ABSTRACT
Health knowledge is fundamental for everyone, including children. This knowledge provides understanding for
children in preparation for entering puberty. However, health education which discusses personal hygiene, anemia,
puberty, and healthy relationships, as well as reproductive health is still very limited in formal schools. Because
of these limitations, children need to get informal education. One of the ways this is done is through health
education activities at Kampung Belajar. The research objective was to analyze health knowledge on personal
hygiene, anemia, puberty, healthy relationships, and reproductive health taught through health education at
Kampung Belajar in Jambangan, Surabaya. This study used secondary data sources obtained from the teaching
team at the learning village. The data obtained were the result of evaluating learning activities related to health
knowledge. The research subjects were 22 students from grade 1 to 7. The results of this study were 0.031 with p
< 0.05. It can be concluded that there was a difference in health knowledge, which included personal hygiene,
anemia, puberty, healthy relationships, and reproductive health in the study group after receiving health education
provided by the teaching team at Kampung Belajar.
Keywords: knowledge, personal hygiene, reproductive health

pengetahuan ini memberikan persiapan bagi anak sebagai dalam memasuki masa pubertas. Akan tetapi,
pendidikan kesehatan yang membahas mengenai personal hygiene, anemia, pubertas, dan pergaulan sehat, serta
kesehatan reproduksi (kespro) masih sangat terbatas diajarkan di sekolah formal. Akibat keterbatasan tersebut,
anak perlu mendapatkan pendidikan informal salah satunya melalui kegiatan pendidikan kesehatan di Kampung

pubertas, dan pergaulan sehat, serta kesehatan reproduksi diajarkan melalui pendidikan kesehatan di Kampung
Belajar RT 05 RW III Kelurahan Jambangan, Kota Surabaya. Penelitian menggunakan data sekunder yang

pengetahuan kesehatan yang mencakup pengetahuan personal hygiene, anemia, pubertas dan pergaulan sehat,
serta kesehatan reproduksi pada anak-anak kelompok belajar sesudah mendapatkan pendidikan kesehatan yang
diberikan oleh tim pengajar di Kampung Belajar.

INTRODUCTION
Health knowledge is basic
understanding that is important for children
and adolescents. The provision of appropriate
and correct health knowledge information can
be a provision for children when they enter
their teenage years. Basic health education on
topics such as personal hygiene, anemia,
puberty, and reproductive health can be given
to children. However, some of the information,
such as puberty, anemia, and reproductive
health issues today, tends to focus on
teenagers. Ideally, the family environment
should be the first source of health information
for children and adolescents. However, not all
parents can be open with their children in
discussing reproductive health (Nurbaya, Jafar,
and Asrina, 2019).
A study found that there was still a lack
of knowledge among young women about
