Edukasi Kesehatan Reproduksi Sebagai Upaya Meningkatkan Kesadaran dan Perilaku Hidup Sehat pada Remaja Putri di Sekolah Menengah

Abstract

Adolescents are an age group that is vulnerable to various reproductive health problems, including risky sexual behaviors that can have an impact on physical, psychological, and social health. Lack of knowledge and understanding of reproductive health is one of the factors that affect the emergence of this behavior. Therefore, educational efforts are needed to increase awareness and healthy living behaviors in young women. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of adolescent girls about the prevention of risky sexual behavior through reproductive health education. The activity was held on June 10, 2026 at SMA Negeri 1 Kisaran, Asahan Regency, North Sumatra, involving 40 class X students as participants. The methods used include lectures, educational video playbacks, discussions, questions and answers, leaflet distribution, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The results of the activity showed that participants participated in the activity enthusiastically and actively during the discussion session. The results of the evaluation showed that there was an increase in participants' knowledge about reproductive health and prevention of risky sexual behaviors. In addition, most of the participants were able to answer the questions given after the activity. Reproductive health education has proven to be effective in increasing the knowledge and awareness of adolescent girls so that it can be one of the promotive strategies in supporting healthy living behaviors in the school environment.
