Abstract

Adolescence is a transition period from child to adult, where teenagers will experience puberty, namely physical and psychological changes. Therefore, the role of parents is very necessary regarding adolescent reproductive health to prevent and protect themselves from sexual behavior risks. This writing aims to increase knowledge of the role of parents regarding reproductive health. The education provided includes education about adolescent reproductive health and adolescent strategies for sexual behavior risk. The method used a 60-minute (lecture, question and answer session). Measurements were carried out using a questionnaire on the level of knowledge about reproductive health which was measured before and after providing education which consists of 20 questions. The sample for this service was 30 parents of teenagers at the Kaya Pangur Village Hall, Deleng District, Southeast Aceh Regency. The measurement results were analyzed using statistical tests, namely the Paired t-Test. The results showed that there was a difference in parents' knowledge scores about reproductive health before and after being given education about reproductive health (p-value = 0.000; α <0.05). Education about the role of parents regarding adolescent reproductive health plays a very important role for parents in knowing the progress of their adolescent child's development. Apart from that, the role of parents also plays a role in shaping the behavior of their children, especially health behavior related to reproductive health.

Abstract

Women’s reproductive health behavior is influenced not only by biological and social factors but also by psychological determinants such as body image and self-esteem. This study aimed to synthesize scientific evidence on the role of body image and self-esteem as psychological determinants of women’s reproductive health behavior. A narrative review design was used, with a literature search conducted in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar for articles published between 2014 and 2025. Studies were selected based on predefined criteria, including those involving women of reproductive age and examining the relationship between body image and/or self-esteem and reproductive or sexual health outcomes. The findings consistently indicated that positive body image and higher self-esteem were associated with better sexual function, greater sexual satisfaction, improved reproductive well-being, and healthier reproductive decision-making. Conversely, negative body image was linked to poorer psychological and sexual well-being. These results highlight the importance of integrating psychosocial interventions into reproductive health promotion to support women’s overall reproductive health outcomes.
