In this case, knowledge is the main component in shaping adolescent attitudes, inadequate knowledge will make adolescents tend to take the wrong attitude. Objective: The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between the knowledge and attitude of adolescent female students to physical changes during puberty. The research design was a cross-sectional study. Method: The study population was 104 and a sample of 51 adolescent female students was taken using the proportional stratified random sampling technique. Result and Discussion: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the knowledge of adolescent female students (p-value = 0.012), and attitudes of adolescent female students (p-value = 0.000) to physical changes during puberty. Conclusion: It was concluded that there was a significant relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent female students to physical changes during puberty.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to determine the effect of audio-visual health education media on knowledge retention and compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) use as a strategy to prevent occupational health risks among apple farmers in Kuala Pilah, Malaysia. Methodology: A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 20 apple farmers selected through total sampling. Data were collected at four time points: baseline (T0), immediately after intervention (T1), one week (T2), and two weeks (T3) post-intervention. Knowledge was measured using a structured questionnaire, while PPE compliance was assessed through observation and self-report. Repeated measures analysis and paired categorical tests were applied with a significance level of p < 0.05. Main Findings: The mean knowledge score increased from 56.4 at baseline to 82.7 immediately after the intervention, and remained significantly higher at 78.9 (week 1) and 74.6 (week 2) (p < 0.001). PPE compliance improved from 30.0% at baseline to 70.0% post-intervention and was maintained at 70–75% during follow-up (p < 0.05). Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides integrated evidence on both sustained knowledge retention and measurable behavioral compliance using repeated follow-up assessments in an agricultural occupational health context, demonstrating the effectiveness of audio-visual media beyond immediate learning outcomes.
