Abstract

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are diseases that can be transmitted through sexual intercourse with multiple partners, either vaginally, orally, or anally. Infected partners can also transmit STIs to their partners. In 2023, STI cases in Pontianak City will reach 220 cases. In Indonesia, young men and women aged 15 to 24 years have relatively low knowledge about STIs, and insufficient knowledge increases the risk of unsafe sexual behavior.This study aims to determine the correlation between the level of knowledge about STIs and behavior in preventing STI transmission. This research is quantitative using a correlational and cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used was total sampling with a population of 92 students of the Class of 2023 Nursing Study Program at Tanjungpura University. The instruments used 2 questionnaires, STI Knowledge and STI Transmission Prevention Behavior. The STI Knowledge questionnaire has a valid test value of 0.361 and a reliability test value of 0,767. In contrast, the STI Transmission Prevention Behavior questionnaire has a valid test value of 0,358 and a reliability test value of 0,777. The analytical method used is the Spearman Rank. The results that the correlation test showed a significant correlation between the level of STI knowledge and STI transmission prevention behavior with a Sig value (2-tailed), namely ρ = 0,039 and correlation coefficient. The positive correlation result was obtained, namely r = 0,216, meaning that the higher the level of STI knowledge, the higher the behavior to prevent STI transmission. It is hoped that this research will be able to change behavior related to STI prevention, starting by increasing knowledge of STIs. Good knowledge can be the basis for information to change behavior in preventing STIs so that good STI prevention behavior can occur. Future researchers are expected to be able to analyze environmental factors and information related to STI prevention or research related to the same topic but different subjects that are not health students. They can also compare health and non-health students' knowledge regarding STIs.

Abstract

Sexual violence is a traumatic event that often has a long-term impact on physical and mental condition. The existing research primarily focuses on the prevalence and general impacts of sexual violence however, there appears to be a paucity of research investigating the specific long-term effects of sexual violence on women. The aim of this literature review is to described the relation between sexual abuse and the risk of Chronic Illness. This study employs a thematic literature review methodology utilizing the Onwegbuzie & Frels Seven Step model, which is particularly suitable for qualitative research literature reviews; however, it is sufficiently flexible to be applied to other research paradigms. In this study, literature was selected incorporating both qualitative and quantitative studies. Journal articles were identified and selected through the EBSCO and SCOPUS web bases. Twenty papers were then selected according to the following criteria: study conducted on the topic of sexual violence and its effects on chronic illness and health. Due to the thematic methodology employed, articles were subjected to critical appraisal, with particular emphasis on the study's objectives and findings. Three major themes were concluded from the study: the tendency to develop high-risk behaviors; the occurrence of trauma and stress; and the presence of conditions with somatic and physical symptoms that lead to chronic disease. The themes resulting from this study show a link between sexual violence and its relationship with behavioral and lifestyle changes that ultimately have a physical impact.

Abstract

Menstrual hygiene is an essential aspect of maintaining the reproductive health of adolescent girls. However, a lack of awareness and limited access to sanitation facilities can increase the risk of reproductive tract infections. This study aims to describe the menstrual hygiene behavior of female students at Pondok Pesantren Raudlatul Mutaalimin Garut and identify areas that need improvement. This research used a descriptive quantitative design with a total sampling technique, involving 65 female students. Data were collected through a questionnaire covering aspects such as handwashing, bathing, sanitary pad usage, genital hygiene, physical activity, and nutritious food consumption. The data were analyzed using univariate analysis and presented in frequency distribution tables. The results showed that most students demonstrated good menstrual hygiene behavior, particularly in handwashing (93.8%), genital hygiene (89.2%), and regular bathing (81.5%). However, less optimal practices were found in proper sanitary pad usage (21.5%) and nutritious food consumption (41.5%). While most students practiced good menstrual hygiene, further education is needed to improve their understanding of proper sanitary pad usage and the importance of consuming nutritious food during menstruation to support optimal reproductive health. Further research is suggested to focus on the factors causing bad behavior and the development of educational interventions to improve menstrual hygiene of students.Keywords: Menstrual hygiene, behavior, adolescent girls, female students.

