Abstract

Adolescent reproductive health requires critical attention due to the high prevalence of reproductive tract infections, such as pathological leukorrhea, which are frequently triggered by poor intimate hygiene. This issue is exacerbated by inadequate health literacy among adolescents, posing long-term health risks. This study aimed to analyze the association between reproductive health knowledge and vulvar hygiene practices among adolescent girls at a senior high school in Central Katingan, Indonesia. A quantitative, descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 110 respondents selected via simple random sampling. A structured questionnaire was used to measure knowledge and practices, followed by descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation. The results indicated that the majority of respondents demonstrated good knowledge (66.40%) and good vulvar hygiene practices (59.10%). Data analysis revealed a consistent positive association: students with strong knowledge generally exhibited adequate hygiene practices. However, a discrepancy was identified among a subset of respondents who possessed adequate knowledge but did not demonstrate ideal practices, suggesting potential barriers related to motivation or facility access. In conclusion, while knowledge serves as a fundamental basis for establishing preventive practices, interventions focusing solely on cognitive aspects are insufficient. This study recommends implementing holistic health education programs that integrate family support and utilize technology-based visual media. This approach ensures the sustainable internalization of hygiene values, thereby effectively reducing the risk of reproductive morbidity among adolescents.

Abstract

Early marriage in the rural areas of Central Kalimantan remains a persistent threat to the reproductive health and psychosocial stability of adolescents. This study aims to conduct a descriptive analysis of knowledge levels regarding early marriage risks among senior high school students in Pulang Pisau Regency, focusing on mapping respondents’ sociodemographic profiles. The study employed a quantitative descriptive design. Sampling was conducted using a purposive technique involving 70 respondents from a population of 174 students at SMAN 2 Kahayan Tengah. Primary data collection used a closed-ended questionnaire tested for validity and reliability, which was analyzed univariately using frequency distributions and percentages. The results showed that the majority of respondents possessed a knowledge level in the good category (52.86%). A good level of understanding was predominantly found among female adolescents (68.57%), respondents with parents having a higher education (83.33%), the family group with an income below the minimum wage threshold (55.10%), and respondents without a history of early marriage in their family structure (54.54%). Novel findings of this research revealed that non-mass media information channels relying on interpersonal communication interactions from teachers, health workers, and family were the most dominant and effective educational tools (58.06%). In conclusion, adolescents’ high cognitive ability serves as strong social capital. Family education levels and interpersonal communication played a much more significant role than economic income levels. As a policy implication, health promotion interventions in schools need to be revitalized by positioning educators and peer cadres as the primary drivers of early marriage prevention education.
