Abstract
Vaginal discharge is a common reproductive health issue that frequently affects adolescent girls. Adolescent girls are more susceptible to vaginal discharge, which frequently comes from insufficient knowledge that leads to inadequate genital hygiene practices. Vaginal discharge that is not addressed with appropriate treatment can have serious consequences, potentially leading to deaths. The study aims to determine the relationship between the knowledge level of adolescent girls and the efforts taken to prevent vaginal discharge at MAN (Islamis State Senior High School) 1 Sleman Yogyakarta. The research employed a quantitative methodology characterized by a descriptive correlational design and utilized a cross-sectional approach. The study comprised a population of 119 students. The sampling technique employed was Stratified Random Sampling, involving a sample size of 55 respondents. The data collection instrument utilized was a questionnaire employing the Spearman Rank statistical test. The findings indicated that among 55 adolescent girls, 21 people (38.2%) demonstrated poor knowledge regarding vaginal discharge, 32 people (58.2%) demonstrated sufficient knowledge, and 2 people (3.6%) possessed good knowledge. In the meantime, 23 adolescent girls (41.8%) demonstrated inadequate prevention efforts, while 32 people (58.2%) demonstrated effective prevention efforts. The results of the bivariate analysis conducted with the Spearman Rank test indicated a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), which meant the acceptance of Ha and the rejection of Ho. This indicates a significant relationship between the knowledge level of adolescent girls and the efforts aimed at preventing vaginal discharge at MAN 1 Sleman Yogyakarta. Adolescent girls are advised to improve their understanding of the significance of maintaining reproductive health to prevent genital diseases, including vaginal discharge.
