<![CDATA[Adolescent risky sexual behavior has led to an increase in early marriage and unwanted pregnancies. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge levels and parental roles in preventing risky sexual behavior among adolescents at SMA Negeri 3, Bengkulu City. The research design used an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was all 1,315 students at SMA Negeri 3, Bengkulu City, in the 2025-2026 academic year. A sample of 93 respondents was drawn using cluster sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The univariate analysis revealed that almost half (41 respondents) (44.1%) had poor knowledge, the majority (48 respondents) (51.6%) had poor parental roles, and the majority (51.8%) had good knowledge in preventing risky sexual behavior among adolescents. The bivariate analysis revealed a relationship between knowledge and preventing risky sexual behavior among adolescents at SMA Negeri 3, Bengkulu City (p-value = 0.000). There is a relationship between parental role and the prevention of risky sexual behavior in adolescents at SMA Negeri 3, Bengkulu City (p-value = 0.000). The results of this study are expected to provide input for the study's host school in developing evidence-based operational policies regarding reproductive health, particularly risky sexual behavior.]]>

<![CDATA[Reproductive health knowledge significantly influences promiscuous sexual behavior. Adolescents with good reproductive health knowledge will not engage in actions that will endanger their health, while those with poor reproductive health knowledge are more likely to engage in promiscuous sexual behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between reproductive health knowledge and promiscuous sexual behavior among adolescents at SMA Negeri 10 Bengkulu. This study used an analytical survey. This method was designed using a cross-sectional approach, where data collection for the independent and dependent variables was conducted simultaneously. The population in this study was 74 eleventh-grade students. The sampling method was probability sampling, and data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test. The results of the variate analysis showed that 33 (44.6%) students had good reproductive health knowledge. 43 (58.1%) students had positive attitudes toward reproductive health, and 31 (41.9%) students had negative attitudes. 46 (62.2%) adolescents exhibited positive promiscuous sexual behavior, and 28 (37.8%) exhibited negative promiscuous sexual behavior. Bivariate analysis results revealed a significant relationship between knowledge about reproductive health and promiscuous sexual behavior in adolescents (p-value = 0.001), and a relationship between attitudes about reproductive health and promiscuous sexual behavior in adolescents (p-value = 0.005). The researchers recommend that schools provide reproductive health education to students. Students are expected to improve their knowledge and selective attitudes toward their daily relationships.]]>

<![CDATA[The function of independence in the elderly contains the definition of the ability of the elderly not to depend on others to carry out their activities, all carried out independently with their own decisions to meet their needs. Assistance in daily activities is not only given to the elderly but to every individual who is in need or to individuals who are sick. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between cognitive function and family support with independence in carrying out daily activities in the Elderly Community in the Kandang Health Center Working Area in 2024. The research method used was descriptive quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used purposive sampling technique with a sample size of 95 people representing all elderly people in the Kandang Health Center Working Area. The results of the univariate test analysis showed a small portion of respondents (14.7%) with severe cognitive impairment, a small portion of respondents (17.9%) with unsupportive families in the Region, and a small portion of respondents (13.7%) with dependent independence. The results of the bivariate analysis obtained the results of cognitive function (0.000) and family support (0.000) with independence in carrying out daily activities in the elderly community. There is a relationship between cognitive function and independence in carrying out daily activities in the elderly community in the Kandang Community Health Center Working Area in 2024. Researchers suggest that the Kandang Community Health Center in Bengkulu City can use the results of this study as a basis for implementing guidance, coaching, and counseling programs regarding elderly independence.]]>

