Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a transitional phase from childhood before entering adulthood. During this period, significant changes occur in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial growth and development. Psychological changes also take place in adolescents, such as changes in intellectual capacity, emotional life, and social life. These changes can lead to internal conflicts in adolescents, often resulting in strange or awkward behaviors. If not properly managed, these can lead to juvenile delinquency, including risky sexual behaviors. Many problems may arise from neglecting reproductive health. One of the factors that affects adolescent reproductive health is the confusing information children and adolescents receive about the functions and processes of reproduction. This study aims to analyze the relationship between adolescents' knowledge and attitudes about reproductive health and their use of information media. Methods: This research is an analytical study with a cross-sectional design. A total of 38 respondents were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using the Fisher Exact test. Results: The results showed a relationship between knowledge of reproductive health and the use of information media, with the Fisher Exact test yielding a p-value of 0.027, which is greater than α (0.05). Similarly, there was a relationship between attitudes toward reproductive health and the use of information media, with the Fisher Exact test also yielding a p-value of 0.027, which is greater than α (0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion, there is a relationship between knowledge and attitudes about reproductive health and the use of information media.

Abstract

Hypertension is a global health problem that contributes significantly to increased morbidity and mortality rates due to cardiovascular disease. Dietary factors, such as high consumption of salt, saturated fat, and processed foods, are the main causes of increased risk of hypertension in the community. This community service activity aimed to increase knowledge, awareness, and preventive behavior regarding hypertension through counseling and blood pressure checks for mothers who play an important role in determining their families' dietary patterns. The activity methods included interactive lectures, question and answer sessions, blood pressure checks, and pre-test and post-test evaluations of 40 participants. The results of the activity showed an average increase in knowledge of 30.1% after the counseling, with 60% of participants having normal blood pressure and 15% showing mild hypertension. In addition to increased knowledge, there was a positive change in attitude, with more than 80% of participants committing to improving their diet and conducting regular blood pressure checks. This activity proved effective in improving health literacy and awareness of hypertension prevention at the household level. In the long term, this activity is expected to create a community of mothers who are aware of hypertension and act as agents of change in creating healthy families.
