- Abstract
Adolescence is a transition from childhood to adulthood. Teenagers experience rapid growth and need good nutrition to support their growth and development. One of the factors that play a role in the formation of adolescent behavior is that the cue factor acts in the form of mass media campaigns where mass media is one source of health information. Information sources obtained by adolescents are not matched by the existence of health education related to reproductive health by teachers and parents so that not a few adolescents engage in premarital sexual relations. This research was conducted to see the relationship of information sources to the knowledge and attitudes of Adolescents in SMA Negeri 1 Kayuagung, South Sumatra. This study was an observational study with a cross-sectional study design in which the sample was taken using cluster random sampling techniques on students of SMAN 1 Kayuagung that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistic test used the chi-square test with significance level p <0.05. The results showed that respondents who have less knowledge is 34.5% of 142 respondents while respondents who have less perception/attitude are 26.1%. Adolescents who did not get information from the mass media were 2.3 times more likely to have less knowledge than adolescents who got information from the mass media (95% CI: 1.5-3.7). While adolescents who did not get information from the mass media were 2.0 times more likely to have less attitudes than adolescents who received information from the mass media (95% CI: 0.9-4.3). It is recommended to conduct regular counseling to Adolescents regarding reproductive health by coordinating with the health center and selecting adolescent reproductive health ambassadors to be able to increase adolescent knowledge about life skills so as to make adolescents a peer counselor for their peers.
