Abstract

Adolescence marks the starting point of the continuum of care in women's reproductive health, yet adolescent literacy on menstrual personal hygiene remains low and is further compounded by persistent menstruation-related myths. A preliminary assessment at SMAN 1 Seluma revealed that reproductive health education was rarely delivered, the school's adolescent information and counselling programme was not running optimally, and menstruation remained a taboo subject, discouraging students from asking questions. This community service activity aimed to improve students' knowledge of menstrual personal hygiene and to correct prevailing myths through a leaflet-based Body Myth Buster programme. The activity was conducted in April 2026 among 20 female students in grades X and XI aged 15–17 years. Methods comprised interactive lecture, group discussion, question-and-answer sessions, and a Myth or Fact educational game, supported by leaflet and PowerPoint media. Evaluation used pre-test and post-test instruments. Mean knowledge scores rose from 45.7 to 77.7, an increase of 32.0 points. Participants in the good knowledge category increased from 8 (40.0%) to 18 (90.0%), while those in the poor category declined from 12 (60.0%) to 2 (10.0%). The mean ability to distinguish myth from fact reached 90%. The leaflet-based Body Myth Buster programme proved effective and may be adopted as a routine promotive-preventive education model in schools..
