Abstract

 

One of the health problems that are a global challenge is pregnancy in adolescents. Factors that cause high pregnancy rates in adolescents are a lack of knowledge to do wrong actions in preventing pregnancy. The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of playing snake and ladder on the prevention of premarital pregnancy on the knowledge and attitudes of junior high school students. This study uses a non-equivalent quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample was eighth-grade students of Junior high school 1 Muhammadiyah Kasihan Bantul and eighth-grade students of Junior high school 1 Kasihan Bantul as many as 35 students with systematic random sampling. Bivariate analysis using Mann Whitney U. The difference in the average of knowledge improvement in the intervention group after being given the game was 9.91 and, in control, the group was 7.37. While the difference in the average attitude improvement in the intervention group after being given the game was 15.63 and, in control, 8.69. The knowledge and attitudes improvement in the group using the snake and ladder game method was higher than the lecture method. This study suggests that the material on preventing premarital pregnancy can be considered mandatory for students, especially teenagers in all schools in Indonesia, by using the educational snake and ladder game about preventing premarital pregnancy.
