<![CDATA[Marriage before reaching reproductive maturity (<20 years) poses a risk to reproductive health due to the prospective spouses’ limited knowledge of contraceptives; therefore, effective educational media such as videos are required. This study aims to analyse the effect of educational videos introducing contraceptive methods on the knowledge of female adolescent prospective brides marrying before reaching reproductive maturity at the Office of Religious Affairs in Kediri Regency. This study employed a pre-experimental, single-group, pre-test-post-test design involving 41 adolescent prospective brides at the Offices of Religious Affairs in the sub-districts of Ngancar, Mojo and Wates, selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a Guttman-scale knowledge questionnaire and analysed using a Paired Sample T-Test. The results showed that the average knowledge score increased from 9.4634 (pre-test) to 12.3415 (post-test), with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05); consequently, H0 was rejected and Ha accepted. Prior to the intervention, the majority of respondents fell into the ‘poor knowledge’ category (70.7%), whilst after the intervention, the proportion in the ‘good’ category rose to 31.7%. These results indicate that educational video media has a significant effect on improving the knowledge of teenage prospective brides regarding contraceptives, and can therefore serve as an alternative medium for premarital education at the Office of Religious Affairs.]]>
