- Abstract
Adolescents are vulnerable to reproductive health problems. Teachers are one of the most trusted sources of information for adolescents, but few teachers communicate reproductive health to students. This study aims to analyze the factors that most influence the teacher's behavior in providing reproductive health and sexuality information to students. This research was conducted in 2022 using a cross-sectional approach to a population of junior high school teachers in Grogol Sukoharjo District. The research sample was 130 teachers who were taken by exhaustive sampling technique. Data analysis in this study was bivariate (chi-square test) and multivariate (multiple logistic regression tests). Perceived behavioral control is the most influential factor on teacher behavior in conveying reproductive health information to students with OR = 0.428 (95% CI: 0.189–0.967). Teachers who have high perceived behavioral control are at risk of not providing reproductive health information to students 0.428 times compared to teachers who have low perceived behavioral control. Efforts are needed to improve teacher skills to provide reproductive health education comfortably to students.
