Keywords:
Menstruation; Knowledge; Attitude; Self-Care BehaviorAbstract
Puberty accompanies the growth and development of children into adolescents,
marked by the onset of menarche (the first menstruation) in young girls.
Maintaining reproductive health, such as practicing genital self-care during
menstruation, is essential for adolescent girls. Good knowledge and attitudes are
required for them to perform proper menstrual self-care. This study aims to
describe the knowledge, attitudes, and self-care behaviors during menstruation
among adolescents. The research type is descriptive quantitative with a crosssectional design. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling, with a
total of 55 respondents. The results showed that 70.9% of respondents had a good
level of knowledge. Regarding attitudes toward self-care, 100% were categorized
as good, while 80% of respondents' behaviors were categorized as poor. In
conclusion, while the knowledge and attitudes regarding menstrual self-care
among adolescents were found to be good, the actual behavior was poor. Further
education through practical demonstrations on maintaining personal hygiene
during menstruation is needed, along with a support system from various parties
to enhance the motivation of adolescent girls in maintaining menstrual hygiene.
