Abstract

Dysmenorrhoea is a problem for adolescent girls and disrupts daily activities. Dysmenorrhoea can occur before or at the beginning of menstruation and lasts from a few hours to a few days. Analysis of factors affecting dysmenorrhoea, frequency, intensity, timing, and type of dysmenorrhoea can be used as a basis for assessing the scale of dysmenorrhoea. The purpose of this study was to apply skin stimulation modules in reducing dysmenorrhoea in adolescents. Research methods are carried out qualitatively by looking for dominant factors that influence the incidence of dysmenorrhoea. The study population was students of Study Program D III Polkesbaya Midwifery Sutomo, a sample of 77 students was taken by executive sampling. Dependent variables of the study: Age, Family History, Exercise, Junkfood Habits, Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type of dysmenorrhoea. Independent variable: skin stimulation. Analysis is carried out descriptively, developing instruments, Focus Group Discussion, Expert Consultation, and compiling modules. Result. Early adolescence age factors, 84% of adolescents have dysmenorrhoea, family history factors, 63%, there is a family history. Jogging sports factor, 67% of adolescents experience dysmenorrhoea. Factors of junkfood habits 45.7% of teens say junkfood is their favorite food. The frequency of dysmenorrhoea 95.7% of adolescents often experience dysmenorrhoea in the menstrual cycle. Intensity of dysmenorrhoea 45.7% of adolescents said the picture of pain was mild and moderate intensity. Dysmenorrhoea 80% of adolescents experience dysmenorrhoea at the beginning of menstruation. Juvenile dysmenorrhoea type, 98% primary dysmenorrhoea. Discussion. Age, family history, jogging habits, and junk food consumption habits are factors that influence adolescent dysmenorrhoea. Conversely, moderate exercise will produce endorphins, neuropeptides that can reduce dysmenorrhoea. The habit of eating junk food can create fat deposits and cause obesity and the risk of primary dysmenorrhoea. This research may form the basis for other studies to learn more deeply about risk factors, pathophysiological mechanisms, and better management strategies for primary dysmenorrhoea in adolescents
