Abstract

Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood, during which time individuals undergo changes both physically and psychologically, including the development and maturation of organs and functions of the reproductive system. Knowledge of reproductive health is important for adolescents, in order to know the proper and healthy function of reproductive organs responsibly. Adolescents who have a correct and proportionate understanding of reproductive health tend to understand the risks of free sex as well as alternatives that can be used to channel their sexual desires. This study aims to assess the correlation of adolescent percentions and their attitude after getting educated about adolescent promiscuity and sexual health. A total of 143 new students from Jenderal Achmad Yani University who participated in the webinar filled out a questionnaire that assessed the perception of their expectations with the motivation to deepen knowledge about the materials given. There are 9 educational themes given to improve adolescent knowledge about adolescent promiscuity and reproductive health. The data obtained was analyzed with Spearman’s correlation test, with a 95% degree of confidence. Spearman’s test results showed the meaningful relationship between the perception of expectations and the motivation of participants to improve knowledge. The R value of 8 educational themes is more than 0.75, indicating a strong positive relationship and 1 theme indicates an R=0.445 value indicating a moderate positive relationship. The conclusion of this study, the more appropriate adolescent expectations about adolescent social education and reproductive health, the higher the motivation to improve their knowledge.
