Abstract
Inadequate menstrual hygiene may lead to reproductive health issues and urinary tract infections that could affect the health of future pregnancies. Health problems resulting from inadequate hygiene during and after menstruation are caused by internal factors such as knowledge and behavior. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes with menstrual hygiene management among adolescent girls. This study is a quantitative cross-sectional study involving 65 adolescent girls obtained using purposive sampling. The results of the study show that there is a relationship between knowledge and attitudes with menstrual hygiene management (p = 0.045; p = 0.009). Researchers suggest that the next study should investigate other variables, such as self-efficacy, family support, culture, school support, family economic conditions, the influence of social media, and self-perception to further analyze menstrual hygiene management among adolescent girls.
