Abstract

Adolescence is an important developmental period characterized by biological, psychological, and social changes, including reproductive development. Adequate understanding of personal and reproductive health is essential for adolescents to maintain personal hygiene, understand biological changes, and make responsible health-related decisions. In Islamic boarding schools, religious and ethical education constitutes an integral part of daily life and may contribute to the development of female students' understanding and health-related behaviors. This literature review aimed to examine the role of religion- and ethics-based education in shaping female students' understanding of personal and reproductive health. A narrative literature review was conducted using relevant literature addressing religious education, ethical education, adolescent reproductive health, and reproductive health education in Islamic boarding schools. The reviewed literature included research articles, community service publications, and relevant academic sources. The review indicates that religion- and ethics-based education may contribute to reproductive health understanding through fiqh education, Islamic ethics and morality, tarbiyah, female-oriented education, clean and healthy living practices, as well as guidance and role modeling by teachers and caregivers. Integrating religious values with scientifically accurate reproductive health information may help female students understand personal hygiene, menstruation, puberty, and responsibility for their bodies as part of moral and religious values. However, limited access to reliable information, cultural taboos, reluctance to discuss reproductive health, and limited availability of trained educators remain challenges. Integrating evidence-based reproductive health education with religious and ethical values is therefore necessary to develop comprehensive and contextually appropriate understanding among female students in Islamic boarding schools.
