Abstrak

Puberty often poses challenges for adolescent girls, especially when facing menarche. Menarche as the first menstruation is generally in the middle of puberty before entering the reproductive period. Readiness to face menarche reflects the ability of adolescents to accept change, while unpreparedness can have an impact on physical and mental health. This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge and family support with readiness to face menarche at puberty age at Bina Mandiri Rajeg Elementary School, Tangerang Regency. The study used a cross-sectional design with quantitative analysis. The number of samples in this study was 127 female students who had not experienced menarche through total sampling. The majority of respondents had insufficient knowledge as many as 60 (47.20), had insufficient family support as many as 55 (43.3) and the majority of respondents were in a state of unpreparedness as many as 67 (52.8). The study showed no relationship between knowledge and readiness p value 0.382>0.05, which indicates that knowledge does not always reflect emotional, mental, or social readiness. On the other hand, there is a significant relationship between family support and readiness to face menarche p value 0.000<0.05, where the greater the support received, the higher the readiness of adolescents to face these physical, psychological and social changes
