Abstract

The impact of negative reproductive health outcomes is greater for female adolescents than for males, so the role of parents in providing health education to female adolescents is an important thing that requires serious attention. Mothers are parents as primary caregivers who have an important role in the development of reproductive health in adolescents. Lack of knowledge and perception of mothers about reproductive health in parents can trigger reproductive health problems, such as unwanted pregnancies, abortions, early marriages, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and perception of mothers on adolescent reproductive health. The sample was adolescents aged 12-18 years in the working area of ​​the Ngasem Health Center, Kediri Regency, as many as 80 respondents who were obtained based on proportional random sampling techniques. The instrument used to measure the variables of knowledge, maternal perception and adolescent reproductive health used a questionnaire. Data analysis used the Spearman rank test with a significance level of 0.05. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between maternal knowledge and adolescent reproductive health education with a fairly strong correlation value (r = 0.482), and there was a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and adolescent reproductive health education with a fairly strong correlation value (r = 0.482), there was also a significant relationship between maternal perception and reproductive health education in adolescents with a strong correlation value (r = 0.777). Efforts are needed to improve maternal knowledge and perception in order to provide reproductive education so that adolescents become more responsible for their reproductive health.  Keywords: knowledge, perception, reproductive health, adolescent mother

Abstract

Poor sleep quality among university students is often associated with academic stress, lifestyle habits, and irregular routines, which may influence blood pressure (BP). This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and BP in Indonesian university students. A descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 207 students at a private university in North Sulawesi Province of Indonesia. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and BP was measured with an aneroid sphygmomanometer. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation. The mean sleep quality score was 8.50 (SD=3.51) and 84.1% of participants were classified as having poor sleep quality. The mean systolic and diastolic BP were 107.76 mmHg (SD=13.61) and 75.91 mmHg (SD=11.91), respectively. A significant but weak negative correlation was observed between sleep quality and systolic BP (r=-0.191, p=0.006). While these findings differ from much of the global evidence linking poor sleep to higher BP, they highlight the complexity of sleep-BP interactions in young and healthy populations. These findings emphasize the importance of promoting better sleep hygiene, healthier lifestyle behaviors, and cardiovascular health strategies within university settings.
