Primary dysmenorrhea frequently disrupts the academic and daily activities of adolescent girls. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 5-minute warm compress application in reducing menstrual pain intensity. A quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted on 42 female students of SMAN 28 Batam selected through purposive sampling. Participants applied a warm compress (40–45 °C) to the lower abdomen for 5 minutes. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Before the intervention, 42.9% of participants reported severe pain (NRS 7–10). After the 5-minute application, the severe pain category disappeared entirely (0%), with 57.1% of subjects shifting to the mild pain category (NRS 1–3). Statistical analysis showed a significant reduction in dysmenorrhea intensity (p < 0.001). A 5-minute warm compress application is a rapid and effective non-pharmacological intervention for relieving primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents. Its practicality makes this method a feasible self-care strategy to implement in school settings.

Primary dysmenorrhea is a common reproductive health problem among adolescents and women of reproductive age, significantly affecting quality of life and academic productivity. Psychological stress and dietary patterns are considered important contributing factors influencing the incidence and severity of menstrual pain. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stress levels and dietary intake with the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea in adolescents and women of reproductive age. A literature review was conducted using articles published between 2015 and 2025 retrieved from Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed descriptively and narratively. The findings showed that the prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea ranged from 54.4% to 90.6%. Higher stress levels were significantly associated with increased risk and intensity of menstrual pain (OR up to 4.03). Frequent consumption of sugary foods, fast food, and pro-inflammatory dietary patterns was linked to higher incidence and severity of dysmenorrhea (OR up to 4.8), whereas adequate intake of fruits, vegetables, iron, calcium, and magnesium demonstrated protective effects. Primary dysmenorrhea is multifactorial and significantly associated with stress and dietary intake; therefore, integrated stress management and nutritional education interventions are recommended in adolescent reproductive health programs.

Adolescent girls represent a population that commonly experiences primary dysmenorrhea. Inadequate dietary habits may contribute to inflammatory responses, while low levels of physical activity can reduce the body’s natural pain regulation, both of which may intensify menstrual pain. This study aimed to analyze the association between dietary habits and physical activity with the severity of primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. Participants were selected using proportional random sampling, involving 71 eleventh-grade students at SMAN 6 Malang. Dietary intake was assessed using a FFQ, physical activity levels were measured through the PAL indicator, and dysmenorrhea severity was evaluated using the WaLIDD score. The results showed that nearly half of the respondents had adequate dietary habits (49.3%) and moderate physical activity levels (47.9%), while most participants experienced moderate primary dysmenorrhea (53.5%). Statistical analysis using Somers’ d and Gamma tests yielded p-values of 0.039 and <0.001, indicating significant associations between dietary habits, physical activity, and dysmenorrhea severity. Correlation analysis demonstrated a moderate inverse relationship between dietary habits and dysmenorrhea severity (r = −0.301) and a strong association between physical activity and dysmenorrhea severity (r = 0.690).

Primary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain without any organic abnormalities, commonly experienced by adolescent girls, which affects daily activities and quality of life. Non-pharmacological treatments such as warm compresses and lavender aromatherapy are considered effective and safe alternatives. This study aimed to analyze the difference in effectiveness between the application of warm compresses and lavender aromatherapy in reducing dysmenorrhea pain among female students at SMA Ummu Rahmah Patumbak. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest two-group comparison approach. A total of 20 respondents were divided into two treatment groups. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale, and data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed a significant reduction in pain in both groups (p<0.05), with the average pain score in the warm compress group decreasing from 5.50 to 0.55, and in the lavender aromatherapy group from 5.30 to 0.65. In conclusion, both interventions effectively reduced dysmenorrhea pain, with warm compresses showing greater effectiveness.

Adolescence is a critical phase in individual development, especially for adolescent girls who begin to experience menstruation as a sign of reproductive maturity. However, not all adolescents experience menstruation normally; some experience disorders such as menstrual pain, irregular cycles, and prolonged bleeding. This study aims to explore in depth the subjective experiences of adolescent girls with menstrual disorders at SMP Negeri 2 Bunta, Banggai Regency, focusing on the nature of the disorders experienced, their interpretation of these experiences, coping strategies, and the social support received. This study employs a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The primary informants were female adolescents in grades VII–IX who had experienced menstrual disorders in the past six months, selected purposively until data saturation was achieved. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that menstrual disorders are viewed as normal by most informants, despite causing physical discomfort and psychological anxiety. Adolescents' responses to these disorders vary, ranging from the use of warm compresses and medication to no intervention at all. The primary sources of information are mothers and social media, while the roles of teachers and schools remain limited.
