Dysmenorrhea is pain that occurs before, after, or during menstruation. The occurrence of dysmenorrhea in adolescents, especially college students, often hinders the activities that these students must perform and can lead to diseases of the reproductive system. However, dysmenorrhea is often considered a common disease, and its effects are not well understood. This study aims to analyze the effect of education using flashcards related to high calcium and magnesium diets, as well as exercise, on the severity of dysmenorrhea and knowledge levels among health and non-health students at Airlangga University. The method used in this study is experimental with a Quasi-Experimental design and a pretest-posttest control group design among health and non-health students at Airlangga University. The instruments used in this study include questionnaires, flashcards, and a recipe book. The results of this study indicate significant changes in knowledge before and after education, and significant differences in knowledge between the treatment group and the control group. The conclusion of this study is that education using flash cards can be used to improve knowledge and behavior in both groups, both health and non-health students. Therefore, it is recommended that universities conduct regular education programs related to diseases that are still underestimated by the general public

Menstrual hygiene is an important component of personal hygiene that plays a significant role in an individual's health behavior, helping to prevent disorders in reproductive organ function. This study aims to determine the effect of health promotion on the level of menstrual hygiene knowledge among children aged 13–15 years. The study design used a pre-experimental approach with a one-group pre-posttest design. The population consisted of 110 respondents, and using simple random sampling, 83 respondents were selected. Data for this study were collected using a knowledge level questionnaire. After tabulation, the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with p < 0.05. The results showed that nearly all female students (108, or 98.2%) had insufficient knowledge of menstrual hygiene before receiving health promotion. Almost all female students after receiving health promotion had adequate knowledge of menstrual hygiene, totaling 88 (80.0%). Based on the above results, the effect of health promotion on the level of knowledge of menstrual hygiene among children aged 13-15 years was found to be p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates that health promotion has an effect on the level of knowledge about menstrual hygiene among girls aged 13–15 years. Therefore, it is hoped that female students will always maintain their genital hygiene by practicing proper personal hygiene in accordance with the guidelines provided by healthcare professionals, especially during menstruation.

Menstruation was a natural process experienced by females who have entered puberty. In Islam, maintaining cleanliness during menstruation was not only essential for physical health but also has spiritual significance. Family support, especially from parents, plays a crucial role in shaping adolescents' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors about personal hygiene during menstruation. Based on the tests conducted, there is a significant relationship between family support and knowledge (p < 0.05), attitude (p < 0.05), and behavior (p < 0.05) concerning Islamic personal hygiene during menstruation. Respondents who received high family support tended to have better knowledge, attitudes, and hygiene practices. There is a correlation between family support and knowledge, gesture, and behaviors regarding Islamic personal hygiene during menstruation among female adolescents in junior high schools in Semarang.
