Abstract

Adolescent girls are a vulnerable group for health problems, both general and reproductive. Lack of early detection and limited knowledge about reproductive health can increase the risk of anaemia, urinary tract infections, and reproductive disorders later in life. This community service activity aims to conduct basic health screenings and simple urine tests, as well as provide reproductive health education to adolescent girls. The activity methods included vital sign checks (blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and body temperature) and simple urine tests (leukocytes, nitrite, urobilinogen, protein, pH, blood, specific gravity, bilirubin, and glucose). Reproductive health education was provided through interactive lectures, discussions, and a question-and-answer session with 10 key questions to assess participant understanding. The activity results indicated that most adolescent girls had normal health status, although some minor abnormalities such as elevated blood pressure and pulse rate were found. The reproductive health education session showed that the majority of participants were able to answer questions correctly, indicating an increased understanding of personal hygiene, preventing urinary tract infections, and the importance of maintaining reproductive health.

Abstrak

Remaja putri merupakan kelompok yang rentan mengalami masalah kesehatan, baik kesehatan umum maupun kesehatan reproduksi. Kurangnya deteksi dini dan minimnya pengetahuan tentang kesehatan reproduksi dapat meningkatkan risiko anemia, infeksi saluran kemih, serta gangguan reproduksi di kemudian hari. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk melakukan skrining kesehatan dasar dan pemeriksaan urin sederhana, serta memberikan edukasi kesehatan reproduksi pada remaja putri. Metode kegiatan meliputi pemeriksaan tanda vital (tekanan darah, nadi, pernapasan, suhu tubuh) dan pemeriksaan urin sederhana (leukosit, nitrit, urobilinogen, protein, pH, darah, specific gravity, bilirubin, glukosa). Edukasi kesehatan reproduksi diberikan melalui ceramah interaktif, diskusi, dan sesi tanya jawab dengan 10 pertanyaan kunci untuk mengevaluasi pemahaman peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan sebagian besar remaja putri memiliki status kesehatan normal, meskipun terdapat temuan kelainan ringan seperti peningkatan tekanan darah dan denyut nadi. Sesi edukasi kesehatan reproduksi menunjukkan mayoritas peserta mampu menjawab pertanyaan dengan benar, menandakan adanya peningkatan pemahaman mengenai personal hygiene, pencegahan infeksi saluran kemih, dan pentingnya menjaga kesehatan reproduksi. Kegiatan ini menegaskan pentingnya deteksi dini kesehatan dasar dan edukasi kesehatan reproduksi bagi remaja putri sebagai upaya preventif untuk menurunkan risiko masalah kesehatan di masa mendatang.
