Improper food handling can be a major cause of food contamination. To prevent food contamination, the food handler should have good knowledge, display a positive attitude, and practice proper food handling practices. This study aimed to evaluate the food safety and personal hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices of food handlers at kitchen premises in the Port 'X' area in North Jakarta, Indonesia. This study uses a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted in April 2018 and May 2018. Data were collected from 72 food handlers from kitchens located in the Port 'X' area in North Jakarta. Data collection was performed through interviews and observations, using questionnaires and checklists as research instruments. The results show a significant correlation between the level of knowledge about food safety and the attitude of food handlers (=0.01), and attitude scores were significantly higher among food handlers who reported attending a previous food safety training course (=0.002) with (=0.302) it means a weak uphill (positive) linear relationship attitude scores and training that food handlers attended. This study found a significant relationship between the knowledge and attitude of food handlers, but there was no significant relationship between knowledge or attitude and food handling practices. Thus, it is recommended that training activities for food handlers be held regularly, as the food safety knowledge obtained from training or courses can translate into the improvement of attitudes and food handling practices.
不当的食品处理方式可能是食品污染的主要原因。为防止食品污染，食品处理人员应具备丰富的知识，展现积极的态度，并践行正确的食品处理方法。本研究旨在评估印度尼西亚雅加达北部“X”港地区厨房场所食品处理人员的食品安全及个人卫生知识、态度和行为。本研究采用横断面设计。研究于2018年4月和2018年5月进行。数据收集自雅加达北部“X”港地区厨房的72名食品处理人员。数据收集通过访谈和观察进行，使用问卷和清单作为研究工具。结果显示，食品安全知识水平与食品处理人员的态度之间存在显著相关性（=0.01），并且在报告参加过先前食品安全培训课程的食品处理人员中，态度得分显著更高（=0.002），其中（=0.302）意味着食品处理人员的态度得分与所参加的培训之间存在微弱的上升（正）线性关系。本研究发现食品处理人员的知识与态度之间存在显著关系，但知识或态度与食品处理行为之间不存在显著关系。因此，建议定期为食品处理人员开展培训活动，因为从培训或课程中获得的食品安全知识可以转化为态度和食品处理行为的改善。
