Review

This paper investigates the critical issue of readiness for menarche among young female students, specifically exploring the influence of knowledge levels and anxiety. The study, conducted among 4th and 5th-grade students at SDN Sukatani 2, Tangerang Regency, aimed to analyze the relationships between these factors. Utilizing a descriptive analytic and quantitative cross-sectional design with a sample of 60 respondents, the research found highly significant statistical relationships. Both a higher level of knowledge and a lower level of anxiety were strongly associated with greater readiness to face menarche, as evidenced by p-values of 0.000 for both variables. The study addresses a highly pertinent and timely topic concerning adolescent health education, particularly in the Indonesian context where cultural and social factors might influence girls' preparedness for menarche. Its clear objective and quantitative approach provide a solid foundation for identifying significant correlations. The use of total sampling for 60 respondents ensures complete data capture from the target group within the specified school. While the abstract effectively communicates the statistical significance of the findings, a more detailed elaboration in the full paper regarding the specific instruments or scales used to measure knowledge, anxiety, and readiness would enhance the methodological rigor and replicability. Furthermore, as a cross-sectional study, while it identifies relationships, it cannot establish causality, which is an inherent limitation worth acknowledging. The findings of this research carry significant practical implications for school health programs and parental education initiatives. The strong association between knowledge, anxiety, and menarche readiness underscores the critical need for comprehensive and early sex education that equips young girls with accurate information and emotional support, thereby reducing anxiety. Educational interventions focusing on these aspects could significantly improve girls' experience of menarche and overall well-being during adolescence. Future research could expand upon this study by employing longitudinal designs to track changes in readiness over time, exploring the effectiveness of specific educational interventions, or examining other socio-cultural factors that might influence girls' experiences. Additionally, qualitative studies could provide deeper insights into the lived experiences and perceptions of girls facing menarche.
