Acne vulgaris is a type of skin disorder that often occurs in adolescents and young adults. Although this skin disorder is not a fatal disease, it is very disturbing for the sufferers and could lead to their low self-confidence. This study determines the correlation between the knowledge about and attitudes to acne vulgaris of students in the Nursing Study Program of the Cenderawasih University. This research is a quantitative study using a cross sectional approach. Data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate analysis using Spearmen Rank statistical test with a degree of confidence 95% (? = 0.05) to discover the correlation between the two variables. A stratified random sampling technique was applied to find a sample size of 165 respondents. The results indicated that there was a correlation between the knowledge about and attitudes of students to acne vulgaris with p-value of p = 0.029. The strength of the relationship between the two variables is expressed by the correlation coefficient r = 0.171. Based on the Spearmen Rank category, the strength of the relationship is at low category. This study suggest the importance of students having knowledge about skin health, receiving the right sources of information about skin care related to acne vulgaris in order to enhance a good attitude and minimize the incidence of acne vulgaris.
