Abstract

Introduction & Aim: Dysmenorrhea is a reproductive health problem commonly experienced by adolescent girls and may affect daily activities, learning concentration, and overall quality of life. This community service activity aimed to improve adolescent girls’ knowledge about dysmenorrhea and introduce the finger hold technique as one of the non-pharmacological methods to reduce pain. Method of Activity: The activities included lectures, interactive discussions, and demonstrations of the finger hold technique using media such as booklets, videos, and presentations. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test involving 12 adolescent girls aged 15–19 years with a history of dysmenorrhea. Results: The results showed that before the education was provided, most respondents had poor knowledge (67%). After the intervention, there was a significant improvement, with good knowledge increasing to 50%, fair knowledge to 33%, and poor knowledge decreasing to 17%. Discussion: Education combined with the demonstration of the finger hold technique was effective in improving adolescent girls’ knowledge about dysmenorrhea and its management. It is recommended that adolescent girls apply the finger hold technique in their daily lives, schools actively participate in providing reproductive health education, and healthcare workers expand counseling using interactive methods.

Abstract

Introduction & Objectives: Community service through Progressive Muscle Relaxation Therapy in the Donokerto I Area, Kapasan Village, Simokerto Subdistrict, was motivated by the high prevalence of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), which is characterized by gastric acid reflux and causes symptoms such as epigastric pain and a reduced quality of life. Stress is known to exacerbate symptoms through increased visceral sensitivity and gastric acid secretion. This community service, through progressive muscle relaxation therapy, is used to manage GERD symptoms. Methods: Community service used a health education approach combined with demonstrations of progressive muscle relaxation techniques. Implementation methods included lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice sessions for participants. Evaluation utilized a pre-test and post-test design to measure knowledge improvement, attitude, and observation of symptom changes using the GERD Questionnaire. The participants consisted of 21 adults with GERD. Results: The results showed an increase in participants’ knowledge and attitudes regarding GERD, and in their skill in progressive muscle relaxation techniques following the activity. Additionally, some participants reported a reduction in the intensity of symptoms such as heartburn, burning, and muscle tension. Discussion: Progressive muscle relaxation is effective as a complementary therapy in helping manage GERD symptoms, although its success depends heavily on regular and sustained practice.
