Abstract

The development of technology today greatly influences the behavioral patterns of adolescents. This is evidenced by the increasing adolescent health issues such as deviant sexual behavior, smoking habits, and alcohol consumption. The challenges faced by partners include limited access for adolescents to health services, limited mobility among adolescents which can lead to weight gain, a contributing factor to chronic diseases (Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus), and the lack of knowledge related to deviant behaviors in adolescence that affect their health. Additionally, there is a lack of available adolescent health information in schools. The method used in this activity was packaged in the form of games and role-plays, conducted face-to-face once a week over two weeks at two schools/partners. The results showed an increase in knowledge, with over 90% of adolescents being able to understand and explain non-communicable diseases in simple terms, including their definition, causes, and prevention. Therefore, schools need to integrate health literacy into the curriculum to ensure that all students have equal access to important health information. Furthermore, parents and the community play a key role in supporting healthy behavioral changes in adolescents Berkembangnya teknologi di saat ini sangat mempengaruhi pola perilaku dari remaja tersebut. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan terus meningkatnya masalah kesehatan remaja seperti perilaku seksual menyimpang, kebiasaan merokok, alkohol. Permasalahan mitra yang dijumpai adalah minimnya keterjangkauan remaja untuk mencapai layanan kesehatan, minimnya mobilisasi remaja sehingga dapat berdampak pada penambahan berat badan yang menjadi salah satu faktor penyumbang masalah penyakit kronis (Hipertensi, Diabetes Melitus), minimnya pengetahuan berkaitan dengan perilaku menyimpang pada usia remaja yang berkaitan dengan kesehatan remaja serta tidak tersediannya informasi Kesehatan Remaja di Sekolah. Metode yang digunakan pada pelaksanaan kegiatan ini dikemas dalam bentuk permainan dan role-play dengan tatap muka 1x selama 2 minggu pelaksanaan pada kedua sekolah/mitra. Hasil kegiatan yang dilakukan adalah menemukan peningkatan pengetahuan pada remaja > 90% mengetahui dan mampu menjelaskan tentang penyakit tidak menular secara sederhana berkaitan dengan pengertian, penyebab dan tentang pencegahannya. Oleh karena itu, sekolah perlu mengintegrasikan literasi kesehatan ke dalam kurikulum untuk memastikan semua siswa memiliki akses yang sama terhadap informasi kesehatan yang penting. Selain itu, Orang tua dan komunitas berperan penting dalam mendukung perubahan perilaku sehat pada remaja

Abstract

The health of adolescents is intricately linked to their adaptation process during the period of growth and development. When adolescents lack sufficient coping skills or are bewildered by these changes, it can have detrimental effects on their health. One of the main issues impacting adolescent health is pornography and sexual activities, including kissing, masturbation, and sexual intercourse. The objective of this study is to describe pornography addiction, self-control, and their relationship with adolescent dating behaviour in the city of Manado, Indonesia. The research targets adolescents in the Manado region, based on inclusion criteria that include those aged 10-19 years who are unmarried, with a sample size of 230 respondents clustered by region. The method used in this research is a cross-sectional design, involving the direct distribution of questionnaires to prospective respondents. The questionnaires consist of the Pornography Addiction Screening Tool, Brief Self-Control, and Dating Behaviour. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis, using the chi-square test. The results of this study showed that the level of normal pornography addiction 96.5%, risk of addiction 2.6%, vulnerable to addiction 0.9%, and addiction 0%. Bivariate analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between pornography addiction, self-control, and dating behaviour with a p-value of <0.05. The contribution of the results of this research to the field of community health, can serve as foundational data to support ongoing health promotion efforts. This includes the development of technology, as well as the strengthening of policies and adolescent health programs in schools and community health centres.

Abstract

Abstrak Kesehatan reproduksi remaja merupakan aspek penting yang berpengaruh pada kualitas hidup dan perkembangan masa depan. Rendahnya pemahaman serta kurangnya kepercayaan diri remaja dalam mengambil keputusan sehat seringkali menjadi faktor pemicu terjadinya perilaku berisiko hal ini diakibatkan karena minimnya keterjangkauan remaja untuk mencapai layanan kesehatan, Terbatasnya pengetahuan serta pengaruh budaya Tabuh orang tua dalam memberikan pengetahuan tentang Kesehatan Reproduksi. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan self-efficacy remaja dalam mengelola kesehatan reproduksi melalui pelatihan berbasis edukasi interaktif, diskusi kelompok, studi kasus, dan simulasi role play. Program ini diikuti oleh remaja usia 15–19 tahun sejumlah 50 orang dan menggunakan desain pre–post test untuk menilai perubahan pengetahuan dan keyakinan diri. Hasil post-test menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan (86%) pada pengetahuan dan keyakinan diri (82%).

