Abstract

Reproductive health issues throughout a woman's life cycle are diverse and complex. One common problem faced by women always is vaginal discharge. Vaginal discharge can cause itching, unpleasant odor, pain, and discomfort. This issue must be carefully monitored if it recurs, as it can lead to infertility and cancer. The research aims to determine the effectiveness of green betel leaf decoction on vaginal discharge in adolescent girls at Al-Muhajirin Islamic Boarding School, Purwakarta Regency in 2024. The research design is a plan arranged so the researcher can obtain answers to the research questions. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, employing a one-group pretest-posttest format and a paired t-test. The paired t-test is appropriate because there is a single group measured twice, before and after treatment. The average vaginal discharge score in adolescents before administering green betel leaf decoction was 16.86, which decreased to 4.00 after treatment. The Wilcoxon test was used for statistical analysis, resulting in a p-value of 0.000. There was a significant effect before and after administration of green betel leaf decoction in reducing vaginal discharge among adolescent girls at Ma Miftahul Ulum Cikupa-Purwakarta in 2024. Out of 32 respondents, 21 experienced a decrease in vaginal discharge scores.

Abstract

As an effort to promote family planning, the government and health workers can provide comprehensive reproductive health services, including consultations about contraception, health checks, and contraceptive installation. Contraceptive education through counseling or lectures can be effective in increasing public understanding of various contraceptive methods, their benefits, and how to use them. Counseling or lectures enable the delivery of targeted and comprehensive information to individuals or groups. This study aimed to describe contraceptive education for women of childbearing age at the Pratama Lena Clinic, Purwakarta. This study is a descriptive observational research. The research location was at the Pratama Lena Clinic, Purwakarta, Indonesia. A total of 35 respondents took part in this study. The inclusion criteria for research subjects were women aged 19-35 years and willing to take part in this research. Most respondents were aged 26-30 years (65.7%), had a senior high school education (62.9%) and used injectable contraception (45.7%). Based on pre and post-assessment evaluations, there was an increase in knowledge about contraception by 50%. The increase in knowledge obtained by participants reflects that participants are able to accept the information received through health education. In conclusion, reproductive health and contraception education programs for women of childbearing age can increase knowledge and acceptance of contraceptive use.
