| dc.description.abstract | Adolescence is a crucial transitional phase marked by significant physical,
cognitive, and psychosocial changes, often accompanied by various challenges.
The Indonesian government addresses these issues through the Adolescent-Friendly
Health Services (PKPR) program. The program's primary objective is to increase
adolescents' utilization of public health centers and equip them with knowledge and
skills for health problem prevention. This research investigates the implementation
of the PKPR program at Batang Kuis Public Health Center based on a basic logic
model: input, process, and output. The study employs a descriptive quantitative
method supported by qualitative data. Information was gathered from 10
informants selected through purposive sampling, using interviews, observations,
and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) as data collection methods. Research findings
indicate that in terms of input, the Human Resources (HR) at Batang Kuis Public
Health Center have not received adequate training, and the PKPR team lacks an
official Decree (SK). While the public health center is equipped with sufficient
facilities and infrastructure, conditions in the affiliated schools are not yet ideal,
and budget allocation remains insufficient. Regarding the process, Batang Kuis
Public Health Center has implemented PKPR activities, but their execution has not
reached full potential. Therefore, it's recommended that all PKPR officers receive
comprehensive training, and the PKPR team should promptly obtain an official
Decree. Furthermore, coordination and collaboration with schools need significant
improvement to ensure the PKPR program operates effectively. Lastly, regular
monitoring and evaluation of activities by the Health Office are necessary annually
to ensure the program's sustainability and quality improvement. | en_US |