Program ini direkomendasikan untuk diimplementasikan secara berkelanjutan melalui kerja sama sekolah, keluarga, dan komunitas guna memastikan perubahan perilaku yang lebih konsisten dan jangka panjang. Kata kunci: kesehatan reproduksi; remaja; self-efficacy. AbstractAdolescent reproductive health is a critical determinant of quality of life and future development. Limited understanding and low self-confidence in making healthy decisions often predispose adolescents to engage in risk-taking behaviors. These challenges are exacerbated by inadequate access to youth-friendly health services, insufficient knowledge, and persistent cultural taboos that hinder parents from providing comprehensive reproductive health education. This Community Service Program (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PKM) aimed to enhance adolescents’ self-efficacy in managing reproductive health through an educational intervention incorporating interactive learning, group discussions, case studies, and role-play simulations. The program involved 50 adolescents aged 15–19 years and employed a pre–post test design to assess changes in knowledge and self-efficacy. Post-test results demonstrated a substantial improvement in participants’ knowledge (86%) and self-efficacy (82%). Participants also exhibited high levels of active engagement throughout the sessions, indicating enhanced assertive communication skills and improved capacity to manage peer pressure. These findings suggest that the training was effective in strengthening adolescents’ self-efficacy and holds promise as a preventive strategy to reduce reproductive health–related risk behaviors. Sustained implementation through collaborative efforts among schools, families, and community stakeholders is recommended to support consistent and long-term behavioral change. Keywords: reproductive health; adolescents; self-efficacy

Abstract

Preschool-aged children are vulnerable to sexual violence due to limited knowledge of sexual concepts, body autonomy, and personal boundaries. Early sex education is essential to strengthen children’s protective knowledge and help-seeking behaviors. In Indonesia, however, sex education for early childhood is often constrained by social taboos, limited teacher training, and insufficient instructional resources. Teachers play a central role in delivering age-appropriate sex education in schools, yet their perceptions and experiences remain underexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to explore kindergarten teachers' perceptions of sex education for preschool-aged children, including their understanding of sex education concepts, implementation challenges, and expectations for effective delivery. A qualitative study using a descriptive-phenomenological approach was conducted from August to September 2024 in Manado City. Purposive sampling was employed to recruit 15 kindergarten teachers as main informants and 7 preschool-aged children as supporting informants for data triangulation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically. Two main themes emerged: (1) sex education for preschool-aged children and (2) challenges and expectations of teachers in conducting sex education. Teachers generally understood sex education as teaching body autonomy, private body parts, gender identity, and safe versus unsafe touch. However, perceptions differed regarding the appropriate age to introduce sex education and whether girls should receive greater emphasis than boys. Children's growth, attention spans, training, and teaching medium were challenges. Teachers stressed interactive methods and engagement with parents, health workers, and government agencies. Early childhood sex education is heavily influenced by teachers' expertise, challenges, and expectations. Effective and sustainable early sex education requires teacher competency, age-appropriate resources, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.

The PERISAI Programme (Combatting the Risk of Adolescent Free Sex) was initiated as a web-based urban health promotion model aimed at strengthening adolescents’ knowledge, awareness, and self-efficacy in preventing risky sexual behaviour. This Community Service Programme employed interactive digital education, online discussions, case-based learning, and web-based simulations as core intervention strategies. The programme involved adolescents aged 15–19 years and applied a pre–post test design to evaluate changes in reproductive health knowledge and self-efficacy. The findings revealed a significant improvement in participants’ understanding of reproductive health, risk perception, and confidence in establishing personal boundaries and making safe decisions. High levels of participant engagement throughout the web-based activities also indicated enhanced assertive communication skills and improved capacity to manage peer pressure. The initiation of the PERISAI Programme demonstrates that a web-based health promotion model is effective as a preventive strategy for reducing risky sexual behaviour among urban adolescents. Sustainable implementation through collaboration with schools, families, and community stakeholders is recommended to ensure long-term behavioural change.Keywords: Perisai; Health Promotion; Free Seks; Web-Based.

Abstract

Background: The prevalence of risky sexual behavior among adolescents has become a global challenge, contributing to rising rates of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Multiple factors shape the occurrence and consequences of adolescent sexual behavior. Objective: This study aimed to identify the prevalence and determinants of risky sexual behavior among adolescents. Method: This community-based, cross-sectional study involved 692 adolescents from 15 subdistricts in Manado City, Indonesia. A multistage random sampling method was used. The study included questions on demographic data, knowledge, self-esteem, peer influence, and risky sexual behavior. Data analysis in this study used the chi-square (χ²) test, and hierarchical logistic regression was also conducted to identify factors influencing risky sexual behavior among adolescents. Results: The findings indicate that 32.7% of individuals engaged in risky sexual behaviors. A statistically significant correlation (p<0.05) was observed between risky behavior and variables such as age, gender, access to sexual information, exposure to pornographic films, and peer influence. The most significant predictors of risky sexual behavior included age (OR=1.982, p=0.001) and peer influence (OR=2.883, p=0.01). Conversely, access to sexual information (OR= 3.556, p=0.043 and family size (OR=1.583, p=0.048) were identified as key factors associated with protective behavior. Conclusion: Peer influence, age, and exposure to pornographic films are strongly associated with risky sexual behavior among adolescents and should be carefully considered in developing public health interventions. Moreover, future research should investigate parental perspectives on adolescent risky sexual behavior through qualitative approaches that integrate local cultural values to strengthen evidence-based interventions.
