Premarital sexual behavior is a problem and at the same time a social phenomenon that is increasingly common in society. The shift in the norms of good and bad, right and wrong, especially in the context of sexuality, is increasingly evident. Premarital sexual behavior in adolescents if not handled properly can cause cases of unwanted pregnancies (KTD) which in turn lead to abortions, STIs and HIV AIDS, and even death. The aim of this study was to determine the factors associated with premarital sexual behavior in SMA X students in Kendari City in 2022.
Method: This type of research is a quantitative study using analytical methods with a cross sectional approach. The population is all students of class X and XI with a total of 466 people who are then selected through Proportional Stratified Random Sampling with a sample of 90 people.
Result: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between knowledge (p value = 0,045), information sources/media (p value = 0,004), and peer influence (p value = 0,006) and premarital sex behavior. However, there is no relationship between attitude (p value = 0,059) and parenting style (p value = 0,085, with premarital sex behavior.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between knowledge of reproductive health and sexuality, sources of information/media, and peer influence with premarital sex behavior. And there is no relationship between parenting attitudes and parenting patterns with premarital sex behavior.