<![CDATA[In adolescent females, menarche signifies the onset of the reproductive phase, frequently accompanied by health complications, one of which is dysmenorrhea—menstrual pain that disrupts daily activities. Data indicates that dysmenorrhea impacts over 60% of adolescent girls in Indonesia, with factors such as stress and dietary choices involving fast food believed to significantly influence pain intensity. At Public Middle School 02 in Bengkulu City, a similar occurrence was seen, with numerous female students reporting dysmenorrhea-related disorders that impeded their concentration and participation in school activities. The objective of the study was to ascertain the correlation between stress levels, fast food consumption patterns, and the prevalence of dysmenorrhea among teenage girls at Public Middle School 02 in Bengkulu City. This study employed a case-control design to compare case and control groups, aiming to elucidate the association between stress levels and fast food eating behaviours concerning the occurrence of dysmenorrhea in teenage females at Public Middle School 02 in Bengkulu City. The study comprised 31 case girls with obesity and 31 control girls without obesity, randomly recruited by simple random sampling. Data were gathered through questionnaires to assess stress levels, fast food consumption behaviours, and the prevalence of dysmenorrhea, which were subsequently analysed univariately and bivariately using statistical methods, including normality tests, homogeneity tests, and logistic regression, to ascertain the significant relationships among these variables. This study's results indicated a correlation between fast food eating behaviour, stress levels, and the prevalence of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls at Public Middle School 02 in Bengkulu City. The normality test demonstrated that both variables exhibited a normal distribution, satisfying the criteria for parametric analysis. Univariate analysis indicated that the majority of respondents in the case group reported dysmenorrhea, with many exhibiting moderate stress levels and moderate fast food consumption patterns. Bivariate tests employing odds ratio analysis revealed that intermediate stress levels were significantly associated with the occurrence of dysmenorrhoea with OR:19.1, 95%CI 2.9-199.7, dan p-value: 0.000, exhibiting odds 19.1 times greater than those associated with mild stress, although fast food intake shown no significant association with dysmenorrhoea. The results indicate that stress has a more significant impact on the occurrence of dysmenorrhea than fast-food consuming habits. The personnel and educators in a public middle school in Bengkulu City must cultivate a school environment that is more conducive to reproductive health, emotional wellness, and nutritious eating practices for female pupils.]]>

<![CDATA[Exclusive breastfeeding affects the health of infants; the fewer infants who are exclusively breastfed, the poorer the health of infants and toddlers will be (Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2018). Based on data from the Nusa Indah Community Health Center in Bengkulu City, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding has increased for three consecutive years. In 2021, the exclusive breastfeeding rate stood at 64.25%; in 2022, it was 49.2%; and in 2023, it stood at 36.45%. This study aims to determine the relationship between mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward exclusive breastfeeding and the development of infants aged 7–12 months in the service area of the Nusa Indah Community Health Center in Bengkulu City in 2025. The research method used was a descriptive quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique employed total sampling, with a sample size of 48 respondents in the service area of the Nusa Indah Community Health Center in Bengkulu City. The results of the univariate analysis showed that the majority of respondents (56.3%) had insufficient knowledge and an unfavorable attitude, while the majority of respondents (70.8%) had normal development, and nearly a third of the respondents (35.4%) were in the normal range. The results of the bivariate analysis revealed a relationship between mothers’ knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding and the development of 7-month-old infants –12 months in the service area of the Nusa Indah Community Health Center, Bengkulu City, in 2025 (p = 0.000), and a relationship between mothers’ attitudes toward exclusive breastfeeding and the development of infants aged 7–12 months in the service area of the Nusa Indah Community Health Center, Bengkulu City, in 2025 (p = 0.000). It is hoped that this study can serve as a guide for policy-making regarding maternal and child health (MCH) programs, particularly concerning the importance of exclusive breastfeeding.]]>

<![CDATA[Speech delay in early childhood calls for repeated language stimulation adapted to each child’s communication abilities, yet classroom practice is rarely described as an integrated set of strategies. This study describes teachers’ communication strategies for stimulating the language of children with speech delay at Mekar Indah Kindergarten, Bengkulu City. A qualitative descriptive approach involved three purposively selected informants: a principal who also taught, a homeroom teacher, and a classroom teacher. Data were gathered through classroom observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, reduced and organized into four communication categories, and interpreted through triangulation of collection techniques. Teachers combined face-to-face interaction, including eye contact, positioning themselves at the child’s level, and modeling pronunciation; mediated communication using pictures, cards, illustrated books, videos, and colored blocks; verbal communication through brief sentences, questions, repetition, and positive reinforcement; and nonverbal communication through facial expressions, gestures, and movement. Observed responses included more focused attention, pointing to pictures, following movements, attempting to imitate sounds, and beginning to say simple words. These forms complemented one another when teachers adapted messages to children’s responses and allowed time to answer without pressure. The findings offer a practical basis for consistent multimodal classroom stimulation, routine records of small gains, and coordination with language activities at home. As the study examined one kindergarten and three teachers, its findings describe situated practice rather than clinical effectiveness or generalizable improvement in language outcomes.]]>

