Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the correlation of knowledge level and attitudes regarding vulva hygiene practicing of grade VIII students in SMPN 21 Surabaya. Methods: The design of this study is a cross-sectional observational analysis using a cluster sampling technique with sample of 138 students. Variables of the study are knowledge level, attitudes and practice of vulva hygiene. Data are analyzed using the Spearman Rho test. In this study, data are collected by questionnaire sheet. Results: The results indicate that most of the students have a sufficient level of knowledge, positive attitudes and positive behavior. The results of the Spearman Rho analysis showed that there was no correlation between knowledge level and vulva hygiene practice (ρ = 0.583) and there was a correlation between attitude and vulva hygiene practice (ρ = 0.000). Conclusion: Providing information by schools through audiovisuals about reproduction organs so that the students are more interested in listening to information. Students should further increase their awareness regarding reproductive organs, especially in maintaining cleanliness to prevent adverse effects such as fungal infection and cancer.
