Abstract

Menstruation in adolescents is one of the indicators of biological maturity that occurs during puberty and signifies a woman’s readiness for pregnancy. Women’s reproductive health is influenced by various factors, including nutritional status and body weight. In addition, women often experience various menstrual-related problems, one of which is menstrual pain or dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is a common complaint among adolescent girls during menstruation and has the potential to interfere with daily activities. The use of natural ingredients, such as red ginger, is considered a relatively safe and effective alternative therapy for reducing pain without causing side effects associated with chemical medications.  This study aimed to analyze the effect of administering red ginger decoction on reducing the level of dysmenorrhea pain among female adolescents at Nusantara Private Senior High School, Lubuk Pakam. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest approach involving 20 adolescent female respondents who experienced dysmenorrhea. Pain intensity was measured using a pain scale before and after the administration of red ginger decoction over several menstrual cycles. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to determine significant differences.  The results of the Wilcoxon test indicated a significant reduction in pain (p = 0.000), with the mean pain score decreasing from 2.60 to 1.70 after the intervention. A total of 40% of respondents reported no pain after receiving the red ginger decoction. In conclusion, the administration of red ginger decoction has been proven effective in reducing dysmenorrhea pain among adolescent girls and can be considered a safe, practical, and natural alternative therapy.

Abstract

Adolescent reproductive health is a crucial aspect of improving the quality of future generations. One of the most common problems experienced by adolescent girls is dysmenorrhea, which can negatively affect learning activities, concentration, and overall quality of life. The utilization of red ginger (Zingiber officinale var. rubrum) may serve as an alternative approach to help manage this condition. This community service program aimed to enhance adolescent girls’ reproductive health literacy and improve their skills in processing red ginger into a herbal beverage that supports reproductive health. A participatory and educational workshop-based approach was implemented involving 30 eleventh-grade female students of SMA Swasta Nusantara Lubuk Pakam. The activities consisted of educational sessions, interactive discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on practice in preparing red ginger herbal drinks. Data were collected using knowledge questionnaires, skill observation sheets, and participant satisfaction questionnaires. The results demonstrated that the average knowledge score increased from 56.25% before the intervention to 88.75% after the program, representing an improvement of 32.5%. The greatest increase was observed in participants’ understanding of the benefits of red ginger as a herbal therapy, with an increase of 37%. Observation results revealed that participants achieved a good level of practical skill in processing red ginger, with an average success rate of 88.5%, while the highest achievement was recorded in the product presentation aspect (92%). Furthermore, participant satisfaction reached 94%, with the perceived benefits of the program receiving the highest score (97%). The red ginger processing workshop was proven effective in improving knowledge, practical skills, and awareness of adolescent girls regarding reproductive health, as well as promoting the utilization of red ginger as a non-pharmacological alternative to help manage dysmenorrhea.
