Abstract

Vulva pruritus, or itching in the vulva area, can be a health issue that impacts the well-being of adolescents. Vulva pruritus symptoms can be caused by a lack of information, inappropriate hygiene behavior, and a lack of home hygiene facilities. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the contributing factors to the occurrence of vulva pruritus cases among adolescents in the village of Rerer. Methods: This study employed descriptive correlation with a cross-sectional research design, using a total of 78 samples selected through total sampling technique. Findings: The results of the Spearmen rank indicated that the p-value was 0.334, which was greater than 0.05. This suggests that there is no statistically significant relationship between knowledge and the occurrence of vulva pruritus symptoms. The results of the Pearson correlation test yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant relationship between vulva hygiene behavior and vulva pruritus symptoms (p < 0.05). It is that adolescents recommendation enhancement of education and awareness about vulva hygiene behavior, improvement of home hygiene facilities and that future researchers consider additional factors such as family support and exposure to information.
