Knowledge And Attitude

Adolescent period is a critical period that requires quality health services. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of health education through booklet media on the knowledge and attitude towards reproductive health among adolescents. This was a quasi-experimental case control study with nonequivalent two group design conducted on 282 students of SMP Negeri 37, a public junior high school, in the work area of Ibrahim Adjie Public Health Center in Bandung city during December 2018–May 2019. Subjects were divided into two groups, intervention and control groups, with 141 subjects in each group. Data collected were tested for normality and homogeneity using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Levene tests, respectively, followed by a bivariate analysis using Wilcoxon test to determine the difference. Knowledge of all students in both groups was poor during pre-test with an increase found in 135 subjects (95.7%) in the intervention group (p=0.001) and 63 subjects (44.7%) in the control group (p=0.003) based on the post-test results. Negative attitude was also seen in both groups during pre-test, with a shift towards positive attitude was evident in 134 students (95.0%) in the intervention group (p=0.001) and 117 students (83.0%) in the control group (p=0.002) based on post-test results. This presence that health information conveyed through booklet has a probability of giving 0.995 times stronger influence leaflet. Thus, the use of booklet can improve knowledge and attitude towards adolescent reproductive health. PENGARUH BOOKLET MEDIA PROMOSI KESEHATAN REPRODUKSI REMAJA TERHADAP PENGETAHUAN DAN SIKAP REMAJA YANG BERTEMPAT TINGGAL DI WILAYAH KERJA PUSKESMAS IBRAHIM ADJIE TAHUN 2018Masa remaja merupakan masa kritis yang membutuhkan pelayanan kesehatan yang berkualitas.

Knowledge Of Cancer

Introduction: The COVID-19 disease has an impact on the disruption of routine services and other health priorities including the provision of reproductive health services. Public awareness and knowledge of cancer including risk factors, efforts to prevent it, symptoms that arise, and early detection of cancer are still lacking, so it is necessary to increase knowledge to the public. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of counseling on the level of knowledge of the target group on breast cancer and cervical cancer in the pandemic era as well as to socialize about COVID-19. Methods: Research is carried out through Zoom Meeting media with educational media PowerPoint presentations, videos, and BSE demonstrations with an average number of 40 participants. The pretest was given a google form link that was distributed by the teacher to the WhatsApp group of the parents of students. The material was continued with a question-and-answer session and filling in the google post-test form. Data were analyzed by calculating the average pre-test and post-test scores to see the differences in participants' knowledge before and after counseling. Results: The average pre-test results of the participants were 6.7 and the post-test 9, analyzed with SPSS. There was an increase in participants' knowledge after counseling, it can be seen from the average score obtained from the post-test results that were higher when compared to the average score of pre-test average. Discussion: Counseling was deemed effective enough to educate parents or guardians about reproductive health, as seen from the enthusiasm of the participants during the activity and actively asking questions during the question-and-answer session. Conclusion: In conclusion, counseling can increase the knowledge of participants.

Evidence on girls’ transitions through puberty in Madagascar and ways in which menarche influences their educational experiences and future sexual and reproductive health is limited. We conducted qualitative research involving participatory activities with girls in rural and urban Madagascar to explore their transitions through early puberty. Key informant interviews were also conducted with adults interacting in girls’ lives. Findings revealed gaps in girls’ knowledge and support during puberty, varying guidance received about sexuality after menarche, and challenges managing menstruation in school. Given significant gaps in girls’ levels of knowledge and support, a clear need was demonstrated for educational material on puberty for early adolescents, along with teacher training about puberty. Improved toilet facilities are also needed to improve menstruating girls’ school-going experiences.

