Empowerment of Mother's Groups to Improve Adolescent Reproductive Health in Kampung Nelayan Health Center

Abstract

Now, adolescent reproductive health problems are increasing, which may be caused by a lack of
knowledge, self-confidence, religiosity and family support. So we need community service activities that
aim to empower women's groups in improving adolescent reproductive health in the work area of the
Kampung Nelayan Health Center, Gresik Regency. Adolescents' commitment to maintaining reproductive
health requires support from the family. Mothers are the closest people to their children, so mother's
support is an important component in improving adolescent reproductive health. This activity was
attended by 40 mothers of adolescents. The first stage was increasing knowledge, then mentoring and
the next was empowerment. The module on reproductive health as a media for health education was
first socialized to the mother group. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in the
knowledge and role of mothers in improving adolescent reproductive health.
