Abstract

The use of traditional medicine has long been integral to Indonesian society, offering affordable and accessible healthcare options. This study evaluates the patterns of traditional medicine use in Bireuen Meunasah Blang Village, focusing on respondent demographics, self-medication practices, and perceptions of affordability, effectiveness, and accessibility. Using a descriptive quantitative design, data were collected from 97 respondents aged 18–60 years through structured questionnaires. Results indicate that 54.6% of respondents demonstrate adequate use of traditional medicine, while 76.3% follow appropriate usage guidelines. Perceptions of cost and availability were predominantly positive, with 48.5% finding traditional medicines affordable and 70.1% familiar with their names. However, knowledge of side effects and sources of information remains limited. These findings underline the need for targeted public health education to enhance safe and informed self-medication practices with traditional medicines.

Abstract

Early marriage remains an important adolescent health and social issue because it may be associated with early pregnancy, reproductive health complications, interrupted education, and psychosocial consequences. Adequate knowledge among school-age adolescents is therefore important for informed decision-making and prevention efforts. This study aimed to describe the level of knowledge regarding early marriage among students of YAPIM senior high/vocational high schools in Medan. A descriptive quantitative design was used. Data were collected on 11 April 2026 at YAPIM, Jalan Air Bersih, Medan, using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire contained 10 multiple-choice knowledge items covering the definition of early marriage, contributing factors, health risks, social and psychological consequences, prevention, and the role of schools. Each correct answer was scored 1 and each incorrect answer 0. Knowledge was categorized as good (76–100%), moderate (56–75%), or poor (<56%). The study involved 30 students, consisting of 12 males (40.0%) and 18 females (60.0%). The knowledge distribution showed that 10 respondents (33.3%) had good knowledge, 12 (40.0%) had moderate knowledge, and 8 (26.7%) had poor knowledge. Thus, 73.3% of respondents were in the good or moderate categories, while more than one-quarter still had poor knowledge. The findings indicate that knowledge about early marriage among students was heterogeneous and that a meaningful proportion of students still requires strengthening of information, particularly concerning long-term reproductive, educational, psychological, and socioeconomic consequences. School-based reproductive health education involving teachers and health professionals may be used as a preventive strategy. Further studies with larger samples and analytical designs are recommended to examine factors associated with knowledge and to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions.
