Abstract

Background: Adolescent reproductive health literacy plays a critical role in preventing infections and promoting healthy hygiene behaviors. However, many adolescent girls still lack adequate knowledge and appropriate external genital hygiene practices. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the association between reproductive health knowledge and external genital hygiene behavior among adolescent girls. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 among all female students at a senior high school using total sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire whose content validity index (CVI) was assessed by three experts and reliability tested using Cronbach’s alpha (knowledge α = 0.82; behavior α = 0.79). Data were analyzed using Chi-square tests with a 95% confidence level. Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional ethics committee. Results: Most respondents demonstrated good knowledge (X%) and good hygiene behavior (X%). Chi-square analysis showed a statistically significant association between reproductive health knowledge and external genital hygiene behavior (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Higher reproductive health knowledge is significantly associated with better external genital hygiene behavior among adolescent girls. Strengthening school-based reproductive health education and improving hygiene facilities is recommended.

Abstract

Background: Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) among adolescents remains a public health priority in East Java, where disparities in sanitation and household health practices persist despite ongoing national efforts. Family cognitive and affective factors—particularly knowledge and attitudes—are widely acknowledged as important determinants of adolescent health behavior; however, evidence from Bangkalan Regency remains limited. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze family knowledge and family attitudes as predictors of adolescents’ PHBS and to identify the dominant influencing factor. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 families with adolescents aged 12–18 years selected through probability sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire validated through Pearson correlation (r > 0.361) and reliability tested using Cronbach’s Alpha (knowledge = 0.81; attitude = 0.85; PHBS = 0.79). Data analysis included univariate distribution, Chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression with a significance level of 0.05. Results: A total of 63% of families demonstrated good knowledge of PHBS, 58% had positive attitudes, and 60% of adolescents practiced good PHBS. Family knowledge was significantly associated with adolescent PHBS (p = 0.021), as was family attitude (p = 0.008). Logistic regression revealed that family attitude was the dominant predictor (OR = 2.87; 95% CI: 1.31–6.28; p = 0.006), while family knowledge remained significant (OR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.02–3.71; p = 0.039). The model explained 32% of the variance in adolescent PHBS (Nagelkerke R² = 0.32). Conclusion: Both knowledge and attitudes of families significantly influence adolescents’ PHBS, with attitudes serving as the strongest predictor. Strengthening family-based health promotion—particularly those targeting attitude change and supportive household norms—is essential for improving sustainable adolescent health behavior in Bangkalan.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major health problem among older adults and can lead to cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal complications. Because many risk factors are modifiable, knowledge of preventive measures may support healthier daily practices and routine blood pressure monitoring. Evidence linking prevention knowledge with directly measured blood pressure status in community-dwelling older adults remains limited in the study setting. Objectives: This study examined the relationship between knowledge of hypertension prevention and blood pressure status among older adults in Sekargadung, Pasuruan, Indonesia. Methods: A quantitative analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from October to November 2025. The accessible population comprised 43 adults aged 60 years or older. A minimum sample of 30 was calculated using Slovin's formula with a 10% margin of error, and participants were recruited purposively. Prevention knowledge was assessed using a 20-item questionnaire, and blood pressure was measured using a sphygmomanometer. Descriptive statistics and Spearman rank correlation were used for analysis. Results: Participants were 61-72 years old, with a mean age of 66.7 years, and 60.0% were men. Nineteen participants had adequate prevention knowledge and 11 had good knowledge. Blood pressure status was normal in 15 participants, prehypertensive in 11, stage 1 hypertensive in three, and stage 2 hypertensive in one. Among participants with good knowledge, 72.7% had normal blood pressure, compared with 36.8% of those with adequate knowledge. Prevention knowledge was significantly associated with blood pressure status (Spearman's rho = 0.383, p = 0.037). Conclusion: Better knowledge of hypertension prevention was associated with a more favorable blood pressure category, although the relationship was weak. Continuous, age-appropriate health education should be combined with regular blood pressure monitoring and practical support for lifestyle change. The cross-sectional design does not establish causality.