Abstract

Adolescence is a period where rapid growth and development occurs both physically, psychologically and intellectually. The typical characteristic of teenagers is that they have a great sense of curiosity, like adventure and challenges and tend to be brave enough to take risks in their actions without prior careful consideration. If a decision taken in dealing with a problem or conflict is not appropriate, then they will fall into risky behavior and may have to bear the short-term and long-term consequences of various physical and psychosocial health problems. The nature and risky behavior of adolescents requires the availability of caring adolescent health services that can meet the health needs of adolescents, including services for reproductive health. This research aims to explain and analyze the influence of the Sexuality Education Application on knowledge about adolescent sexuality. This type of research is quantitative research using the alternative Wilcoxon test for the intervention group and the Paired Samples t test for the control group. The population in this study was 4713 Unsri Indralaya students, so the sample taken was 448 respondents. Based on the research results, it was found that the p value was 0.000 or <0.05, which means there was a significant difference between knowledge of sexuality in adolescents before and after using the Sexuality Education Application in the intervention group, while in the control group the p value was 0.524 (α <0.05). which means that there is no significant difference between knowledge of sexuality in adolescents in the first and second measurements. This means that there is an influence of sex education using the Sexuality Education Application on increasing knowledge about sexuality in teenagers. Sexuality education through the Sexuality Education Application can increase knowledge and information about the importance of reproductive health and knowledge about sexuality in adolescents.

Abstract

A common menstrual disorder among adolescents is vulvar pruritus. The exact prevalence of vulvar pruritus is unknown, but previous studies have demonstrated that this occurrence is triggered by various factors. The focus of this study is to describe factors associated with the manifestation of vulvar pruritus in adolescents. The method used is article review by searching the Google Scholar and PubMed databases, combining the keywords "vulvar pruritus," "genital itch," "hygiene," "menstruation," and "reproductive health”. Criteria for articles published in the years 2019-2024 from reputable journals, available in full text and accessible, as well as researching factors related to vulvar pruritus or its symptoms. Research with non-adolescent samples and articles in the form of theses/repositories/case reports are excluded. A total of 74 articles were obtained and subsequently selected using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. The selected 9 articles were analyzed by reading thoroughly and extracting relevant information. The analysis of the article indicated that the factors significantly related to the occurrence of vulvar pruritus in adolescents are knowledge about hygiene during menstruation and hygiene practices during menstruation. In the conclusion, the most influential factor is hygiene behavior during menstruation. Further studies are expected to expand the scope of other risk factors that may also have a correlation with the manifestation of vulvar pruritus in adolescents.

Abstract

Adolescent unwanted pregnancies can adversely affect individuals both physically and psychologically.  This study seeks to discover factors influencing the incidence of unintended pregnancies among adolescents during the past five years.  The research employed a scoping review methodology using the six-stage approach established by Arskey and O'Malley, utilising article searches in the Garuda, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases.  The inclusion criteria encompassed works from quantitative or qualitative research addressing the determinants of premarital pregnancy among teenagers aged 10–19 years, published in Indonesian or English between 2020 and 2024.  The review identified nine articles from South America, East Africa, South Africa, and Indonesia.  Seven primary factors contribute to unwanted pregnancies among adolescents: promiscuity, insufficient parental supervision, ignorance regarding the risks of premarital sex, the impact of pornography, sexual and emotional violence or abuse, childhood experiences of physical violence, and economic difficulties.  Many adolescent females acknowledged that a discordant connection with their parents or surroundings served as a catalyst for stress, prompting them to seek solace through premarital sexual activity.  Consequently, the role of parents is crucial in providing a secure and nurturing environment for children's cognitive and emotional development.  Additional research is required to investigate adolescents' expectations regarding parental involvement in the prevention of unintended pregnancies.
