A Systematic Review: Knowledge of Reproductive Health in Adolescents

Abstract

Problems that often occur in adolescents include sexual problems, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, sexually transmitted diseases, and drug abuse. One of the causes of this problem is the lack of adolescent knowledge about reproductive health. Therefore, it is necessary to provide adequate reproductive health education for adolescents. But during this pandemic, education through telemedicine is considered safer as an effort to control the COVID-19 pandemic. This review aims to summarize and determine the effect of education through telemedicine on changes in the level of adolescent knowledge about reproductive health based on literature studies. A systematic review was conducted to examine the effectiveness of health education through telemedicine on adolescent knowledge levels about reproductive health. The study examined 7 articles obtained from Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar with a Randomized Controlled Trial or quasi-experimental research design. The articles were published between 2016 and 2022 and were evaluated by Joanna Brings Institute ( JBI) to examine their quality. Furthermore, research was explored and analyzed by Thematic Analysis. It was found that 20 journals showed a significant increase in the level of knowledge among adolescents about reproductive health, measured by before and after questionnaires. Based on the literature, health education through telemedicine has proven to be effective in increasing the level of adolescent knowledge about reproductive health.
