Abstract

Introduction: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a prevalent condition among adolescent girls, characterized by physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that may impair daily functioning and quality of life. Despite its high prevalence, evidence on comprehensive, non-pharmacological interventions targeting PMS in adolescents, particularly in school-based settings, remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ginger phytotherapy in reducing PMS severity among adolescent girls. Research Methodology: A quantitative pre-experimental study with a one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted at SMP Negeri 3 Makassar, Indonesia, between January and February 2026. A total of 50 participants were recruited through purposive sampling, of whom 46 completed the study. PMS severity was assessed using DSM-IV-TR–based criteria before and after intervention. Participants received ginger decoction 2–3 times daily for 7 days before menstruation, following a standardized protocol. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with effect size calculated. Multivariate analysis was performed using ordinal logistic regression. Statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: There was a significant reduction in PMS severity following the intervention (Z = −2.81, p = 0.005; r = 0.41). The proportion of participants with mild PMS increased from 10.9% to 78.3%, while the proportion with severe PMS decreased from 10.9% to 0%. Multivariate analysis showed that ginger phytotherapy significantly reduced the likelihood of higher PMS severity (OR = 0.16; 95% CI: 0.04–0.58; p = 0.006). Conclusion: Ginger phytotherapy is an effective and feasible non-pharmacological intervention for reducing PMS severity among adolescents. Its integration into school-based health programs may support menstrual health management in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, requiring effective community-based preventive strategies. Health education is considered a key intervention for improving public awareness and promoting sustainable dengue prevention practices. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a community health education program in improving knowledge regarding DHF prevention among residents in the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Mekar Sari. Methods: A community-based pre-experimental study using a one-group pre-test and post-test design was conducted among 37 community members. The intervention consisted of a 90-minute health education session delivered through lectures, interactive discussions, demonstrations, and educational leaflets emphasizing the PSN 3M Plus strategy. Participants completed identical knowledge questionnaires before and immediately after the intervention. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize changes in knowledge scores. Results: Before the intervention, 70.3% of participants had poor knowledge and 29.7% had fair knowledge, while none achieved a good knowledge level. Following the intervention, all participants (100%) attained the good knowledge category. The mean knowledge score increased from 8.00 to 12.89, with an average improvement of 4.89 points, indicating a substantial enhancement in participants' understanding of dengue transmission, symptoms, and prevention. Conclusion: Community-based health education effectively improved knowledge of DHF prevention and reinforced community awareness of the PSN 3M Plus strategy. Integrating regular educational activities into primary healthcare programs may strengthen community participation and contribute to sustainable dengue prevention efforts.
