Abstract

This research aimed to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding traditional herbs and spices consumption among Malaysian adults aged 18 to 60 years. A- 5-parts close-ended questionnaire was partially adapted and modified from articles and validated by 11 experts. Data collection was performed by using an online questionnaire (n=281). Most participants are female (75.4%) and Malay (85.1%), followed by Chinese (10.0%), Indian (2.1%), and other ethnicities (2.8%) such as Sabah natives, Iban, Dusun, and Javanese. Most respondents consumed traditional herbs and spices. Centella asiatica ('pegaga'), ginseng, Labisia pumila ('kacip fatimah'), and longjack ('tongkat ali') were the most consumed herbs whereas lemongrass, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and star anise were the most consumed spices. The study found good knowledge, fair attitude, and poor practice regarding traditional herbs and spices consumption. Knowledge was significantly associated with ethnicity, while consumption status was associated with attitude and practice levels. A moderate and positive correlation was observed between attitudes and practices. Enhancing public knowledge and promoting positive attitudes towards these traditional ingredients is essential for preserving cultural heritage and incorporating them into modern diets.

Abstract

Health education is an effective way to increase teenagers' knowledge about reproductive health and sexually transmitted diseases. Teenagers' permissive attitude toward unrestricted sexual conduct is backed by their low awareness about adolescent reproductive health. This article aims to determine educational programs in preventing sexually transmitted diseases. This article uses qualitative methods through a literature review approach. The data in this research are articles from Google Scholar sourced from journals published in 2022 and 2023, with the authors from Indonesia and Malaysia. The results found that many teenagers were sexually active, although not always of their own free will. In some developing countries, about half of them are married. Irresponsible early sexual activity puts teenagers at risk of various reproductive health education challenges. The conclusion is based on the results of the analysis of this literature review. Adolescents' awareness of the dangers of unsafe sexual behavior has increased, indicating the effectiveness of preventive messages. The education program has succeeded in involving the community, including parents, teachers, and other interested parties, in supporting efforts to prevent sexually transmitted diseases among adolescents. The contribution of this research is to provide an overview of the educational programs in preventing sexually transmitted diseases and provide information on the evil influence of sexually transmitted diseases on adolescents.
