The awareness of farmers in using personal protective equipment, when spraying is still very low. So we need a participatory method in increasing the awareness of farmers in using personal protective equipment. The participatory method which proved to be quite significant in raising awareness was the participatory rural appraisal method. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of participatory rural appraisal in increasing the awareness of spraying farmers on the use of personal protective equipment.

The results showed that there was an effect of effective participatory rural appraisal methods in increasing farmers' awareness of the use of personal protective equipment, which obtained a p-value = 0,000 <α = 0.05. This is because the participatory rural appraisal method can increase farmers' knowledge in remembering or receiving information provided in this case the use of personal protective equipment. The participatory rural appraisal method is effective in increasing farmers' awareness of the use of personal protective equipment.
