Abstract

Sexual violence among adolescents persists as a significant public health concern, particularly in rural areas with limited access to information. Insufficient adolescent knowledge regarding the definition, forms, and prevention of sexual violence increases the risk of victimization or perpetration. This community service program sought to enhance adolescents’ knowledge of sexual violence prevention through a structured health education intervention. Forty adolescent members of a karang taruna youth organization in Wonorejo Village participated in the program, which incorporated lectures, group discussions, and simulations. Knowledge acquisition was evaluated using pre-test and post-test questionnaires. Initial assessments indicated that most participants possessed low knowledge, with only 12.5% achieving a high level. Following the intervention, 62.5% of adolescents attained the high-knowledge category, and none remained in the low-knowledge category. These results indicate the effectiveness of community-based educational strategies in addressing information deficits at the village level. The findings align with existing literature that underscores the value of comprehensive sexual education in preventing sexual violence among adolescents. The intervention also fostered greater openness among adolescents in discussing sensitive topics and increased their willingness to report experiences or observations of violence. Sustainable implementation of this program is recommended, involving parents, teachers, and community leaders as agents of change. The outcomes of this initiative may serve as a pilot model for sexual violence prevention education in adolescent communities within similar contexts.

Abstract

Background: New students frequently encounter communication challenges as they adjust to the campus environment, which can affect their learning process and social interactions. Assertive communication training is one effective strategy to enhance students’ communication skills. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of assertive communication training in improving the communication skills of new students within the campus setting. Methods: The study was conducted by providing an assertive communication orientation to 175 nursing students. Data were collected using pretest and posttest assessments to measure changes in students’ knowledge of assertive communication. Results: The pretest results showed that 35 students (25%) had low knowledge, and only 15 students (8.5%) demonstrated high knowledge of assertive communication. After the training, none of the students remained in the low knowledge category; 88 students (50.3%) had high knowledge, and 87 students (49.7%) had moderate knowledge. Conclusion: Assertive communication training is effective in enhancing the knowledge and communication skills of new students. These findings can serve as a basis for developing soft skills training programs to support students’ adaptation to the higher education environment.
