E-MODULE OF TRIAD KESEHATAN REPRODUKSI REMAJA: IMPACT ON STUDENT’S KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

Sexual perversion including premarital sex, and unwanted pregnancy, is relatively high among adolescents. This problem is further exacerbated by their involvement in drug use. These two incidents can lead to sexually transmitted diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) in adolescents. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the effectiveness of the TRIAD Kesehatan Reproduksi Remaja (KRR) E-Module on changes in students' knowledge about sexuality, drugs, and HIV/AIDS. It used a quasi-experimental approach with a nonequivalent pre-test-post-test control group design. The samples selected were 40 class VIII students from Private Junior High School in Bandung Regency, while the variables analyzed included students' knowledge about sexuality, drugs, and HIV/AIDS. Furthermore, the samples were grouped into an experimental and a control group. The experimental group was given information from the E-Module and the effect on students' knowledge was analyzed using t-test. The results showed the influence of the E-Module on three primary threats to adolescent reproductive health (TRIAD KRR E-Module) with t=-5.973 and p=0.001. Education using the TRIAD KRR E-Module increased students' knowledge to prevent various health problems arising from three primary threats to adolescent reproductive health. Therefore, the E-Module can be used as an alternative intervention to prevent risky behavior in adolescents, unsafe sexual problems, drugs, and HIV/AIDS
