| Summary: | One of the present important development issues was reproduction health.
The reproduction health began at adolescence and adolescents became primary
concern. Additionally, labile condition, less understanding of the right
reproduction health and the taboo of sex caused reproduction deviations such as
premarital sex, abortion and HIV/AIDS. However, there were many refproduction
information that were easily accessed by adolescents and parents could not play
maximal role in the reproduction health education because they were lack of the
knowledge of the reproduction health in addition to the existing social construct
that considered sexuality as taboo. Peer educator approach in the adolescent
reproduction health education was chosen because peers played an important role
in transfering the information of the reproduction health. The effectiveness of the
peer education approach in the program PIK-KRR became the entry point in the
adolescent reproduction health education.
The study used qualitative method and was conduced in �Demarko� Senior
High School. The informants were selected using purposive sampling except
those in selected using snowball sampling. The data was collected using
participant observation and in-depth interview for descriptive analysis.
The adolescent reproduction health education wass conducted through Pusat
Information dan Konseling Kesehatan Reproduksi Remaja (PIK-KRR) program
and the peer educator as the primary actor. The PIK-KRR of �Demarko� Senior
High School is referred to as �Subur�. Though it was controversial at the
beginning, the PIK-KRR �Subur� obtains the predicate �Tegar� representing the
highest level in the management of the PIK-KRR. However, in the first year the
management of the PIK-KRR managed to organize all of the programmed
activities and won First Champion of PIK-KRR at provincial level.
In the next operation, it was proven that the performance of the peer
edcuators in the PIK-KRR �Subur� decreased because the communication went
unidirectionally, is of low intensity, gains less support and appreciation of the
school and the low motivation of advocating teachers. Some actors in the
implementation of the PIK-KRR in �Demarko� Senior High School pursued their
own interests. The articulation of the actors blured the objective of the
reproduction health education that the program did not go effectively.
