Anxiety is a psychological issue that is often experienced by young women, particularly when dealing with academic demands, social pressures, and the physical changes that occur during puberty. In addition, irregular menstrual cycles are a common problem faced by many young women, which can have long-term impacts on their reproductive health. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between anxiety levels and the menstrual cycle in adolescent girls at SMPN 3 Cianjur in 2024. The research uses a Stratified random sampling method, involving 80 adolescent girls who experience both anxiety disorders and menstrual cycle irregularities. Data collection was carried out using primary data obtained directly from participants, utilizing the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HRS-A) questionnaire and a menstrual cycle questionnaire. The statistical analysis involved both univariate and bivariate techniques, with a chi-square test employed to examine the relationship between the two variables. The results of the chi-square test showed a significance value of 0.675, indicating that there is no significant relationship between anxiety levels and menstrual cycle irregularities in the adolescent girls at SMPN 3 Cianjur. This study contributes to the understanding of the psychological and physiological challenges faced by adolescents, and highlights the need for further research to explore other factors that may influence menstrual health and mental well-being. Given the findings, this study recommends that future research consider including additional variables such as lifestyle factors or hormonal imbalances that could provide deeper insights into the relationship between mental health and reproductive health.
