Young women frequently have dysmenorrhea as <br />a result of menarche. Dysmenorrhea that isn’t medicated appropriately <br />might make it difficult for young women to go about their daily <br />lives. Consuming kunyit asam is one solution to relieve the intensity <br />of dysmenorrhea pain. This study aims to determine whether the <br />consumption of kunyit asam and its regularity during menstruation can <br />lower abdominal pain in dysmenorrhea.</p> <p><strong>METHODS</strong><br />In October 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted at the Yayasan <br />Indocement Middle School in Bogor, West Java. Cluster random <br />sampling was used to collect data from 108 junior high school students <br />who completed the Form Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) questionnaire <br />to determine the frequency and duration of kunyit asam consumption and <br />the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) questionnaire to reduce the severity of <br />dysmenorrhea pain. The Chi-Square test was used to examine the data, <br />with the level of <0.05 as the significance level. </p> <p><strong>RESULTS</strong><br />Of 108 respondents, most of them experienced menarche at >11 years <br />old (90.74%), always take kunyit asam solution (57.41%) with duration <br />>3 months (74.07%) and did not have menstrual pain (88.89%). In <br />junior high school adolescents, a significant correlation was discovered <br />between the frequency and the duration of kunyit asam consumption and <br />dysmenorrhea (p=0.016, p=0.007).</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong><br />In junior high school students, there is a correlation between the frequency <br />and duration of kunyit asam consumption and dysmenorrhea.</p> <p><strong>KEYWORDS: </strong>Regularity, Length, Kunyit Asam Solution, Dysmenorrhea, Teenage Girls</p>}, number={2}, journal={Jurnal Biomedika dan Kesehatan}, author={Prasetyowati, Sebrina Andri and Surjadi, Lily Marliany}, year={2022}, month={Aug.}, pages={109–115} }
