<![CDATA[The final years of elementary school mark a crucial phase in child development—specifically for fifth and sixth graders—as children begin to enter puberty, a period characterized by physical, biological, emotional, and social changes. A lack of understanding regarding puberty can lead to anxiety, confusion, and poor hygiene practices among elementary students, thereby hindering psychosocial adaptation. Such ignorance can result in poor hygiene habits, emotional discomfort, and even health risks. This study aimed to determine the impact of puberty-related health education on the knowledge levels of fifth and sixth-grade students at SD Islam Puspa Bangsa. A quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The study population consisted of 35 fifth and sixth-grade students, and total sampling was used. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using both univariate and bivariate methods (specifically, the wilcoxon). The wilcoxon yielded a p-value of <0.000, indicating a significant effect of puberty health education on the knowledge of fifth and sixth-grade students at SD Islam Puspa Bangsa.]]>
