Abstract

Background: Menstruation is a natural phenomenon that occurs in all women. However, it can result in various physical and psychological issues, including elevated stress levels. Inadequate management of menstrual hygiene has been demonstrated to result in reproductive health complications. Recently, the popularity of menstrual tracking applications such as the OKY App has increased, with these applications assisting women in the monitoring of their menstrual cycles. However, it is evident that a significant proportion of adolescents, including those enrolled at State Junior High School (SMPN) 30 Surabaya, have not yet adopted this application. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, observability, and knowledge with the decision and implementation of using the OKY App at SMPN 30 Surabaya.Method: The present research employed a quantitative methodology, adopting a cross-sectional approach and an explanatory research design. The population under study comprised students in 7th and 8th grade at SMPN 30 Surabaya. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 70 respondents. The data was collected via a questionnaire that encompassed a range of variables, including relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, observability, knowledge, decision, and implementation.Result: The findings indicated that relative advantage exhibited no correlation with the decision-making process concerning the utilization of the OKY App. Complexity was related to the decision to use the app but not to its implementation. Therefore, this variable needs to be considered to ensure the app is more easily accepted by potential users. In conclusion, compatibility, trialability, observability, and knowledge are significantly related to both the decision and implementation of using the OKY App. Relative advantage has no impact on either decision or implementation, while complexity only influences the decision-making process but not the actual use of the app. The findings emphasize the significance of addressing user perceptions and understanding in order to enhance the adoption and sustained utilization of menstrual health technology.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescents experience significant physical changes during puberty; however, many lack adequate knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene management. This knowledge gap can lead to negative health outcomes. The OKY application is a menstrual tracker that also provides an encyclopedia on puberty and menstrual hygiene, and offers valuable educational resources. Despite its potential, the application remains underutilized by adolescents. This study aims to analyze the relationship between technology acceptance variables and the use of the OKY application among junior high school students. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 72 female junior high school students who had been introduced to the OKY application. Participants were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was utilized to assess user perceptions through a structured questionnaire. TAM was utilized innovatively to assess students' perceptions of the application's ease of use, usefulness, and intention to use through a structured questionnaire specifically tailored for this educational setting. Data analysis was conducted using the Spearman correlation test to evaluate relationships among variables. Instrument validation and ethical approval were secured in accordance with research ethics guidelines. Result: The study revealed a strong correlation between knowledge, skill, and curiosity with perceived usefulness of the OKY application. Furthermore, significant relationships were identified between perceived ease of use, attitude toward using, behavioral intention, and actual system use. These findings indicate that both cognitive and affective factors influence the adoption of the application. Conclusion: To enhance the adoption and effective use of the OKY application for menstrual hygiene management, it is recommended to strengthen socialization initiatives and implement peer counseling programs. Such interventions may support increased awareness, acceptance, and consistent use of the application among adolescents.
