“…Although past literature has emphasized the cruciality of parents’ involvement in the success of sexuality education (McKay et al, 2014; UNESCO, 2018), parents are still a relative group that is under-researched within the related aspects. Most of the existing literature has often discussed the perception of sexuality education from the perspectives of young people (Allen, 2005; Javadnoori et al, 2012; Opara et al, 2012) and teachers (Cohen et al, 2004; Peskin et al, 2011). Parent’s perception, especially their beliefs toward sexuality education, have not been adequately addressed to the knowledge of this study.…”

“…Parental support is deemed vital to the success of child-related policy and programs (Puhl et al, 2017; Pyper et al, 2016; Van Hoof et al, 2010). However, most of the past literature discussed the perception of sexuality education from the perspectives of young people (Allen, 2005; Javadnoori et al, 2012; Opara et al, 2012) and teachers (Cohen et al, 2004; Peskin et al, 2011).

The quality of sexuality education is significant in encouraging and expanding the knowledge of sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Parents’ attitudes and beliefs toward sexuality education contribute to the effectiveness of sexuality education in schools. Consequently, there is a need to provide a validated instrument to investigate parental attitude and beliefs toward school-based sexuality education. The objective of this study is to describe the development and test the psychometric properties of an instrument that measures the attitudes and beliefs of parents toward the implementation of sexuality education in primary schools within Malaysia. Items for the instrument in this study were developed through literature review via the deduction method. Data collection was conducted in two phases. The first phase involved 174 parents with children who were attending primary schools through convenience sampling. Then, the multistage sampling method was employed to collect data from 350 parents. Results from the exploratory factor analysis have identified four latent dimensions, which are attitude toward sexuality education, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy, that support the SRH learning among primary school children. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrates a good overall fit with the application of post hoc modifications. The results also indicate that the instrument has high internal consistency, as well as convergent and discriminant validity. Findings from this study have indicated that the instrument can be used as a valid and reliable measure to examine the attitudes and beliefs of parents toward sexuality education in primary schools within Malaysia.

“…Many studies suggest optimizing parental involvement in reproductive health education, that parental involvement in reproductive health education is very necessary, besides that involvement and conversation between parents and children can create a harmonious relationship and stronger affection. In addition, the emotional relationship of parentsadolescents can affect communication between them about sexual and reproductive health issues (Harchegani et al, 2021).…”

Reproductive health can be done with various approaches, one of which is through reproductive health education based on the Cognitive Psychology Approach (CPA). Juveniles and reproductive health are closely related. The meaning of reproductive health itself is a healthy condition both physically, mentally and socially related to reproductive systems, functions and processes. Cognitive psychology is a science that focuses on how the information process goes or in other words, this psychology focuses more on the event that individuals get information and process it in the brain, then then it is realized in daily behavior. This study aims to find out how reproductive health education based on the Cognitive Psychology Approach (CPA) influences adolescent reproductive health knowledge. The type of research used is quasi-experimental using a pre and post-test approach where students are given interventions to see student knowledge about reproductive health based on the Cognitive Psychology Approach (CPA). The sample in this study was 81 people selected through accidental sampling. The results of this study show the influence of Reproductive Health Education based on the Cognitive Psychology Approach on undergraduate students at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra. The results of this study are also expected to make a positive contribution in the health sciences so that it has a broad impact on adolescent health conditions and knowledge related to reproductive health based on a Cognitive Psychology Approach (CPA).

“…Factors that affect reproductive health are biological, psychological, environmental, cultural, and demographic-economic factors (World Health Organization, 2018a). Emotional relationships and communication in reproductive health learning between mothers and children can reduce the risk of reproductive health problems in adolescents (Harchegani et al, 2021). Poverty, peer pressure, limited recreational facilities, alcohol, and illegal drugs affect adolescents' reproductive Health (Simuyaba et al, 2021).…”

The number of reports of poor reproductive and sexual health in adolescents is enormous. Sexual education is very critical for adolescent health. Sexual education has shown more effective results when implemented in collaboration with adolescents. Lack of educational resources, issues considered taboo and cultural boundaries, and lack of trust in maintaining confidentiality cause ambiguity and misconceptions about sexual education. Implementing sexual education involves many parties, so this study aimed to analyze the stakeholders' perspectives on sexual education delivery for adolescents. This systemic review was conducted to find relevant articles in Scopus, CINAHL, Science Direct, and ProQuest databases—the research guideline using The PRISMA checklist. The eligibility criteria and The JBI Checklist were prepared as a guide in measuring article quality. In the final review, twelve articles were included. The articles mentioned parents, adolescents, teachers, and other stakeholders' perspectives. Parents' perspectives have who is responsible for educating adolescents, taboo and lack of communication skills between parent-child, contents of sexual education, and delayed sexual education. Adolescents' perspectives, such as sources and ideal versions of sexual education. Teachers' perspectives include people who should be responsible and skill-based teachers. Meanwhile, other stakeholders' perspectives have school-based, religious challenges, partnerships, and communication strategies with adolescents. This study shows the need for improvement in delivering sexual education. Keywords: Stakeholders; sexual education; skill-based teachers; parents care; communication skills
