Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and disaster preparedness of adolescent girls regarding menstrual hygiene management in disaster situations at MTSN 2 Mentawai Islands. The program was implemented through health education using presentations, group discussions, and question-and-answer sessions involving 50 female students from grades VII, VIII, and IX on May 29–30, 2026. Program evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test questionnaires to assess changes in participants’ knowledge levels. The results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge following the intervention. Knowledge regarding the definition of menstruation increased from 45% to 82%, knowledge of menstrual hygiene products increased from 31% to 76%, understanding of the purpose of menstrual hygiene increased from 58% to 84%, and knowledge of proper menstrual hygiene practices increased from 31% to 92%. The high level of participant engagement and enthusiasm throughout the activities further reflected the effectiveness of the educational approach. In conclusion, health education delivered through presentations, discussions, and interactive question-and-answer sessions effectively enhanced adolescent girls’ knowledge and preparedness in maintaining menstrual hygiene during disaster situations.
