Efforts to Increase Motivation to Screening Prospective Brides Through Empowering Teenage Posyandu Cadres

Prospective brides and grooms who are about to get married are the seeds of a family, so before getting married, they need to prepare their health conditions to be able to have a healthy pregnancy. The purpose of this community service is to determine the increase in motivation to screen prospective brides and grooms through the empowerment of adolescent posyandu cadres. The service activity was carried out in Peguyangan Kaja Village, the Working Area of Puskesmas III, North Denpasar District Health Office. The method used was education with Flipbook media and mentoring. The target was 5 adolescent posyandu cadres and 50 adolescents with a minimum age of 19 years. Motivation was measured using a questionnaire before and after education. The results showed that the motivation of adolescent participants to screen prospective brides and grooms before education was mostly in the high category (44%), and motivation after being given education with flipbook media was mostly very high (72%). Adolescent Posyandu cadres and Puskesmas officers should continue activities to provide reproductive health education to prospective brides and motivate them to screen prospective brides.
