Abstract

Introduction: Fluor albus (vaginal discharge) affects approximately 50% of the female population across almost all age groups. In Indonesia, over 75% of women experience fluor albus at least once in their lifetime. This high prevalence is associated with the country’s humid climate, which facilitates the growth of pathogenic fungi and bacteria. Objective: To identify the factors associated with adolescent girls’ knowledge regarding fluor albus. Method: This study employed a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. Results and Discussion: Of the respondents, 122 adolescent girls (61.0%) demonstrated low knowledge of fluor albus, while 78 (39.0%) showed a high level of knowledge. Bivariate analysis revealed that personal hygiene (p = 0.003), sources of information (p = 0.005), and environmental factors (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with knowledge levels regarding fluor albus. These three variables were identified as significant factors influencing adolescent girls' knowledge. The findings suggest that improving adolescent knowledge requires: (1) enhancement of personal hygiene practices, (2) increased access to accurate and reliable information through various media, and (3) supportive family and social environments. Conclusion: Health education interventions targeting adolescents should adopt a holistic approach, encompassing improvements in personal hygiene, facilitation of access to health information, and the creation of supportive environments.

Abstract

Background: Premarital teenage pregnancy is a global phenomenon that has significant physical, psychological, and educational impacts. This study was conducted to explore the situation faced by teenagers who experienced pregnancy before marriage and consequently dropped out of school. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the experiences, challenges, and impacts faced by premarital pregnant teenagers who drop out of school. Methods: This study employed an exploratory qualitative design using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Participants included 20 pregnant teenagers, triangulated with 4 school teachers and 4 midwives. The study was conducted in Bekasi Regency from July to October 2024. Semi-structured interviews were carried out using a voice recorder, and the data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s Method. Results: The findings revealed five main themes: (1) unwanted pregnancy, (2) the effect of pregnancy on education, (3) support and discrimination, (4) physical and emotional impact, and (5) self-acceptance. Conclusion: This study shows that premarital teenage pregnancy leading to school dropout results in stigma, social pressure, educational disruption, and mental health challenges. Addressing this issue requires collaboration between the government, educational institutions, and the community by improving access to healthcare services and psychological counseling to support pregnant teenagers in continuing their education. Novelty: This study provides new insights into the lived experiences of premarital pregnant teenagers who drop out of school in an Indonesian context an area rarely explored in existing literature. Unlike most previous studies focusing on health outcomes, this research highlights the intersection between pregnancy, educational discontinuation, and psychosocial adjustment, offering culturally grounded evidence for designing inclusive school re-entry and adolescent reproductive health policies.