<![CDATA[Competition among culinary businesses in Bengkulu City calls for digital marketing communication that explains products while sustaining relationships with customers. This study examines the use of content on the @kaneekann Instagram account to promote Kaneekan, a food and beverage business, focusing on information delivery, interaction, and visual promotion. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data came from account observation, in-depth interviews with the owner who manages the account and with consumers, and documentation of published content. The material was interpreted thematically using three aspects of social media use. Photographs, videos, stories, highlights, and captions conveyed menus, prices, promotions, flavor variants, opening hours, and ordering information. Comments, direct messages, polls, and question-and-answer features supported two-way communication that consumers described as friendly and responsive. Visual product content and periodic offers drew attention and were associated by interviewees with an interest in trying the products. The account profile and highlights also connected product information with access to ordering channels. However, narratives explaining the business values, distinctive advantages, and brand identity remained less prominent than product information. The findings suggest that Instagram promotion depends on the combined accessibility of information, responsiveness to customers, and relevant visual presentation. A clearer brand narrative could make Kaneekan’s communication more coherent. As this qualitative study concerns one business, its findings describe participants’ experiences and do not establish a causal effect on sales.]]>

<![CDATA[The digital economy enables housewives to earn income through social media content production. This study analyzes the use of Facebook Pro as a monetization medium, the strategies used to generate income, and its contribution to family economic independence in Selali Village, Pino Raya Sub-District, South Bengkulu Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Informants were purposively selected and consisted of three housewives who actively worked as Facebook Pro creators: Ikke Nurjayanti Bakri, Yolanda Donny Sopia, and Wahyuri Lilis. Data were collected through interviews conducted on 2 April 2026, observation of account activities, and documentation of views, audience interactions, collaborations, and monetization evidence. Data were analyzed using an interactive model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that daily-life, entertainment, and social interaction content was produced consistently using simple equipment. The main strategies included responding to comments, conducting live broadcasts, following trends, selecting upload times, and collaborating with other creators. Monetization was influenced by views, audience engagement, consistency, and unpredictable platform policies. Facebook Pro income supported household needs, asset purchases, house construction, small-business development, and family religious travel. The findings confirm that digital creative work can expand economic opportunities for rural housewives, although their income remains dependent on algorithms and changing platform policies.]]>

<![CDATA[The openness of social media makes expressions of Japanese popular culture fandom readily visible and subject to the wibu label. This study examines public perceptions of that label among followers of the @cosplay_bengkulu Instagram account and traces its meaning across five stages of labeling theory. A descriptive qualitative approach involved four purposively selected informants: two account followers and two nonfollowers familiar with the term wibu. Data came from in-depth interviews, observations of account posts and interactions, and documentation. Findings were analyzed through data reduction, display, and verification, with methodological triangulation. Initial interest in anime and cosplay was generally regarded as an ordinary hobby. Judgments shifted when expressions were perceived as unusually intense or conspicuous: three informants interpreted the wibu label negatively, while one viewed it neutrally. Audience responses included appreciation of creativity, jokes, ridicule, and social distancing. In the informants’ accounts, the label could encourage support within the community, but it was more often associated with restricting self-expression to avoid stigma. The community was viewed as distinct, although its presence was generally accepted under certain conditions. These findings suggest that visual symbols and the context in which they are interpreted shape perceived boundaries of acceptable behavior. Explanatory captions and digital cultural literacy may help reduce generalizations about fans. Because the study involved only four informants, its findings cannot represent the views of the wider Bengkulu population.]]>

<![CDATA[ Tourism promotion on social media requires stories that connect a destination’s attractions with the experiences prospective visitors might imagine. This study examines Joe Lambert’s seven stages of digital storytelling in five tourism videos on the Facebook account @Nopri Anto and identifies the strengths and limits of their promotional messages. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied to five videos about Bukit Raje Mendare, Rafflesia arnoldii, Gunung Patah, and two river tubing activities observed between January and March 2026. Images, sound, captions, and visible interactions were documented and classified against the seven stages; findings were then condensed, displayed, and verified. All five videos contained recognizable elements of insight, emotion, a defining moment, visual storytelling, sound, assembly, and sharing, although their development varied. Authentic imagery was the strongest feature, showing landscapes, a rare flower, an expedition, and shared recreational experiences. The expedition video presented the clearest narrative progression, while several other videos resembled sequences of documentary footage. The emotional arc, voice narration, transitions between significant moments, and closing calls to action need further development. These findings suggest that attractive images alone cannot adequately explain a destination’s distinctive value or communicate safety and conservation messages. Basic story planning before production and active conversation after publication may strengthen narrative coherence and audience engagement. The findings concern the observed content and do not establish an effect on travel decisions.]]>
