PELAYANAN KESEHATAN REPRODUKSI REMAJA DI PUSKESMAS: ISU DAN TANTANGAN
ABSTRACT: In line with the
International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in 1994 in Cairo,
2001, The Indonesian Ministry of Health developed an integrated essential
reproductive health Services at primary health care which include Adolescence
Reproductive Health services (ARH). Utilized qualitative approach, this article
examine the implementation of ARH in 16 primary health care (puskesmas) which
are located in four districts/city namely Pontianak City, Landak District, Ogan
Komering Ilir District and Tasikmalaya District. The study results showed that
ARH programs have not been folly implemented. This is due to several obstacles
including (a) The limited knowledge of health personnel in the puskesmas,· (b)
Obstacles related to legal and policy aspects; (c) Obstacles related to
socio-cultural aspects. Considering the increase number of adolescents who have
engaged in risky sexual activities, it is important to develop comprehensive
approaches to this phenomenon, especially at puskesmas. To do so, the national
consensus on the right of adolescents to obtain comprehensive information and
services related to sexual and reproductive health is urgently needed The
consensus of course has to consider the religious and cultural norm, but it
also has to accept the real condition of today s adolescents.
