Abstract

Women’s reproductive health is a particularly vulnerable aspect of well-being in disaster situations, making maternal preparedness essential for minimizing health risks. This study aims to analyze the relationship between mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward reproductive health preparedness in disaster situations in East Polongbangkeng District, Takalar Regency, 2026. A quantitative observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. A total of 117 mothers were recruited as respondents based on established inclusion criteria. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses using the chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge (82.1%), good attitudes (94.0%), and good preparedness (78.6%). Statistically significant associations were found between mothers’ knowledge and reproductive health preparedness (p = 0.003), and between mothers’ attitudes and reproductive health preparedness (p = 0.037). It is concluded that better maternal knowledge and attitudes are associated with better reproductive health preparedness in disaster situations. Health centers and healthcare workers are recommended to strengthen community-based reproductive health preparedness education and promotion in disaster-prone areas.

Abstract

Adolescent girls' reproductive health remains a critical public health issue, particularly in communities with limited access to information and services. Low literacy regarding menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and reproductive hygiene makes adolescent girls vulnerable to misconceptions and inappropriate health-seeking behavior. Socio-cultural stigma further compounds the problem, preventing open discussion on reproductive health topics. This community service program aimed to empower health cadres at Puskesmas Panambungan, Makassar, as educators in adolescent reproductive health through structured short-course training and participatory extension activities. The program was conducted from May 5–10, 2025, involving 30 active cadres. Methods included cadre capacity building through lectures, interactive discussions using PowerPoint and leaflet media, as well as pre-test and post-test evaluation. Results showed a 65% increase in cadre knowledge after the intervention. Participants were actively engaged, asking questions and sharing personal experiences related to menstruation and reproductive hygiene. Cadres demonstrated their readiness to serve as facilitators and motivators for adolescent girls in their communities. These findings confirm that structured cadre mentoring combining participatory approaches and visual media is an effective strategy for improving adolescent reproductive health literacy in resource-limited settings.
