Abstract

Adolescence is a transitional period of physical and mental development that is vulnerable to risky sexual behavior due to a lack of understanding regarding reproductive health. Religious institutions, such as the Child and Youth Fellowship (PAR), have a strategic role as a health education medium based on moral values. This study aims to analyze the level of knowledge and attitudes of adolescents toward reproductive health at PAR Marthen Luther Church, Sentani. This research is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all members of PAR Marthen Luther Church, Sentani, using a total sampling technique with 38 respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Knowledge assessment criteria were categorized into good (76-100%), moderate (60-75%), and poor (<60%), which were then analyzed univariately. The results showed that respondents' knowledge level was in the Good category in the aspects of understanding reproductive health (100%), reproductive organs (80%), fertile period and pregnancy (100%), maintenance of reproductive organs (80%), reproductive health problems (78%), sexual growth and development (75%), as well as menstruation and wet dreams (75%). However, the Moderate category was found in the aspects of adolescent nutrition (72%) and access to information (66.7%). Regarding attitudes, respondents showed positive results with an average achievement of 82%, where 97.4% of respondents supported the church as a place for reproductive health discussions. In general, respondents possess a good level of knowledge and attitudes, yet their understanding of how to access health information and nutrition still needs to be improved. This support indicates the importance of collaboration between health programs and the Child and Youth Fellowship to enhance the understanding of reproductive health.

Abstract

Handwashing with soap is one of the most effective public health measures for preventing gastrointestinal and respiratory infections among children. However, despite ongoing health education efforts, many children still do not perform proper handwashing techniques. Interactive educational approaches, such as demonstration methods combined with songs, may enhance children's practical skills more effectively than conventional instruction. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using a demonstration method on handwashing with soap skills among children in the BTN AL community, Entrop Subdistrict, South Jayapura District. A quantitative study with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design was conducted involving 20 child participants selected through total sampling. The intervention consisted of a live demonstration of the WHO six-step handwashing technique accompanied by a modified version of the children's song Naik Becak. Participants' handwashing skills were assessed before and after the intervention using the WHO Standard Hand Hygiene Observation Checklist. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in children's handwashing skills following the intervention. Before receiving health education, most participants were unable to perform the recommended handwashing procedure correctly. After the intervention, 18 participants (90%) successfully demonstrated all six handwashing steps independently, while only two participants (10%) still required assistance. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.001). The study concludes that health education delivered through a demonstration method combined with a modified children's song effectively improves handwashing with soap skills among children. This approach may serve as an innovative and engaging strategy for promoting healthy hygiene behaviors in early childhood.
