Abstract

The incidence of dysmenorrhea is quite high in the world. The average incidence rate is 1,769,425 people (90%) who experience dysmenorrhea. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in Indonesia is quite high, namely 54.89% primary dysmenorrhea and 9.36% secondary dysmenorrhea. It is estimated that as many as 90% of women in Indonesia have experienced dysmenorrhea but do not report it to health services. Severe dysmenorrhea can interfere with daily activities, forcing sufferers to rest and leave school activities. Pain management can be done by adolescent girls if they are told how to handle it non-pharmacologically using non-pharmacological methods, one of which is by administering lavender aromatherapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Lavender Aromatherapy on reducing pain scales in adolescent girls at PAB 5 Klumpanga High School. This study is useful for increasing knowledge and information about how to reduce menstrual pain scales by administering lavender aromatherapy.
