Indonesia's rapid population growth, particularly among adolescents, has raised concerns regarding its social and reproductive health implications, including rising rates of unintended pregnancies, premarital sexual activity, and the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In response to these issues, the government issued Government Regulation (GR) No. 28 of 2024 as a derivative of Law No. 17 of 2023 on Health. One of its provisions regulates the provision of contraceptives for school-aged children and adolescents. This study aims to examine the implications of this provision in relation to religious values, social morality, and the direction of national health policy. The research employs a normative qualitative approach using juridical-philosophical analysis, along with an assessment of public responses, religious leaders’ perspectives, and the views of state institutions regarding the regulation. The findings indicate that Article 103 paragraph (4) letter e has sparked controversy due to the use of the term "provision," which is perceived as ambiguous and contradictory to religious norms particularly Islamic teachings and is viewed as potentially legitimizing premarital sexual behavior among students. These findings highlight the necessity for the government to reassess regulations that conflict with religious and local cultural values. Furthermore, the study advocates for strengthening preventive reproductive health education grounded in religious and moral principles, rather than directly providing contraceptives within school settings.

Social media has become an integral part of adolescents' lives, offering quick access to information, including reproductive health information. However, exposure to inaccurate information can pose risks. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social media use and adolescent reproductive health knowledge and behavior. A quantitative research method with a cross-sectional approach and chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between the independent variable (social media use) and the dependent variable (reproductive health knowledge and behavior). The study population was all 10th grade students (23 students) and 11th grade students (30 students) at SMK Tamansiswa Boja Kendal. A sample of 53 respondents was taken using an accidental sampling technique, consisting of students who happened to be present and willing to participate during the study. The results showed that the majority of respondents (56.6%) had low social media usage intensity. The majority of respondents also had a high level of knowledge (75.5%) about reproductive health, with an average score of 8.13 and a median of 10. Most respondents (66.0%) demonstrated positive reproductive health behavior. However, the chi-square test results showed no significant relationship between social media use and levels of knowledge (p = 0.673) or reproductive health behavior (p = 0.495). Although social media did not show a significant direct relationship to adolescent reproductive health knowledge and behavior in the context of this study, the high levels of knowledge and positive behaviors found indicate that existing educational programs, both in schools and from other sources, have been effective. Further research with larger samples and wider geographic variation is needed to understand other factors that influence adolescent health behavior.

Good reproductive health conditions in prospective brides and grooms (catin) will have an impact on the quality of future generations.

Kesehatan reproduksi merupakan aspek penting dalam peningkatan kualitas hidup perempuan usia subur, terutama di lingkungan kerja perkotaan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk memahami persepsi wanita usia subur terhadap penggunaan kontrasepsi jangka panjang (KJP) dan sikap mereka terhadap deteksi dini kanker serviks. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dan observasi terhadap lima informan di lingkungan kerja BUMN Kimia Farma jakarta pusat. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa persepsi terhadap KJP masih dipengaruhi oleh mitos, ketakutan efek samping, serta peran pasangan dalam pengambilan keputusan. Sementara itu, sikap terhadap pemeriksaan pap smear masih rendah karena rasa takut, miskonsepsi, dan kurangnya dukungan institusi. Budaya organisasi yang individualistis dan minimnya program edukasi internal turut memperkuat sikap pasif terhadap kesehatan reproduksi. Studi ini menegaskan perlunya pendekatan edukasi yang partisipatif, dukungan institusional, dan pemahaman budaya dalam merancang intervensi yang kontekstual guna meningkatkan literasi serta akses layanan reproduksi bagi perempuan usia subur di lingkungan perkotaan.
