Abstract

Adolescents often undergo a tumultuous phase of sexual maturation, leading to increased dating activity due to a lack of adequate knowledge and support. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between knowledge, social support, and sexual behavior among adolescents. The research adopted a cross-sectional design with 100 respondents from Manukan Kulon. Simple random sampling was used to select the respondents. Knowledge and social support served as independent variables, assessed through questionnaires, while sexual behavior was the dependent variable, evaluated with a separate questionnaire. Ordinal data analysis, specifically the Spearman Rho test (ρ<0.05), was employed. Results indicated that 57% of adolescents in Manukan Kulon had low knowledge, 46% lacked social support, and 60% engaged in unsafe sexual behavior. The Spearman Rho test revealed significant relationships between knowledge and sexual behavior (ρ = 0.000) and between social support and sexual behavior (ρ = 0.000). In conclusion, improved knowledge can lead to safer sexual behavior among adolescents, while strong social support, particularly from parents and teachers, plays a vital role in providing information and promoting safe sexual behavior.
知识、社会支持与青少年性行为的关系
青少年通常经历性成熟的混乱阶段,由于缺乏足够的知识和支持,导致约会活动增加。摘要本研究旨在探讨青少年性知识、社会支持与性行为的关系。该研究采用了横断面设计,来自Manukan Kulon的100名受访者。采用简单随机抽样的方式选择调查对象。知识和社会支持作为自变量,通过问卷进行评估,而性行为作为因变量,通过单独的问卷进行评估。序贯数据分析采用Spearman Rho检验(ρ<0.05)。结果表明,57%的青少年对性知识缺乏认识,46%的青少年缺乏社会支持,60%的青少年从事不安全的性行为。Spearman Rho检验显示知识与性行为之间存在显著关系(ρ = 0.000),社会支持与性行为之间存在显著关系(ρ = 0.000)。总之,知识的提高可以使青少年的性行为更安全,而强有力的社会支持,特别是来自父母和老师的支持,在提供信息和促进安全性行为方面起着至关重要的作用。
