FACTORS RELATED TO THE INCIDENCE OF PRIMARY DYSMENORRHOEA IN CONGGEANG STATE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN 2022

Abstract

Primary dysmenorrhoea is menstrual pain that occurs without being accompanied by abnormalities in the pronounced genital apparatus. Factors associated with the incidence of primary dysmenorrhoea are menarche age, length of menstruation, and exercise activity. The purpose of this study is to analyze factors related to the incidence of primary dysmenorrhoea in Conggeang State High School students in 2022. This study used a quantitative method with case control in determining samples using the Probability Sampling technique with the Proportianate Stratified Random Sampling method. Data analysis used Chi-Square to prove whether or not there was a relationship between menarche age, menstrual length and exercise activity with the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea and odds ratio to determine the magnitude of the risk of primary dysmenorrhea. The total sample of the study was 35 respondents of the case group and 35 respondents of the control group. The results of the analysis showed that there was an association between menarche p-value age 0.004 OR 4,231 (95% CI 1,550-11,546), menstrual duration p-value 0,009 OR 3,674 (95% CI 1,369-9,858), sports activity p-value 0,002 OR 4.889 (95% CI 1,759-13,586) with the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between menarche age, menstrual duration and sports activities with the incidence of primary dysmenorrhoea in Conggeang State High School students in 2022. The suggestions in this study are expected to increase students' understanding of reproductive health, especially in dealing with the problem of primary dysmenorrhea events.
