceived susceptibility to foodborne illness was low, as vendors had not experienced direct food poisoning cases and laboratory results were within acceptable limits. Perceived severity was acknowledged but not considered urgent. Vendors demonstrated adequate self-efficacy based on experience and the absence of serious complaints. Cues to action primarily originated from health officers’ warnings and external information. Hygiene practices are shaped by individual perceptions and environmental conditions. Continuous education and improved sanitation facilities are necessary to enhance consistency in food safety practices among street vendors.
