Hubungan pemenuhan social needs dengan perilaku pacaran berisiko pada remaja

Abstract

Abstract Background: The dating style of today's adolescents shows risky behavior that is not appropriate for their age, such as behavior that leads to premarital sex. The process of sexual interaction in adolescents is described in five phases which include touching, courtship without kissing, kissing, touching sensitive body parts (such as breasts and genitals), and sexual intercourse. Basic social needs are a very important variable in motivating behavior. Purpose: To determine the relationship between fulfilling social needs and risky dating behavior in adolescents. Method: The study used a quantitative descriptive method with a total sampling of 107 respondents. The measuring instrument in this study used a social needs questionnaire and a premarital sexual behavior questionnaire. This study uses a descriptive statistical analysis test and the correlational coefficient Spearman's rho (Sig = <0.05). Results: On average, adolescent’s social needs are met at 69.2% and adolescents dating behavior is at a low risk level at 69.2%. This research shows that there is a significant relationship between the two variables with a significance value of 0.001 (<0.05) and a correlation coefficient of -0.323, meaning that the level of strength of the relationship between the two variables reflects a fairly strong relationship in a negative direction (not in the same direction), which means that if If the value of fulfilling social needs decreases, the value of risky dating behavior will increase. Conclusion: There is a fairly strong negative relationship between fulfilling social needs and risky dating behavior in adolescents. Suggestion: Collaboration between nursing students, schools, parents, health workers and the community to conduct research or sexual health education programs that focus on building healthy interpersonal relationships and managing the risks of premarital sexual behavior in adolescents is important to prevent the emergence of disease from risky dating behavior.
