The Relationship Between Family Resilience and The Role of Peers on Reproductive Health Behaviour in Adolescents at SMPN 258 East Jakarta

Reproductive health issues are still a significant problem among adolescents, such as free sex, abortion, sexually transmitted infections, and HIV/AIDS, requiring government attention. One of the causes is the inadequate family resilience of adolescents and the influence of peers. This study aimed to determine the relationship between family resilience and the role of peers on reproductive health behaviour in adolescents at SMPN 258 East Jakarta. The research design used a cross-sectional approach with a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. This research was conducted in May 2023. This study's population were adolescents still active at SMPN 258 Jakarta. A total of 250 adolescents participated in this study. From the Chi-square test results, it was found that there was a relationship between family resilience and the role of peers on adolescent reproductive health, with a p-value of family resilience of 0.002 ( p<0. 05) and the part of peers of 0.003 ( p<0 .05). The researcher recommends this study as a policy basis to the DKI Jakarta Health Office regarding the importance of understanding, assistance, and supervision from parents regarding adolescent reproductive health and to the school by providing counselling on choosing good peers.


INTRODUCTION
Adolescents comprise the largest age group in Indonesia at 24 per cent of the total population.According to the National Population and Family Planning Agency, adolescents are the population aged 10 to 24 years and are single (BKKBN & Kementerian, 2018).The size of the adolescent population will affect the formation of social, economic, and demographic perspectives at this time or in the future because, along with the process of growth and development, adolescents always want to try new and risky things which have adverse effects and are detrimental to the future (Sari, 2019).Thus, adolescents need to seek serious attention because they are vulnerable to the risk of reproductive health problems such as premarital sexual behaviour, sexually transmitted infections, HIV/AIDS, and others.
Data from the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (2017) revealed that (2%) of female adolescents and (8%) of male adolescents had practised premarital sexual intercourse, and (11%) of them faced unwanted pregnancy.Among these adolescents, (59%) of females and (74%) of males reported that they started having sex at the age of 15-19 years.The family is the primary and most important source for adolescents in shaping attitudes, mindsets, and knowledge, one of which is related to reproductive health.Family resilience is defined as the family's ability to manage resources and deal with problems that arise to fulfil the needs of all family members (Arsad et al., 2022).The strength of family resilience owned by the family will more easily shape the personality of adolescents not to be trapped in negative influences.(Ulfiah, 2021).
Generally, adolescents are not free to talk about sexual problems in the family due to the lack of communication built by the family (Santoso, 2022).Many families still consider it taboo to talk about matters related to adolescent sexual development.
As a result, adolescents choose friends as a place to share about this matter.(Sari, 2019).Adolescents tend to get the wrong information containing sexual elements  culture that considers it taboo to discuss sexuality related to reproductive health.(Maina et al., 2020;Bhatta et al., 2021;Usonwu et al., 2021;Toru et al., 2022). Of Adolescents are very open to peer groups.Adolescents spend more time with friends than parents(Fatmawati & Wahyudi, 2021).They discuss various things or things in common with each other for hours.This needs to follow Nova's research (2023).It was found that there was no relationship between the role of peers and perceptions of reproductive health with a research p-value (0.754> 0.05).This is because adolescents' perceptions are influenced by not using the internet appropriately to search for information related to reproductive health, the absence of adolescent participation in PIK-Remaja at school, sinister influence from peers,
