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

Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual disorder among adolescents, characterized by lower abdominal pain occurring before or during menstruation. Limited knowledge about dysmenorrhea among young women in rural areas often leads to inadequate management and disruption of daily activities. This community service program aimed to improve adolescent girls' knowledge regarding dysmenorrhea—including its definition, causes, prevention, and treatment—in Pucak Village, Tompobulu District, Maros Regency. The activity was conducted on January 13–17, 2025, involving 27 adolescent girls as participants. Methods consisted of health education using lectures and question-and-answer sessions, supported by leaflets. Pre- and post-test assessments were used to measure knowledge improvement. The results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge: before the intervention, only 30% of participants had adequate knowledge about dysmenorrhea, its causes, prevention, and treatment; after the mentoring program, this proportion increased to 90%. The program was well-supported by local government officials, community leaders, and health center staff. The activity demonstrated that structured health education delivered through community mentoring is effective in improving reproductive health literacy among adolescent girls.

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.

Abstract

Adolescents are in a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, making them vulnerable to reproductive health problems such as early marriage, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and sexual abuse due to limited knowledge and social norms that restrict open discussion. This community service program aimed to improve adolescent girls' knowledge of reproductive health indicators—including understanding of reproductive organs, puberty, menstruation, early marriage risks, and STI prevention—in Bulukunyi Village, Polongbangkeng Selatan District, Takalar Regency. The activity was conducted on May 5–9, 2025, involving 20 adolescent girls as participants. Methods consisted of health education through lectures and question-and-answer sessions supported by leaflets, along with blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol screening for the broader community. Pre- and post-test assessments were used to evaluate knowledge improvement. Results showed a significant increase: before the intervention, only 25% of participants had adequate knowledge of reproductive health indicators, which increased to 78% after the mentoring program. The program received strong support from local government officials, community leaders, and health workers. These findings confirm that structured health education through community mentoring is effective in improving reproductive health literacy among adolescent girls in rural areas
