Data were collected using a questionnaire, and data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis techniques. The results show that the majority of adolescents experience moderate stress (51.1%) and mild menstrual pain (48.9%). The analysis reveals a significant relationship between stress levels and the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, with a Spearman Rank correlation coefficient of 0.656 and a p-value of 0.000.
