Abstract

Malnutrition among adolescents is a crucial public health problem and tends to cause serious problems in the next generation, one of which is commonly called stunting. Adolescents As agents of change and prospective parents, adolescents play an important role in stunting prevention. The involvement of adolescents can be one of the important factors in breaking the stunting cycle. This study aims to exxplore deeper into the role of adolescents in stunting prevention efforts. Qualitative research with a phenomenological approach is used in this study. The selection of informants uses purposive sampling. There were 8 adolescent girls as the main informants and one health center nutrition officer as a supporting informant. Data obtaining uses in-depth interviews with an average interview duration of 30-40 minutes. Data analysis uses thematic analysis. There are two themes with four sub-themes, namely the role of adolescents in stunting prevention efforts (three sub-themes: clean and healthy living behavior; adolescent compliance with consuming blood-boosting tablets; adolescent involvement in health activities) and obstacles in stunting prevention efforts (one sub-theme: lack of adolescent knowledge about stunting).Lack of knowledge about stunting among the adolescents in Adow Health Center causes adolescents reluctant to play an active role in preventing stunting issues. An interesting finding is that although adolescents lack knowledge about stunting, they are not interested in seeking information about stunting. Therefore, the development of digital educational content about stunting, especially through social media platforms, is expected to attract the interest of adolescents to increase their knowledge and role in stunting prevention. Further research needs to be carried out, especially on how adolescents use social media to share information and build awareness about stunting issues among their peers.

Abstract

Background: Modern contraception is one of the key strategies in controlling birth rates and improving reproductive health, particularly in developing countries. However, its use still faces various barriers influenced by sociocultural factors. Objective: This study aims to provide an overview of the sociocultural factors influencing the use of modern contraception in developing countries. Methods: This scoping review utilized the PRISMA-ScR checklist, the PCC framework, and the Critical Appraisal assessment. Data were obtained from the PubMed, Wiley Online Library, and the Science Direct databases. Results: A total of 174 relevant articles were identified, but only seven met the inclusion criteria. Key findings included sociocultural factors influencing the use of modern contraception and the effectiveness of its use. Conclusion: This review highlights that sociocultural dynamics, particularly gender norms, religious beliefs, and community perceptions, remain key determinants of modern contraceptive use in developing countries. Strengthening culturally sensitive counseling, engaging male and spiritual leaders, and utilizing digital health platforms are crucial to enhancing uptake and sustaining progress toward universal reproductive health goals.

Abstract

The high prevalence of adolescent pregnancy in Timor-Leste reflects vulnerabilities in adolescents’ reproductive health, particularly limited knowledge and unfavorable attitudes toward sexuality, which increase engagement in premarital sexual behavior and the risk of unintended pregnancy. However, empirical evidence explaining the role of reproductive health status in linking these outcomes, as well as the effectiveness of video-based reproductive health education in low-resource settings, remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of video-based reproductive health education in improving knowledge and attitudes toward teenage pregnancy among female adolescents. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted among 96 female students aged 17–18 years at ESGP de Suai, Covalima, Timor-Leste, selected through simple random sampling. The intervention consisted of a 15 minute reproductive health education video addressing adolescent pregnancy, related risks, and prevention strategies. Knowledge (20 items) and attitudes (10 items) were measured using a validated questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.679 and 0.520, respectively). Effectiveness was defined as a statistically significant improvement in post-intervention knowledge and attitude scores. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann–Whitney U test. Significant improvements were observed in knowledge (Z = −8.526; p < 0.001) and attitudes (Z = −8.532; p < 0.001) after the intervention. No significant difference was found between the magnitude of improvement in knowledge and attitudes (p = 0.850). Video based reproductive health education effectively improves adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes toward teenage pregnancy and represents a feasible intervention for adolescent reproductive health promotion in resource-limited settings.
