Abstract

The lack of knowledge of reproduction health contributed to the readiness toward coping menarche. It is believed that reproductive health counselling could improve the adolescentsâ€™ readiness of coping menarche. This study aimed to determine the effect of the reproductive health counseling on the adolescentsâ€™ readiness in coping menarche. This study used a quasi experimental method with non-equivalent control group. Sample of the study was 34 in the control group, and 34 in the experiment group recruited by using convenience sampling. Independent sample t-test showed that there was an effect of reproduction health counseling on the readiness in coping menarche among female students of Junior High School (p-value <0.01).
