Efektivitas Edukasi Partisipatif melalui Poster dalam Meningkatkan Pengetahuan Kesehatan Reproduksi Remaja di MTsN 15 Boyolali Effectiveness of Participatory Education and Poster-Making Intervention in Enhancing Adolescent Reproductive Health Knowledge at MTsN 15 Boyolali

Abstract

Reproductive health is a crucial issue during adolescence, often hindered by limited access to accurate information. Insufficient knowledge of physiological changes and health risks can lead to risk-taking behaviors. This community service activity aims to enhance students' understanding of reproductive health through an educational approach involving poster creation. The implementation method employed a pre-test and post-test design to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention, which consisted of material counseling and an educational poster-making among 26 seventh-grade students at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri (MTsN) 15 Boyolali. The evaluation results indicated an average increase in knowledge scores of 8.46 points (from 80.77 to 89.23). The majority of participants (69.2%) showed an increase in their knowledge scores, indicating that poster-making as a creative medium has the potential to strengthen information retention among students. This success suggests that integrating verbal education and poster-making is key to optimizing reproductive health literacy in the madrasah environment in a more effective and meaningful way for adolescents. As a follow-up, it is recommended to develop a more comprehensive evaluation that includes behavioral aspects, alongside sustainable mentoring programs that involve guidance and counseling teachers to support the internalization of health information and ensure long-term behavioral impact within the school environment.
