Abstract

Background: Obesity is the accumulation of excessive fat in adipose tissue that can cause health problems among adolescents; untreated obesity can impact their psychological well-being. Obesity affects the psychological development of adolescents. The psychological issues that arise include self-esteem disorders related to their perception of their appearance. Issues with self- esteem lead to feelings of dissatisfaction with oneself, low self-confidence, feelings of being distanced by peers, and even depression. Subject and Method: This study is observational with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consists of 56 female adolescents in the twelfth grade at MAN 1 Banda Aceh, using a total sampling technique. Data analysis employed the chi-square test. Result: The research findings indicate that 29 individuals (56.8%) of female adolescents experience obesity I (BMI 25-29.9) and have low self-esteem. Female adolescents with obesity II exhibit low self-esteem in 5 cases (100%). A significant relationship exists between obesity and self-esteem among the twelfth-grade female adolescents at MAN 1 Banda Aceh, with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.005). Conclusion: Obesity causes a decrease in self-esteem among the twelfth-grade female adolescents at MAN 1 Banda Aceh.

Abstract

Adolescent reproductive health remains a major public health concern, particularly in developing countries where access to accurate information is often limited. This study examined the association between smartphone utilization and reproductive health knowledge among female adolescents in Aceh Besar, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2025 involving 81 female students selected through proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using binary logistic regression. Overall, 72.8% of respondents used smartphones to access reproductive health information, and 55.6% had good reproductive health knowledge. Smartphone use for reproductive health information was significantly associated with good knowledge (OR = 2.98; 95% CI: 1.33-6.67; p = 0.001). Duration of smartphone use (p = 0.004) and social media platform (p = 0.006) were also significantly associated with knowledge. Smartphones may serve as effective channels for improving reproductive health knowledge among female adolescents, although causal relationships cannot be established due to the cross-sectional design.
