Analysis of Family Education Program on Adolescent Reproductive Health

Abstract

Efforts to promote and prevent reproductive health problems also need to be directed at adolescence, a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, during which rapid changes in body shape and function occur. Information dissemination, counseling, and clinical services need to be enhanced to address adolescent reproductive health issues. This type of research is a quasi-experimental study using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population in this study consisted of families with adolescents at Lawawoi Community Health Center (UPT) South Sulawesi, totaling 30 respondents. The sample size was 30 respondents, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed with the help of SPSS version 20 using the Wilcoxon test, with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results of the study showed a significant impact of family education on adolescent reproductive health, with a p-value of 0.021 (α < 0.05). The conclusion of this study is that there is an impact of the Family Education Program on Adolescent Reproductive Health at Lawawoi Community Health Center (UPT) South Sulawesi. It is hoped that families with adolescents can provide education to help improve adolescent reproductive health.
