Abstract

Adolescents are highly susceptible to environmental influences, particularly those related to sexual behavior. Limited knowledge of reproductive health and strong peer pressure are among the major factors contributing to premarital sexual behavior. This study aimed to assess the relationship between knowledge and peer influence with premarital sexual behavior among adolescents at SMAN 10 Bengkulu City in 2025.Methods: A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. The sample consisted of 152 eleventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling from a population of 242 students. Data were collected using a structured and validated questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: The findings revealed that 66.4% of respondents had good knowledge about the risks of premarital sex, and 80.9% reported low levels of peer influence. A total of 76.3% demonstrated positive sexual behavior by avoiding premarital sex. Statistical analysis showed a significant association between knowledge and premarital sexual behavior (p = 0.021), whereas peer influence was not significantly associated (p = 0.228). Conclusion: Adolescent knowledge about reproductive health significantly contributes to safer sexual behavior, whereas peer influence was not a determining factor in this study. It is recommended that schools enhance reproductive health education through regular counseling programs, and that parents engage in open discussions regarding sexual health. Further research is encouraged to examine other factors such as digital media exposure and parenting styles.

Abstract

Intoduction: To achieve the MDGs, midwives are at the forefront of maternal and child health services in the community and are required to consistently provide the best and highest quality care. Research by the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that 70-80% of errors in healthcare are caused by poor communication and a lack of understanding among healthcare team members. Effective communication between medical and non-medical healthcare teams can reduce patient safety issues (WHO, 2021). Method: This research used an analytical cross-sectional design. It was conducted at the Cecar Community Health Center in December 2025. The sample consisted of 76 pregnant women, selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result and Discussion: The results of the Chi Square statistical test show that there is a relationship between midwife communication and pregnant women's satisfaction with ANC services with a p value of 0.000. Conclusion: There is a relationship between midwife communication and pregnant women's satisfaction with ANC services at the Community Health Center. Researchers suggest that the Cecar Community Health Center should focus on improving the quality of ANC services not only on the technical aspects of pregnancy examinations, but also on improving midwives' communication skills through effective communication training, midwifery counseling, and the implementation of services that are oriented towards the needs of pregnant women.
