Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a physical disorder in women who are menstruating in the form of pain / cramps in the lower abdominal area radiating to the back. This matter disturbs the life activities that experience it, especially learning activities in adolescents. Gymnastics is a relaxation technique that can reduce pain because the brain and spinal cord structure will produce endorphins, which function as natural sedatives that cause a sense of comfort. This study identified the effect of dysmenorrhea gymnastics on decreasing menstrual pain. This research type was quasi-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest design. Sampling was proposive sampling; with the Slovin formula obtained sample of 23 people, data collection tools used observation sheets, NRS sheets to measure pain scale. Data were analyzed with Wilcoxon test. The results showed that there were significant differences before and after gymnastic dysmenorrhea towards decreasing menstrual pain, P value = 0.001. This means that there is an effect of dysmenorrhea gymnastic on decreasing menstrual pain in adolescent girls. It is recommended that dysmenorrhea gymnastic be used as an alternative intervention to reduce menstrual pain and as a non-pharmacological method.
