Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) as a non-pharmacological intervention for reducing pain intensity in individuals with primary dysmenorrhea. A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design with follow-up was employed involving seven female participants aged 20–24 years. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) across three time points. The Friedman test indicated a significant difference in pain intensity over time (χ²(2) = 12.08, p = 0.002). Post hoc Wilcoxon Signed-Rank tests revealed significant reductions from pretest to posttest (Z = -2.392, p = 0.017) and from pretest to follow-up (Z = -2.388, p = 0.017). These findings suggest that GIM is associated with reduced menstrual pain intensity and may offer preliminary promise as a complementary intervention. However, given the small sample size, absence of a control group, and reliance on self-reported outcomes, the results should be interpreted as pilot evidence. Further research using more rigorous experimental designs and larger samples is warranted to establish the efficacy of GIM.

Abstract

  This cross-sectional study examined the association between self-compassion and posttraumatic growth (PTG) among 399 female victims of verbal abuse aged 18-24 years recruited via accidental sampling across Indonesia. Data were collected using validated Indonesian versions of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS, 19 items, Cronbach's α = .93) and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI, 15 items, Cronbach's α = .87), analyzed via binary logistic regression. Self-compassion showed a significant positive association with higher odds of PTG (OR = 1.032, 95% CI [1.003, 1.063], p = .030), although the effect was small (Nagelkerke R² = 0.017) and model discrimination poor (AUC = 0.497, Hosmer-Lemeshow p < .001). Findings highlight self-compassion's concurrent statistical relationship with PTG in collectivistic contexts, with implications for mindfulness-based interventions. Limitations include cross-sectional design and model under-specification.
