Abstract

Reproductive health is not only refers to the absence of disease related to reproductive system, but it also refers to a complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Promoting adolescents’ knowledge on reproductive health is deemed important, as adolescence is an age group which is still vulnerable to various reproductive and sexual problems. The understanding of reproductive health for adolescents can help to protect them from risky sexual behavior which can affect their sexual health, such as unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Makassar supports the efforts to increase knowledge of reproductive health in the community, especially through educational programs that prepare undergraduate students as the future biology teachers with adequate knowledge of reproductive health. Accordingly, this study is conducted to assess reproductive health knowledge of second year undergraduate students in Biology Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Makassar. The study population was students of class 2019 in the Biology Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Negeri Makassar. A total of 54 second year students in Biology department participated in this study by responding to an online Reproductive Health Questionnaire. The data obtained from the questionnaire were categorized into three groups based on Arikunto (2006) knowledge grouping categories. It is found that many participants in this study have the knowledge of reproductive health in the low (57.4%) and moderate (40.7%) category. Only 1.9% of respondents in this study had knowledge in the high category.
