Abstract

Personal hygiene education for adolescents during vaginal discharge needs to be taught as early as possible to prevent infectious diseases caused by poor hygiene during vaginal discharge. The purpose of this study was to determine the personal hygiene of adolescent girls with vaginal discharge. Fifty respondents met the inclusion criteria through a total sampling method. Descriptive analysis was used. The study's characteristics were age, with the majority being 13 years old. Forty-six (46%) students had poor knowledge about personal hygiene. The type of vaginal discharge identified was abnormal, with 54 respondents (54%). Limited access to information and facilitators at the educational institution contributed to this lack of knowledge among the students. Based on the study results, researchers collaborated with health agencies and schools to conduct outreach activities to improve adolescent girls' knowledge about personal hygiene during vaginal discharge.

Abstract

Measles remains a major global health issue, including in Indonesia, with more than 10,600 cases reported in 2023 and approximately 3,400 cases until August 2025. Although most cases are self-limiting, neurological complications such as encephalitis and Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) remain significant causes of morbidity and mortality in children. This review summarizes recent evidence on the clinical characteristics, diagnostic approaches, and management of measles encephalitis in children. A literature search was conducted using Publish or Perish with the query “measles encephalitis” AND (child OR children OR pediatric) across Scopus, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar, covering the period 2015–2025. Selection followed PRISMA guidelines through identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. Of 157 articles identified, 13 met the criteria. Case reports comprised 69.2%. Diagnosis was most frequently based on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and electroencephalography (EEG) (≥70%), followed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) (46.1%) and histopathology (15.4%). Acute encephalitis was described in 84.6% of articles with nearly 50% mortality. SSPE was reported in 53.8% with progressive and fatal outcomes. Cases in immunocompromised children and neonates (15.4% each) showed more aggressive progression. Only two articles discussed therapeutic interventions with inconsistent outcomes. Measles encephalitis in children remains a critical challenge due to high mortality and limited therapeutic options. This review summarizes the latest evidence on the clinical and diagnostic spectrum of measles encephalitis and highlights the urgent need for research on diagnostic biomarkers and innovative therapies in the future.

Abstract

Indonesia is the 37th country with early marriage in the world and Asia. Indonesia reached 1.5 million children engaged in early marriage. West Java ranked 3rd, and Cianjur ranked 2nd in West Java with 543 cases in 2020. This study aims to analyze the Analysis of Behavioral Factors of Early Marriage Among Adolescents in Pacet District, Cianjur Regency in 2025. This study was conducted using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological research design. The study was conducted with in-depth interviews to explore the behavioral factors of adolescents engaging in early marriage. The sampling method used a purposive sampling technique. This study was conducted from February to April 2025. This study discusses the analysis of behavioral factors of adolescents engaging in early marriage. Based on the results of in-depth interviews with five main informants and several supporting informants, it was found that adolescents engaging in early marriage were divided into two factors. External factors are the environment, customs and culture, family, economy, and social media. Internal factors of adolescents engaging in early marriage were also found, namely factors from themselves, adolescents' expectations of marriage, and changes after marriage. More intensive education and approaches are needed with teenagers and the community to address early marriage in Pacet District, Cianjur Regency.

Abstract

Abstract: Early marriage frequently occurs in society and is often considered a normalized practice. The primary causes of early marriage include environmental or familial factors such as cultural norms, social pressure, poverty, and uncontrolled peer interactions. Marrying at a young age can raise concerns regarding marital issues due to a lack of mental readiness to start and maintain a healthy family life. Objective: This scoping review aims to explore and assess the impact of early marriage on adolescents. Methods: This study utilized the PRISMA-ScR Checklist, following five stages based on the  Arksey and O’Malley framework. Article searches were conducted using four databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, and Google Scholar. Results: Out of 10,864 articles identified, 11 met the inclusion criteria and were deemed relevant. This review highlights the impact of early marriage on adolescent mental health. Conclusion: The psychological consequences of early marriage are significant. Economic factors are a major determinant, as adolescents are often forced to assume financial responsibilities within the household, which strains their psychological well-being. Cultural beliefs that endorse early marriage as a means of controlling adolescent behavior further exacerbate mental health conditions. Domestic violence, insufficient capacity for autonomy, and limited awareness about reproductive health intensify the psychological burden, particularly among adolescent girls.