Abstract Background: Female adolescents undergo drastic changes in their bodies during puberty. Therefore, they need to be informed about these pending changes at an early age so they can build a foundation for healthy reproductive behaviour. This study explored young female adolescents’ understanding of pubertal body changes and knowledge of their reproductive system. Method: Female students in grades seven, eight and nine were recruited from eight junior high schools in Kupang, Indonesia. Body mapping was conducted together with a semi-structured interview. Data was analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Result: The median age of participants was 13 years and more than 85% had experienced menstruation. During interviews participants listed their pubertal body changes and then located the female reproductive system on body maps. Two main themes emerged in regards to participants’ perceived pubertal body changes and understanding of reproductive system. Participants aware the changes in their five body areas and could name one or two organs in the female reproductive system but they were unable to locate them on the body maps. The body mapping exercise revealed that participants have limited knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system. Conclusion: Young female adolescents demonstrated sound knowledge of pubertal body changes. However, they lacked an accurate understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system. The study identified a gap in young female adolescents' knowledge about the anatomy and physiology of the female reproductive system. This study provides evidence on the value of using the body mapping exercise in conjunction with semi-structured interviews in research with young female adolescents on a sensitive topic.

Hiv Aids

Based on the analysis of the AIDS Commission (KPA) in West Bandung District until July 2019, there were 379 cases of HIV/AIDS with 56 new cases. As many as 53% are involved in free sexual relations, while 52% occur at the age of 21-29 years and 33% are found in the sexual or gay community which also triggers HIV/AIDS transmission and becomes the second largest after heterosexuality. To achieve success, a three zero program needs to be innovative and continuous to increase knowledge about HIV/AIDS in adolescents through counseling to prevent the spread of infection early on. The movement of 1000 Millennial Youth Caring PLWHA is expected to be able to introduce and publish Youth Reproductive Health to prevent sexual freedom that can prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS transmission because adolescent behavior is influenced by their knowledge and attitude regarding reproductive health and HIV / AIDS. The target of this movement is high school teenagers in West Bandung District. The first activity was carried out at MA Al-Mukhtariyah Mande KBB. The activity was carried out in the form of counseling using PowerPoint media, leaflets and videos. Pre-test and post-test carried out before and after the activity which is one form of evaluation of the direct output of this activity. Pre-test and post-test results showed a significant increase from the average pre-test results of 63.8 and post-test results of 89.4. This shows that counseling activities are effective in increasing students' knowledge about HIV and AIDS (p <0.005).

This chapter describes a number of clinical procedures related to the reproductive system that commonly occur in children. After completing this chapter you will have a working knowledge of the reproductive system and will have accomplished the following learning objectives. After reading this chapter you should be able to: ● Describe the anatomy of the female reproductive system including the external genitalia, the ovaries, the accessory reproductive structures, and the mammary glands. ● Describe the ovarian and menstrual cycles and the hormones that regulate them. ● Describe the anatomy of the male reproductive system including the external genitalia, the testes, the internal ducts, and the glands. ● Discuss the procedures involved in preparing the child for pelvic examination, demonstrating an awareness of the cultural, ethical, and legal implications of this examination. ● Explain and prepare the child for a swab procedure. ● Undertake the post-operative care of dressings on genitalia. Before embarking on this chapter it would be helpful to read through Chapter Two and Chapter Four, to provide you with relevant background skills required in this context. Informed consent and child protection are quite important related issues, and are covered in great detail in Chapter Four. The initial part of this chapter describes the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system as a background towards understanding the relevant nursing care. This discussion is not intended to replace detailed study of anatomy and physiology, and for further and more detailed instruction on the topic you ought to consult a key text such as Martini & Nath (2008). The female reproductive system is regulated in a cyclical manner by hormones. The onset of the first menstrual cycle (menarche) occurs at puberty, and the female has the capacity to become pregnant up until the menopause, when the menstrual cycle ceases. The essential sex organs of the female reproductive system are the ovaries, which release one ovum (egg) each month. The fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and the mammary glands (breasts) make up the female accessory reproductive structures. The anatomy of the female reproductive system is illustrated in Figure 16.1.
