Peningkatan Pendidikan Kesehatan Penatalaksanaan Dismenore pada Remaja Putri di Posyandu Remaja Cindai Alus Kabupaten Banjar Tahun 2026

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common reproductive health issues experienced by adolescent girls, negatively impacting their daily activities and learning concentration. In Cindai Alus Village, Martapura District, Banjar Regency, low health literacy and the absence of structured educational programs have led to limited knowledge regarding menstrual pain management, often forcing teenagers to rely on unverified information sources. This community service program aims to improve the knowledge of adolescent girls through reproductive health education integrated with the reinforcement of the youth posyandu (health post) using pocketbook media. The activity was conducted over three months (May–July 2026) involving 50 female adolescent participants aged 10–18 years. Evaluation was carried out using a pre-test and post-test questionnaire design. The results showed a significant improvement in knowledge levels; prior to the education, 50% of participants had poor knowledge, whereas post-intervention, all participants fell into the fair and good categories, with the proportion of good knowledge increasing dramatically from 16% to 68%. This success was strongly supported by village officials, midwives, and youth posyandu cadres. The program has proven to be effective and worthy of sustainable integration into adolescent reproductive health services at the community level.
